Neural Transmission IB Standard Level Biology
Outlines the way in which an electrical signal is propagated in the post synaptic neuron (a 10 step process with detail). Includes MUST KNOW summaries to describe the synapse process. It details acetylcholine and its function in the synaptic cleft. It briefly touches on the process of modulating, which controls the intensity and duration of signals. Includes a small annotated diagram to visualize the synapse.
