Discussed the method of depolarization and then Trevor had a series of great questions which led us into the physiology of the nervous system and motor and sensory perception and the brain and comparative sections. We will continue with anesthesia on fri
using diagrams, discuss the difference between sensory and motor neurons as well as their location within the nervous system.
outline the process involved in nerve transmission- the action of neurotransmitters on the cell membrane causing channels to open and the influx of sodium ions resulting in a depolarization.
