In the labeled neuron, the [blank] branches receive signals from other neurons. What structure belongs there?
The figure points to the long fiber carrying an impulse away from the cell body. What label belongs at [blank]?
On the neuron diagram, the [blank] wraps sections of the axon and helps the signal travel faster. What is it?
The diagram labels gaps between myelin segments as [blank]. What structure is being identified?
At the end of the axon, the figure marks [blank], where messages are passed toward the next neuron. What structure is this?
What does the cell body do in a neuron?
A biology student says myelin is like insulation around a wire. What does myelin mainly do for a neuron?
Why do terminal buttons matter in neural communication?
A neuron has tree-like branches extending from its cell body. What is the main job of those dendrites?
The process diagram shows neural firing. After dendrites receive input and the cell body integrates it, what step comes next?
In the firing sequence figure, what happens immediately after threshold is reached?
The process diagram ends at terminal buttons after an impulse travels down the axon. What step belongs in the final [blank]?
In the synapse diagram, the [blank] is the tiny gap between the sending neuron's terminal and the receiving neuron. What is it called?
In the synapse figure, the [blank] sites on the receiving membrane bind neurotransmitter molecules. What are they?
A weak stimulus makes a neuron more likely to fire but does not reach threshold. What happens?
A neuron fires with the same strength when stimulation is barely at threshold or far above it. What principle does this show?
What is the threshold of a neuron?
After a neuron fires, it briefly cannot fire again at once. What is that short reset period called?
A neuron at rest has not fired yet but is ready if enough input arrives. What term describes that baseline state?
A strong stimulus pushes a neuron far above threshold. Compared with a stimulus that barely reaches threshold, what changes?
A neurotransmitter has crossed the synapse and attached to specialized proteins on the next neuron's membrane. What are these binding places called?
After serotonin carries a message, the sending neuron absorbs leftover serotonin back into its terminal button. What is this cleanup process called?
Some drug molecules fit receptor sites and mimic a neurotransmitter's effect. What are such molecules called?
A molecule blocks dopamine receptors so dopamine cannot produce its usual effect. What kind of substance is it?
A neurotransmitter remains in the synaptic cleft too long because reuptake is blocked. What effect is most likely?
Crack the passcode before the zombies get in.
