Synapses 
  • Gap between 2 neurons
  • When an impulse reaches the end of the axon it produces  a chemical: neurotransmitters
  • Diffuses across the gap and binds receptors of in the membrane of the next neuron
  • It starts off a impulse in the next neuron
  • One end can make it so impulses travel in one direction!
Impulse
Impulse

Slide 5 - Slide

Synapses 
2 other functions:
  • Resistor: enough impulses are needed to start an impulse at the next neuron. 
  • Junction box: a neuron can pass an impulse to a number of neurons

Drugs affect synapses
  • Alchohol (slows reactions down)

Reflex arcs
  • You take away your hand from an hot object very fast
    Automatically, why? 

  • Reflexes protect you 
  • Why do you think a reflex is unconscious? 

  • Signal does not go to the brain immediately
  • It goes to the spinal cord and back (short circuit)

Reflex arcs

Stimulus? 
Receptor? 
Effector? 
Response? 

Slide 9 - Slide

Reflex arcs
Stimulus = hot flame 
Receptor = heat sensor in the skin 
Effector = muscles in your arm
Response = moving your hand away from the hot object.
