What are the primary types of cells in the nervous system?
Neurons and Glial Cells
What is the significance of membrane potential in neurons?
It is crucial for the generation of action potentials and neurotransmission.
What are post-synaptic potentials?
Changes in the membrane potential of a neuron after receiving a signal
from another neuron.

What is an action potential?
A rapid rise and fall in voltage across a cellular membrane, allowing for the
transmission of signals along neurons.
What is neurotransmission?
The process by which signaling molecules called neurotransmitters are
released by a neuron and bind to receptors on another neuron.
What are the two main types of strokes?
Ischemic Stroke and Hemorrhagic Stroke.
