Summary
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
