Document Summary

Chapter2: structure & function of cells of the. Camillo golgi & santiago ramon y cajal won the nobel prize in 1906 for their work on the structure of the nervous system. Golgi"s development of the golgi stain really launched an aspect of cell biology but particularly neuroscience- has remarkable characteristics: But if you are only staining 1/100 neurons, then you can zoom in and appreciate how cool it looks. When golgi first came out with the stain it was really cemal that used it to draw all the diff. neurons throughout the brain. Together they showed the diversity of cell types within the brain in mammals and humans. Dendrites: are branched, treelike extensions of the soma. They receive info. from other cells and carry it to the soma. Terminal buttons are button-like endings of the axon branch. They release neurotransmitters after receiving an action potential. They connect with another neuron via a synapse.
