  1. 1[blank_start]Neural groups[blank_end] are groups in which neurons communicate with each other. Signals [blank_start]within the neuron[blank_end] are transmitted electrically, but signals between neurons are transmitted by [blank_start]synaptic transmission[blank_end]. Each neuron is separated from the next one by a [blank_start]synapse[blank_end], the synaptic [blank_start]cleft[blank_end], the [blank_start]presynaptic[blank_end] terminal and the [blank_start]postsynaptic receptor[blank_end] site. When the electrical impulse reaches the presynaptic terminal it triggers the release of [blank_start]neurotransmitters[blank_end] from the [blank_start]synaptic vesicles[blank_end].
    1. ANeural groups
    2. Bsynaptic cleft
    3. Cwithin the neuron
    4. Dneural group
    5. Esynaptic transmission
    6. Fsynapse
    7. Gsynapse
    8. Hneuron
    9. Icleft
    10. Jsynaptic transmission
    11. Kpresynaptic
    12. Lpostsynaptic
    13. Mpostsynaptic receptor
    14. Npresynaptic
    15. Opostysynaptic
    16. Ppresynaptic receptor
    17. Qneurotransmitters
    18. Rchemicals
    19. Ssynaptic vesicles
    20. Tneurotransmitters
    21. Usynaptic cleft
  2. 2A neurotransmitter is [blank_start]a chemical[blank_end] that [blank_start]diffuses across the synapse[blank_end] to the [blank_start]next neuron in the chain[blank_end]
    1. Aa chemical
    2. Bdiffuses across the synapse
    3. Cnext neuron in the chain
  3. 3The [blank_start]neurotransmitter[blank_end] crosses the gap and is taken up by the [blank_start]postsynaptic receptor sites[blank_end], the chemical message is then converted back into an [blank_start]electrical impulse[blank_end] and the process of [blank_start]transmission[blank_end] begins again. Each [blank_start]neurotransmitter[blank_end] has its own specific [blank_start]molecular structure[blank_end] that fits into a [blank_start]postsynaptic receptor site[blank_end].
    1. Aneurotransmitter
    2. Bpostsynaptic receptor sites
    3. Celectrical impulse
    4. Dtransmission
    5. Eneurotransmitter
    6. Fmolecular structure
    7. Gpostsynaptic receptor site
  4. 4Summation is the process by which it is decided whether [blank_start]a postsynaptic neuron fire[blank_end]
    1. Aa postsynaptic neuron fires
  5. 5The [blank_start]excitatory and inhibitory[blank_end] influences are [blank_start]summed[blank_end] and if the net effect on the [blank_start]postsynaptic neuron[blank_end] is inhibitory then it is [blank_start]less[blank_end] likely to fire, but if the net effect is exhibitory it is [blank_start]more[blank_end] likely to fire
    1. Aexcitatory and inhibitory
    2. Bsummed
    3. Cpostsynaptic neuron
    4. Dless
    5. Emore
  6. 6Serotonin causes [blank_start]inhibition[blank_end] in neighbouring [blank_start]neurons[blank_end], meaning the neuron becomes more [blank_start]negatively charged[blank_end] and [blank_start]less[blank_end] likely to fire
    1. Ainhibition
    2. Bneurons
    3. Cnegatively charged
    4. Dless
  7. 7Adrenaline causes [blank_start]excitation[blank_end] of the [blank_start]postsynaptic neuron[blank_end] by increasing its [blank_start]positive charge[blank_end] and making it [blank_start]more[blank_end] likely to fire
    1. Aexcitation
    2. Bpostsynaptic neuron
    3. Cpositive charge
    4. Dmore
