- Neural pathways
- Converging NP
- Impulses from several neurons travel to one neuron
- increases the sensitivity to excitatory on inhibitory signals
- Impulses from several neurons travel to one neuron
- Diverging NP
- Impulses from one neuron travel to several neurons so affects more than one destination at the same time
- Allows fie motor control of muscles in the hand and coordinated control of body temperature
- reverberating NP
- neurons later in the pathway link with earlier neurons sending the impulse back the pathway
- Allows repeated stimulation - controls rhythmic activities such as breathing
- neurons later in the pathway link with earlier neurons sending the impulse back the pathway
- Converging NP
