Document Summary

Synthesis and storage of neurotransmitter mein synaptic vesicles. Release of neurotransmitter molecules into synaptic cleft. Binding of neurotransmitter at receptor sites on postsynaptic membrane. Inactivation (by enzymes) or removal (drifting away )of neuron. Reuptake of neuro sponged up by the presynaptic neuron. Somatic nervous system nerves (incoming signal) as efferent (outgoing) Carrying informations from the senses to the brain, via sensory neurons afferent. From the central nervous system to the muscles to the glands, referring to motor neurons. Pupils dilated - more light into visual field. Bronchial passages dilated - more air into lungs. Increased respiration - more oxygen into system. Increased heart rate - pump more blood. Houses bundle of axons that communicate from the brain to the peripheral nervous. Contain a cluster of cell bodies that attribute to regulation of: A group of nerve fibers that run through both the hindbrain and the midbrain. Largest and most complex part of our brain.
