A detailed lesson on how neurons work. It covers neuron structure and types, then explains resting potential, the action potential, depolarisation and repolarisation, the refractory period, saltatory conduction and the all or none response.
What this presentation covers
- neuron structure: dendrites, cell body and axon
- the three types of neuron
- nerves
- resting potential and ion distribution
- the action potential
- depolarisation and repolarisation
- the refractory period
- saltatory conduction and nodes of Ranvier
- the all or none response
