1. Neurons use both graded and action potentials to carry electrical signals from one point to another. Describe the similarities and differences between these two types of signals that could be seen within an individual neuron. To get full points, you need to provide several comparisons.

Describe in detail the three types of potentials seen in neurons. Describe the three regions of the cerebrum. Compare and contrast the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Describe the passage of information through the nervous system using a specific example. Be sure to include in detail: The collection of stimuli at the sense organ and receptors involved as well as graded potential. The passing of the impulse along ascending pathways. Location in the brain that processes the information. Sending out motor information from brain. The passing of the impulse down descending pathways. Response by a skeletal muscle.

1. Review the process by which action potentials are generated and transmitted along a neuron. 2. Draw an action potential curve and label the following parts and also List the major ion channels which are responsible for the following. Resting potential, Graded potential, Action potential depolarization, Action potential repolarization and, Hyperpolarization
Compare and contrast electrical and chemical synapses.
