a cell in the body, including the brain, which sends info using both electrical and chemical processes
neuron
1 of 6
the cable that leads from a cell body of a neutron down to the terminal buttons that hold the neurotransmitter
axon
2 of 6
the electrical signal that travels from the cell body of a neutron to the terminal buttons, where it releases a neurotransmitter.
impulse
3 of 6
a chemical at the terminal button of a neuron, which is released by the impulse and then goes into the synaptic gap
neurotransmitter
4 of 6
a gap between the dendrites of one neutron and the next
synaptic gap
5 of 6
what happens when a neurotransmitter released by an impulse of one neuron goes across the synaptic gap and is taken up at the dendrites of another neuron
synaptic transmission
