A short stretch of RNA with a free 3' end, bound by complementary base pairing to the template strand, that is elongated with DNA nucleotides during DNA replication.
Two general types of cells are found in the nervous system: neurons and neuroglia. A. Neurons 1. Consist of three main partsâdendrites (conduct impulses to cell body of neuron); cell body of neuron; and axon (conducts impulses away from cell body of neuron) 2.he nervous system transmits information rapidly by means of nerve impulses conducted from one body area to another. The nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord, and the many nerves of the body.
Postsynaptic neurons conduct electrical signals away from a synapse. However, the same neuron in a chain of interconnected neurons can be a postsynaptic neuron to one group of neurons and a presynaptic neuron to another group of neurons.) A nerve impulse reaches the axon terminal of a presynaptic neuron; the membrane is depolarised by an action potential. 2) Depolarisation of the axon terminal during the action potential causes voltage sensitive calcium ion channels to open in the terminal knob.
