Glial Cells
These are the other two terms used to refer to Glial Cells
What are supporting cells and neuroglia?
This is the part of the nervous system whose nerves extend from the spinal cord and give signals to all other parts of the body.
What is the Peripheral Nervous System?
This is the main differences in neurons compared to other cells in the body, which leads to its amitotic nature
Lack of centrioles.
This is what you call the simple receptors found in the skin?
What are cutaneous sense organs?
The resting stage of the nerve fiber is in this state, meaning there are two areas of opposite charges
What is polarized?
This is the glial cell used to generate myelin in the PNS
What are Schwaan Cells?
The Central Nervous System is comprised of these two anatomical structures
What are the brain and spinal cord?
These extend from the cell body and reach other neurons. They can be microscopic, or up to 3 feet long.
What are the processes of the neuron?
Proprioceptors are nerves found in the ____ and ____
What are muscles and tendons?
This is the ion that is predominantly outside of the nerve fiber, giving the extracellular matrix its positive charge
What is sodium?
Microglia is a kind of this cell, whose purpose is to envelop and destroy bacteria.
What is a phagocyte?
This is the part of the motor division of the nervous system responsible for controlling involuntary movements, like heartbeat and glands.
What is autonomic?
These generate the signal way from the cell body towards another neuron/target cell.
What are the axons?
These are the parts of the sensory neurons that pick up stimuli and relay the message to the CNS
What are dendrites?
This is the term used to describe the how to action potential travels like a wave through the nerve fiber.
What is propogation?
These cells are vital to the protection of nerve cells from toxins, they also aide in the repolarization of a cell after an impulse has been sent.
What are astrocytes?
These are the 6 ways the body intakes a stimuli
what are sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, and equilibrium?
What are dendrites?
These carry impulses from the CNS to the viscera
What are motor neurons?
This is what causes the initial depolarization of a local area of a nerve fiber
What is a stimulus?
Name 4 out of the 6 kinds of supporting cells
Microglia, Astrocytes, Satellite Cells, Schwann Cells, Oligodendrocytes, Ependymal Cells
These are the two parts of the autonomic system, which act as a feedback loop to regulate the body.
What are the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?
The axon terminal releases these chemicals which send signals between either target cells or another neuron.
What are neurotransmitters?
These act as the middle man between the other neuron classes
What are interneurons?
This is the system that transfers the ions used during the nerve impulse
What is the sodium-potassium pump?
