<UPDATED VERSION>
Multipolar neuron- ANSWER ✔A nerve cell that has many dendrites and a single
axon.
Bipolar neuron- ANSWER ✔A nerve cell that has a single dendrite at one end and
a single axon at the other end.
,Unipolar neuron- ANSWER ✔Also called monopolar neuron. A nerve cell with a
single branch that leaves the cell body and then extends in two directions; one
end is the receptive pole, the other end the output zone.
Interneuron- ANSWER ✔A neuron that is neither a sensory neuron nor a motor
neuron; it receives input from and sends output to other neurons.
Motor neuron- ANSWER ✔Also called motoneuron. A nerve cell that transmits
motor messages, stimulating a muscle or gland.
Sensory neuron- ANSWER ✔A neuron that is directly affected by changes in the
environment, such as light, odor, or touch
,Arborization- ANSWER ✔The elaborate branching of the dendrites of some
neurons.
Presynaptic- ANSWER ✔Referring to the region of a synapse that releases
neurotransmitter.
Postsynaptic- ANSWER ✔Referring to the region of a synapse that receives and
responds to neurotransmitter.
Presynaptic membrane- ANSWER ✔The specialized membrane of the axon
terminal of the neuron that transmits information by releasing neurotransmitter
, Local Potential - ANSWER ✔ An electrical potential that is initiated by stimulation
at a specific site, which is a graded response that spreads passively across the cell
membrane, decreasing in strength with time and distance.
Threshold - ANSWER ✔ The stimulus intensity that is just adequate to trigger an
action potential.
All-or-none Property - ANSWER ✔ The fact that the amplitude of the action
potential is independent of the magnitude of the stimulus.
Afterpotential - ANSWER ✔ The positive or negative change in membrane
potential that may follow an action potential.
Voltage-gated Na+ channel - ANSWER ✔ A Na+-selective channel that opens or
closes in response to changes in the voltage of the local membrane potential; it
mediates the action potential.
Refractory - ANSWER ✔ Transient inactivated or exhausted.
Absolute Refractory Phase - ANSWER ✔ A brief period of complete insensitivity to
stimuli.
