The function of the nervous system - receive information from the external or internal environment process that information send that information to effectors to move a muscle or change the secretion of a gland Which part of the nervous system is the receptor - sensory Which part of the nervous system is the control center - brain and spinal cord (CNS) Which part of the nervous system are the effectors - muscles and glands The nervous system is _____. - homeostasis Neurons - "N...

Step 1: The Chemical Synapse An action potential arrives at the end bulb. Step 2: The Chemical Synapse Ca++ enters the presynaptic terminal. Step 3: The Chemical Synapse Ca++ interacts with the synaptic vesicle and fuses with the presynaptic membrane. Step 4: The Chemical Synapse Neurotransmitter is released and binds to the postsynaptic transmitter receptor. Step 5: The Chemical Synapse Receptor protein undergoes a change in shape that allows ions to flow. Step 6: The Chemical Synapse...
