Neurons, nerve pathways, synapses, neurotransmitters and reflex arcs

What this note covers

1. The nervous system coordinates rapid signalling
2. Sensory, relay and motor neurons have different roles
3. Synapses transmit signals between cells
4. Reflex arcs produce rapid, automatic responses
5. Pathway evidence supports careful localisation
6. Comparing nervous responses in examination sources
7. Using pathway evidence to locate a signalling interruption
8. Connecting synaptic events to changes in response
