•OBJECTIVE:
Students will describe and explain the structure and function of a synapse and
record the information in their note books.

•WARM-UP
1.Write
a paragraph explaining how an action potential is generated and propagated.
2.What
is a refractory period in a neuron?
Classwork
•Review
with Q & A on the generation of an action potential
•Complete
the handout on the voltage diagram of an action potential.
•Notes
on a synapse
Follow-up questions
1.Describe
the position (open or close) of both sodium and potassium channels during the
following phases of the generation of an action potential: resting state,
depolarization, repolarization.
2.Action
potential are classified as all or nothing in its generation. Explain what this
