Chapter 41.5, Problem 10LO
Summary Introduction
To explain: The term neural integration and also the steps by which a postsynaptic neuron sums incoming stimuli and decides to fire.
Introduction: Nervous system is the part of body system that controls the actions of the body. The body parts interact with each other and to the environment with the help of nervous system.
