A synapse connects two what?
neurones
1 of 21
A synapse is basically the _____ between 2 neurones?
gap
2 of 21
How are the nerve signals/impulses transferred?
a chemical is released which diffuses across the gap
3 of 21
RELFEXES
------------------
Reflexes are rapid _______ responses that dont involve the ______ _____ of the ______?
rapid automatic responses that dont involve the conscious part of the brain
4 of 21
This reduces the chance?
of getting injured
5 of 21
The passage of information in a reflex is called what?
the reflex arc

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TOUCH A HOT OBJECT
----------------------------

Firstly a ________ is detected by a _______?
stimulus detected by a receptor
7 of 21
In this case, what is the stimulus and receptor?
s=heat
r=skin
8 of 21
An electrical impulse is then sent along what neurone and to where?
sensory neurone to the CNS
9 of 21
Where specifically in the CNS?
Spinal cord
10 of 21
In the CNS at the end of the sensory neurone there is a junction called what?
a synapse
11 of 21
Here, what is released?
a chemical
12 of 21
And the chemical will what?
diffuse across the gap
13 of 21
Causing the impulse to be sent along what neurone?
relay
14 of 21
The electrical impulse then travels along the relay neurone until it reaches?
another synapse
15 of 21
Here?
a chemical is released
16 of 21
And the impulse is sent along what neurone?
motor
17 of 21
The motor neurone takes the impulse to where?
an effector
18 of 21
In this case what is the effector?
a muscle
19 of 21
Here the muscle will ______ causing the hand to what?
contract causing the hand to move away from the object
20 of 21
This is called the?
response
