| A | B |
|---|
| resting potential of neuron | -70mV |
| Na+/K+ pump | maintains resting potential |
| depolarization | shifts membrane potential away from 0mV |
| graded potential | affects only small portion of cell membrane |
| action potential | occurs when membrane depolarizes to threshold |
| all or non principle | stimulus produces an action potential or it doesn't |
| contimuous conduction | conduction along unmylinated axons |
| saltatory conduction | action potential that jumps from node to node along an axon |
| norepinephrine & ACh | adrenergic neurotransmitters |
| GABA, dopamine, & serotonin | inhibitory neurotransmitters |
| divergence | info spreads from one neuron to many |
| convergence | info comes from many neurons to one |
| parallel processing | several pools receive info at the same time |
| negative feedback system | a reflex response that opposes the stimulus |
