Action Potential (impulse)
Stimulus produces electrical impulseStimulus produces electrical impulse affects cell membrane of the dendriteaffects cell membrane of the dendrite alters membrane properties of soma alters membrane properties of soma produces massive change in produces massive change in transmembrane transmembrane
potentialpotential sweeps along the length of the axonsweeps along the length of the axon Skips along Nodes of Ranvier in between myelin Skips along Nodes of Ranvier in between myelin to synaptic terminalsto synaptic terminals
Synapse - junction between nerve cells, a very small gap impulse reaches synaptic terminalsimpulse reaches synaptic terminals release of a chemical neurotransmitterrelease of a chemical neurotransmitter AcetylcholineAcetylcholine is the neurotransmitter for muscle is the neurotransmitter for muscle
stimulation, dopamine and serotonin are othersstimulation, dopamine and serotonin are others crosses synapse by diffusion and contacts the crosses synapse by diffusion and contacts the

Curare
a poison used by Native Americansa poison used by Native Americans Curare binds to acetylcholine receptors and Curare binds to acetylcholine receptors and
blocks themblocks them Muscles are paralyzed by being stuck in the Muscles are paralyzed by being stuck in the
relaxed staterelaxed state CholinesteraseCholinesterase is an enzyme which breaks is an enzyme which breaks
down acetylcholine and stops a contractiondown acetylcholine and stops a contraction
Tetanus
A toxin that travels backwards through A toxin that travels backwards through neurons to the spinal cordneurons to the spinal cord
