3.

Why are reflexes important?

a)

They are rapid

b)

They don't involve the conscious part of the brain

c)

They are voluntary

d)

They are involuntary

e)

They cause harm

4.

Why is transmission across a synapse slower than along a neurone?

It occurs using a chemical so needs to move by osmosis

c)

The nerve cell is insulated so it moves faster

There are many dendrites to pick up lots of impulses from other neurones
