1
Q

What do Dendites do?

A

Recieve inputs from other neurones and convey graded electrical signals passively to the soma

2
Q

What does the soma of a neurone do?

A

Synthetic and metabolic centre

It contains the nucleus, ribosome, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum

3
Q

What does the Axon hillock and the Initial Segment do?

A

Site of initiation of the “all or none” action potential

4
Q

What does the axon of a neuron do?

A

Conducts output signals as action potentials to other neurones

5
Q

What does the synapse of a neurone do?

A

Point of chemical communication between neurones

A

Input

Integrative

Conductile

Output

11
Q

How are synapses classified

A

Morphologically by the location of the presynaptic terminal upon the postsynaptic cell

12
Q

What are the two classes of function for synapses?

A
