Topics of this game:
- the 'quiet' state of the neuron that happens when ions are being pushed/pulled by electrical and concentration forces that impact them
- a brief and extreme electrical change that occurs when certain protein channels are active, generated by voltage-gated channels
- the communicative event that occurs when an upstream neuron sends a chemical signal to a downstream cell that turns it into an electrical event.
- The main part of a neuron is the cell body
- highly branched processes, providing locations for other neurons to communicate with the soma
- receive information from other neurons at specialized areas of contact
- this opens because a signaling molecule, a ligand, binds to the extracellular region of the channel
- this opens because of a physical distortion of the cell membrane
- this responds to changes in the electrical properties of the membrane in which it is embedded
- a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell compared to the outside
- the membrane potential begins to move back toward its resting voltage
- a change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative
