Letters
PNS
This color of matter is present with myelinated tissue
White Matter
Signals transmit along this portion of a neuron
Motor Lobe
Frontal
This cranial nerve holds visual information
Excitatory signals that start the depolarization process
EPSP
Does myelination decrease or increase speed of transmission
Increase
Unit to measure electical signal transmitted in the nervous system
mV (millivolt)
Somatic Sensory Lobe
Parietal
True or false, nervous tissue is elastic
False
The brain and spinal cord
CNS
Portion of the neuron where myelination occurs
The amount of mV for RMP
-70mV
Vision Lobe
Occipital
Term for sensory information
Somatic
This post-synaptic potential is inhibitory
IPSP
Cells that are responsible for myelination in the CNS
Oligodendrocytes
Depolarization causes this effect on the nerve
Excitation, activation, electrical impulse, etc
Hearing Lobe
Temporal Lobe
Fluid that the brian and spinal cord are surrounded by.
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
Membrane Potential at rest (no acitivity)
RMP (70mV)
Cells that are responsible for myelination in the PNS
Neurolemmocytes
This type of polarization acts as a buffer to restore resting membrane potential
Hyperpolarization
The balance center
Cerebellum
These chemical substances are secreted at the synapse, function to activate or inhibit nerve activity.
Neurotransmitters
