axon

The neurons major biosynthetic center (contains the majority of its organs)

generate action potential (APs)

Transmits/propagate the action potential

acts as an insulator to increase the velocity of action potentials propagation.

Gaps in between the myelin that help to renew/replenish the action potentials.

covered with receptors that bind to neurotransmitters, this binding generates graded potentials

release of neurotransmitters to postsynaptic neuron

threshold must be reduced in order for an action potential to be launched. anything below threshold will not open: known as what principle?
