In this sub-unit of unit 6, we are ging to synthesize and explain the contents such as:

  • Neurons transmit electrical impulses
  • The myelination of nerve fibers allows for saltatory conduction
  • Neurons pump sodium and potassium ions across their membranes to generate a resting potential
  • An action potential consists of depolarization and repolarization of the neuron
  • Nerve impulses are action potentials propagated along the axons of neurons
