A single neuron within a(n) ______ "listens" to the neurons that synapse with it and combines that input into an output.
A)ion channel
B)neural network
C)synapse channel
D)reflex network

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A single neuron combines the input it receives from other neurons through synapses to create an output. This process occurs within a larger neural network, which consists of multiple interconnected neurons that work together to process information. Option A) "ion channel" is incorrect because ion channels are proteins that allow ions to pass through a cell membrane, but they do not directly contribute to information processing in neurons. Option C) "synapse channel" is not a commonly used term and does not accurately describe the function of a single neuron. Option D) "reflex network" refers specifically to a subset of neural circuits that are involved in reflexive behaviors, but not all neurons or neural circuits are involved in reflexes.
