sensory neurons have long dendrites, while motor true
neurons have long axons



Enkephalins and endorphins are peptides that act like true
morphine.

,A stimulus traveling toward a synapse appears to open true
calcium ion channels at the presynaptic end, which in
turn promotes fusion of synaptic vesicles to the axonal
membrane.


Saltatory conduction occurs because of the presence of false, signal jumping from node to node along the axon
salt around the neuron

pool and that are not easily excited by and incoming
stimulus are in the discharge zone


Acetylcholine is not a biogenic amine true




A synapse formed between the axon ending of one true
neuron and the cell body of another neuron is called an
axosomatic synapse.


Voltage is always measured between two points and true
may be called the potential between these two points.
