Neurons and synaptic transmission TRUE or FALSE??

A NEURON is a cell in the body that sends information using both electrical and chemical processes.

• True

• False

The AXON TERMINALS are found near the cell body, and receive messages from other cells.

• True

• False

A NEUROTRANSMITTER is the electrical signal that travels from the cell body of a neuron, through to the AXON TERMINAL.

• True

• False

A NEUROTRANSMITTER is a chemical which is released at the AXON TERMINAL of a neuron.

• True

• False

An electrical IMPULSE releases the neurotransmitter at the SYNAPSE.

• True

• False

SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION is the cable that leads from a cell body of a neuron down to the Axon Terminal that holds the neurotransmitter.

• True

• False

MOTOR NEURONS carry messages towards the brain.

• True

• False

SYNAPTIC GAP is the space between the dendrites on the neuron.

• True

• False

Once a neurotransmitter is released into the synapse it binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron

• True

• False

A SENSORY NEURON transmits a signal from the senses towards the brain.

• True

• False
