Neurotransmitters
-
-
Direction of voltage shift (positve or negative) depends on which receptor sites are activated in the post synaptic neuron
A transmitter has to fit into the receptor site for the binding to occur. As a result, specific transmitters can deliver signals only at certain locations on the cell membrane.
Reuptake: A process by which neurotransmitters are sponged up in the synaptic cleft by the presynaptic membrane.
Neurons
Individual cells in the nervous system, that receive, integrate and transmit information.
Glial cells: cells that found throughout the nervous system and provide various types of support to the neurons.
Dendrites, Soma (Cell Body), Axon, Myelin Sheath, Axon Terminals
