using analogies and other examples so that he or she can easily comprehend the
information.

of the little brother or sister.

DQ#2/Due Day 4/Main Forum:On p. 72 of the text, in the Thinking Clearly section, the
conduction action potentials and activation of neurotransmitters is related to
a row of mousetraps on a wobbly shelf. Think of another analogy you can use to
describe the conduction of action potentials and activation of
neurotransmitters.
After
posting your response to the second discussion question, review a classmate’s
response.
Post
a message critiquing the classmate’s analogy. Was it effective? Why or why not?
