Nervous System
Typically follows the path of:
Sensory input -> Integration (information is processed) -> action (if needed)
What’s the Nervous System?
This cell performs similar jobs as the astrocyte.
What is a satellite cell?
The two parts make up the CNS.
What are the brain and spinal cord?
The part that receives input.
Powerhouse of the cell.
What’s the mitochondria?
Excitable cells that transmit electrical signals.
What is a Neuron?
Each individual cell wraps itself around a segment of the axon.
What is a Schwaan cell?
A star shape cell that performs many functions, such as creating the blood-brain barrier, regulating the composition of the interstitial fluid, and much more.
What is an Astrocyte?
The part of the neuron that may be mylenated.
What is an axon?
The monomers of a sugar.
What’s a monosaccharide?
Support cells that have various functions.
What are Neuroglia?
Myelinates the axons, only in the CNS.
What are Oligodendocytes?
The region that secretes neurotransmitters.
What is the terminal region?
Major component of the cell membrane.
What is a phospholipid?
These are the two parts of the nervous system.
What are the CNS and PNS?
A type of neuron mostly found in the PNS.
What is a unipolar cell?
A white blood cell designed for the CNS. Is a phagocyte.
What is a microglia cell?
Progressive demyelination in the CNS. An autoimmune disorder in which the mylenating cells in the CNS are attacked.
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Monomer of a nucleic acid.
What is a nucleotide?
The bundles of neuron processes.
What are Nerves?
This cell lines the ventricles and produces cerebrospinal fluid.
What are Ependybag cells?
Loss of myelin in the PNS. A disorder.
What is Guillaume-Barre syndrome?
