Synapse function prompt:
You are talking with your 10 year old nephew who is very excitedto tell you that he learned in science class that the nervoussystem is like a series of electrical wires that run throughout thebody. With your newfound experience in physiology you know that’snot quite true, and that there are gaps (synapses) between neurons,meaning information in the nervous system is not just transmittedvia action potential. Describe to your nephew how information ispassed from the pre-synaptic to post-synaptic neuron in order toallow information flow throughout the nervous system.
