Axons and dendrites - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Why is myelin important in the nervous system? A. It allows signals to travel faster along axons because depolarization occurs only at myelinated locations. B. It allows signals to travel faster along axons because depolarization occurs only at nonmyelinated locations. C. It bundles the dendrites of adjacent neurons together. D. It increases capacitance across the cell membrane, which helps electrical signals to leave the axons. E. It traps neurotransmitters, increasing their concentratio...

Layers of the skin - epidermis, dermis, hypodermis Stratum Corneum - Protective durable overcoat, waterproof, tough, relatively insensitive to biological, chemical and physical assault. Stratum Lucidum - visible only in thick skin, few layers thick, dead clear cells Stratum Granulosum - 3-5 layers of thick keratinocytes flastten out Stratum Spinosum - overlies the stratum basale, cells come from the basale, filaments u the cells that resist tension, keratinocytes have a spiny appearance, c...

CHAPTER 3 NEUROSCIENCE CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the key methods that scientists use to learn about brain anatomy and functioning. • Neuroscientists examine autopsy tissue and patients with localized brain damage to learn about brain anatomy and brain function. • EEGs and neuroimaging, such as PET scans and fMRI, allow scientists to study brain function in the living brain. 2. Describe the two major types of cells in the nervous system and describe the prima...
