Label that neuron
This is found at the center of the cell body, and its job is to control the cell with all of its normal functioning.
What is the nucleus?
The part of the CNS that does not process information during a reflex.
What is the brain?
The space between one neuron and another neuron.
What is a synapse/synaptic cleft?
This division is also known as the "fight or flight" division.
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
The two ions that move into and out of the neuron during an action potential.
What are sodium and potassium?
These extensions pick up sensory information from a stimulus.
What are dendrites?
Interneurons in this part of the nervous system connect sensory and motor neurons during a reflex.
What is the spinal cord?
A neurotransmitter that is released by neurons during voluntary muscle movements.
What is acetylcholine?
This division includes the brain and spinal cord.
What is the central nervous system?
This is the charge of the inside of the neuron at rest.
What is negative?
These release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft between the next neuron or an effector.
Based on our lab, the Achilles reflex performs this action when the tendon is stimulated.
What is plantar flexion?
One of two neurotransmitters that is released through the sympathetic nervous system.
What is epinephrine or norepinephrine?
This division is split into afferent and efferent divisions.
What is the peripheral nervous system?
As the actional potential propagates through the neuron, the inside of the cell has this charge
What is positive?
The parts of the axon that are not the Nodes of Ranvier are covered in this.
What is myelin sheath?
A reflex that takes over skeletal muscle is called this type of reflex.
What is a somatic reflex?
The muscle or gland that gets stimulated by neurotransmitters.
What is an effector?
This division sends information to the CNS.
What is the sensory division?
Action potentials propagate through this part of the neuron
What is the axon?
These neuroglial cells produce the coverings around axons in order to speed up the rate of a nerve impulse.
What are Schwann cells?
When light hits your pupil and it constricts, it is this type of reflex.
What is an autonomic reflex?
What is a sensory neuron, interneuron, and motor neuron?
This division releases acetylcholine to skeletal muscles.
What is the somatic division?
The name of the process when a stimulus triggers Na+ ions to move into the cell.
What is depolarization?
