Understanding Action Potentials and Neuron Function: A Study Guide

This guide explores the concept of action potentials and their role in nerve impulses. It covers neuron anatomy, emphasizing the myelin sheath's importance in saltatory propagation. Activities include reflections on relay games compared to neuron impulses and examining sensory systems in the context of how they activate neurons to transmit messages to the brain. Students will review key topics from their textbook, engage in collaborative study, and prepare presentations to deepen their understanding of neural communication.

  5. Senses • Work with your table to study one of the senses on page 906-909 in the book. • Explain how this sense activates neurons to send messages to your brain. • Formulate your thoughts on SNB p. 8 • Prepare to present these ideas to the class.
