Question 4:

,B) A neuron transmits an impulse down its axon with sodium channels
opening, then potassium channels opening to restore the neuron's negative
charge
C) The connection between neurons
D) The release of neurotransmitters
Answer: B - Neuron transmits impulse down axon with sodium and potassium
channel activity
Question 5:
What is the difference between active and passive immunization?
