depolarization

action potential

depolarized

neuron will fire when

stimulated

sensory neuron receives stimulation from

environment (eye, rods cones, lightwave)

interneurons, motor neurons receive stimulation from

other neurons

enough stimulation

charge is flipped, act pot begins

dendrites receive info (stimulation)

AP begins

ion pumps

stop working, allows gates to open

Na rushes IN

K goes OUT (and continues until term buttons)

neurotransmitters are in terminal buttons

released to communicated with other neurons
