intermediate cytoskeleton


maintains cell shape

the cell body includes

nucleus

many extensions from the cell body

multipolar neurons

one axon and one dendrite

bipolar neurons

have a short single process leaving the cell body

unipolar neurons

ability to respond to a stimulus

irritability

ability to transmit an impulse

conductivity

fewer positive ions are inside the cell than outside the cell

resting neurons

at rest the plasma membrane is

polarized

what depolarizes a neurons membrane

any sort of stimulus

what allows sodium to flow inside the membrane

depolarized membrane

the exchange of ions initiates an action potential in the neuron

depolarization

when do impulses travel faster

when fibers have a myelin sheath

when potassium ions rush out of the neuron and sodium ions rush in

repolarization

what restores the original configuration

the sodium potassium pump, using atp

rapid, predictable, and involuntary response to a stimulus

reflex, occurs over pathways called reflex arcs

direct route from a sensory neuron, to an interneuron, to an effector

reflex arc

activation of skeletal muscles
