This question is a SHORT ESSAY. We won’t submit any drawings for this exam, since that has created some technological drama over the past few exams.  So, to demonstrate your understanding of how a neuron works, you will craft a short essay of somewhere between 8-12 complete sentences (just a suggestion).  Make sure to also use proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. In the space provided below, start your story with a multi-polar neuron receiving a chemical signal and briefly describe all the steps it goes through to eventually release its own neurotransmitter. You MUST use at least the following 10 terms or phrases correctly AND NOT SKIP ANY OTHER MAJOR DETAILS in your essay to get full points, so you may want to write them down on a separate piece of paper and check them off as you go.  The terms below are meant only to give you a framework to sculpt your complete essay.  You may also want to organize these terms into a process map before you start that will help guide your essay.  You can certainly mention other important terms and phrases to make sure you tell a complete story.  PLEASE underline these terms as you use them in your essay.
