All About the Neuron
It's the part of the cell that contains all of the organelles.
What is the Cell Body?
This part of the Nervous System consists of the brain and spinal cord.
What is the CNS?
It's the largest part of the brain that gives us our cognitive abilities.
What is the Cerebrum?
It's the definition for Soma.
What is the body of the cell?
These are two types of branches on the neuron, one for receiving stimuli and one for transmitting the message.
What are dendrites and terminal branches?
This part of the Nervous System consists of all the nerve pathways that are outside of the brain and spinal cord.
What is the PNS?
It's the part of the brain that coordinates muscle movements, our balance and posture.
What is the Cerebellum?
It's the definition for Action Potential.
What is the rapid sequence of depolarization and repolarization which takes about one-thousandth of a second.
It covers the axons and speeds up the transmission process.
What is the Myelin Sheath?
These are the types of neurons that pick up the incoming stimuli.
What are the sensory neurons?
The brain stem includes all of these vital parts of the brain.
What are the pons, midbrain and medulla oblongata?
Definition of Synapse.
What is the space between each neuron?
The place where neurotransmitters are released to the next neuron.
What is Synaptic Knobs?
These neurons are found in between the sensory and motor neurons and link the these neurons together.
What are interneurons?
The two vital glands in our brain that help our body produce and regulate neurochemicals.
What are the Hypothalamus and Pituitary Glands?
Definition for Acetylcholine.
What is a neurotransmitter that is released at the ends of the terminal branches and can speed up or slow down reactions.
It's what gray matter is made of and what white matter is made of.
What is cell bodies and myelinated axons?
It's what the target tissue is called,when the motor neuron transmits the message.
What is an effector?
Tasting a hamburger and our rate of breathing is controlled by this part of the brain.
What is the Brain Stem?
Definition for Dopamine.
What is a neurotransmitter found in the brain, essential for normal functioning of the CNS.
