what does the soma contain?

which part of the neuron promote action potential?

the axon is a long bundle of fibers that carry information away from the soma

which part of the neuron houses neurotransmitters?

which part of the neuron allows a signal to pass between one neuron to another?

permeability stage is when the positive and negative charges come together

the action potential means there is more positive ions outside of the neuron than inside it

the re-uptake consists of excess neurotransmitters that are left in the synapse getting recollected

which neurotransmitter is linked to energy and sympathetic nervous system, and helps respond to high-emotion?

which neurotransmitter is associated with the sympathetic nervous system and increases alertness, blood pressure and heart rate?

which neurotransmitter is excitatory and involved in memory?

which neurotransmitter is inhibitory and helps slow down nerve transmission?

some drugs act as agonists. what does that mean?

which medical machine has a pulse that distorts the magnetic field and atoms in the body?

which medical machine measures atom activity, oxygen from blood flow, and gives anatomy of brain and activity?
