Chapter 16  

NERVOUS SYSTEM AND MUSCLES

Ohh I love this chapter - How an impulse is generated and transmitted along a neurone and how the "message" is transmitted across a synsape.

We start this chapter looking at resting and action potentials and then transmission of a neurotransmitter across a synapse. This links to muscle structure and contraction. This is a huge chapter with a lot of new language and concepts, so keep up with the self quizzing.
