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
