Describe the basic components of the neuron and explain how an action potential develops
What will be an ideal response?
This answer should first describe the four main parts of the neuron (the soma, the
dendrites, the axon, and the terminal buttons) and note that neurons secrete neurotransmitters.
Next, the answer should describe the role of each of these structures in the firing of a neuron. It
should also describe the role of sodium and potassium ions, ion transporters, and ion channels in
an action potential.
