6.5 IB Standard Level Biology : Neurons and Synapses
In this note sheet including extremely detailed diagrams with labels, there are multiple topics covered in a neat and concise way that helped me get 7's in SL Bio. It details resting potential and action potential with diagrams, providing an explanation of the ion gradient. It includes a word bank in which terms such as axons, myelin sheath, node of Ranvier, saltatory conduction, and Schwann cells are noted). It further outlines the steps of the propagation of nerve impulses, with a diagram of threshold potential.
