1. Describe how a neuron’s structure relates to its overall function. 2. Understand how charge differences between the inside and the outside of a neuron are due to differences in charged ions and their concentrations that dictate its membrane potential. 3. Understand how the membrane potential is maintained at rest, how it changes during an action potential, why, and what proteins and ions are responsible. 4. Illustrate how an action potential travels down an axon, in one direction, and how it resets shortly thereafter. 5. Describe what happens at a neuronal synapse during synaptic transmission of neurotransmitters. 6. Know the role of glial cells and why they are necessary for proper neuron function and maintenance.
