Neuron Anatomy
This part of the neuron is long and slender and carries signals to other cells.
What is the axon?
This part of the nervous system contains the brain and the spinal cord.
What is the central nervous system?
This is the most abundant neuroglia.
What are astrocytes?
The small space between neurons which neurotransmitters are released.
What is a synapse?
The cornea is a part of what sense?
What is sight?
This is also known as the cell body.
What is the soma?
An increase in heartrate is characterized by this part of the autonomic nervous system.
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
These neuroglia secrete CSF.
What are ependymal cells?
The value of the resting potential of a neuron.
What is -60 to -70mV?
Pain receptors are called this.
What are nociceptors?
These structures receive signals from other cells.
What are dendrites?
This part of the nervous system is also known as "rest and digest".
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
These neuroglia develop from monocytes.
What are microglia?
This ion enters the cell to depolarize it.
What are Na+ ions?
These structures send information from the smell receptors to the brain.
The junction between the axon and the soma is called this.
What is the axon hillock?
This part of the nervous system governs voluntary movement.
What is the somatic nervous system?
This neuroglia supplies lactate (converted from glucose) to neurons.
What are astrocytes?
This is the period of which only a very strong stimulus will trigger action potential.
What is relative refractory period?
Salty tastes come from these ions.
What are metal ions?
This is another name from the neuron terminal.
What is a synapse?
This is also called the thoracolumbar nervous system.
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
The function of these neuroglia have the same function in the CNS as Schwann cells do in the PNS.
What are oligodendrocytes?
The receptors on the post synaptic neuron is this kind of ion channel.
Pacinian corpuscles respond to this kind of stimulus.
What is pressure stimulus?
