Nervous System
Parts of the Central nervous system
Brain, Spinal cord
Functions of Dendrites
receive many signals from other neurons and contain specialized proteins that receive, process, and transfer these to the cell body
Growth Mindsets
people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work
Functions of Interneurons
Connects sensory and motor neurons
Functions of Brain
It controls every process that regulates our body, and we act in different situations. Also controls voluntary movements and involuntary movements
Functions of Axon
carry electrical impulses that are the means of communication within the brain and between the brain and the rest of the body
Fixed Mindsets
believe individual traits cannot change
Functions of Peripheral Nervous System
relaying information between the body and the brain
Functions of the Spinal Cord
Carries signals back and forth between the brain and the peripheral nerves
Functions of Synapse
connect neurons and help transmit information from one neuron to the next
Functions of Somatic
allows you to move and control muscles throughout your body
How does the brain keep you safe?
It tells you how to react to different situations
Functions of Peripheral Nervous System
controls voluntary and involuntary movements
Functions of Myelin Sheath
allows electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells
Functions of Parasympathetic
(Rest and digest)
regulates "rest and digest" functions
Functions of Sensory Neurons
Sends information from sensory receptors in the central nervous system
Functions of Autonomic
Controls internal nervous system
Functions of Interneurons
neurons that connect brain to regions
Functions of Sympathetic
(Flight or Flight)
controls "fight-or-flight" responses
Functions of Motor Neurons
Sends information to muscles and glands
