Homework for Dr. Gremski's Section
Friday, March 2: Go through this tutorial to learn about how a neuron sends signals and prepare for Ben's presentation on drug addiction.
Answer the following questions upon viewing:
1. How does a nerve impulse travel from one nerve to the next? (just the general idea... don't worry about all the ions that the animation shows)
2. Do all signals stimulate/excite a neuron?
3.How is the signal duration kept short?
