(ex. optic nerve stimulation indicates sight) Divergence the frequency of action potentials in a single neuron and the number of similar neurons firing at the same time. Coordinate their metabolic activities dendrites--> cell body--> axons. The trasmittion of the signal to next cell occurs at the _________ and usually involves a group of chemicals called. __________: describe axon, describe cell body , describe dendrites: Motor neurons: receive instructions from association neurons and activate effectors. Effectors (muscles or glands) : perform the behavior. Synaptic terminals: determine the type of stimulus, signal the intensity of a stimulus, integrate the information from many sources, initiate and direct the response to body parts. Neurotrandmitters: how is the type of stimulus (light, touch, sound) determined, integration of incoming info from sources in the brain is achieved by.
