8680343829Apoptosis is:When cell death occurs selectively (programmed) or by trauma (necrosis)114
8680343830How does information get communicated from one neuron to the next neuron?1. Neuron cell. Presynaptic neuron. Has a resting membrane potential's that has a negative charge of -70 MV 2. Information is going to move in One Direction 3. As the cell body. Soma. Begins to receive conduction through the dendrites, the charges combine at the level of the axon hillock (summation) 3. This connection across the selectively permeable membrane of the neuron is an example of electrochemical gradient 4. Impulse at the level of Axon hillock is called now action potential and begins to move down the axon. 5. K and Na ions are exchanged it back and forth the axons cell membrane. Selectively permeable. At the nodes of Ranvier. 6. If they charge is great enough by the time it reaches terminal buttons, all or nothing principle applies. Critical threshold must be reached and nerves fire115

8680343843Critical thresholdWhen it is reached, the nerve buyers and the vesicles housed in the terminal button release the specified neurotransmitter into the synapse128
8680343844Post synaptic neuronWhen they charge moves towards the receptor sites on the next neurons dendrites by means of propagation129
8680343845propagation of the action potentialis a brief reversal of membrane potential where the membrane potential changes from -70mV to +30mV. When the membrane potential of the axon hillock of a neuron reaches threshold, a rapid change in membrane potential occurs in the form of an action potential.130
