6.5.U1 Neurons transmit electrical impulses. [The details of structure of different types of neuron are not needed.]
6.5.U2 The myelination of nerve fibres allows for saltatory conduction.
6.5.U3 Neurons pump sodium and potassium ions across their membranes to generate a resting potential.
6.5.U4 An action potential consists of depolarization and repolarization of the neuron.
6.5.U5 Nerve impulses are action potentials propagated along the axons of neurons.
6.5.U6Propagation of nerve impulses is the result of local currents that cause each successive part of the axon to reach the threshold potential.
6.5.U7 Synapses are junctions between neurons and between neurons and receptor or effector cells. [Only chemical synapses are required, not electrical, and they can simply be referred to as synapses.]
6.5.U8 When presynaptic neurons are depolarized they release a neurotransmitter into the synapse.
6.5.U9 A nerve impulse is only initiated if the threshold potential is reached.
6.5.A1 Secretion and reabsorption of acetylcholine by neurons at synapses.
6.5.A2 Blocking of synaptic transmission at cholinergic synapses in insects by binding of neonicotinoid pesticides to acetylcholine receptors.
6.5.S1 Analysis of oscilloscope traces showing resting potentials and action potentials.
