Neuron anatomy/Types of Cells
A nerve cell is called a
neuron
the part of the brain involved in balance and coordination
cerebellum
Membranes located between bone and soft tissues that protect the brain:
meninges
The ¨fight or flight¨ response is part of the
sympathetic NS
define anatomy
the study of the structure of the human body
This type of synapse uses chemical messengers to send signals
chemical synapse
The part of the brain that regulates visceral functions like breathing and heart rate
brainstem
lobe of the brain involved in vision
occipital lobe
Cranial nerves arise from the:
brain
This body plane divides the body into superior and inferior
transverse
Chemicals released at the end of the neuron are called
neurotransmitters
The three major parts of the brain are the cerebellum, brainstem, and __________
cerebrum
clear liquid surrounding brain and spinal cord
CSF
How many pairs of cranial nerves are there?
12
This feature of bone contains the bone marrow
medullary cavity
Projections from the cell body (soma) that receive information from other neurons
dendrites
lobe of the brain involved in sensory functions like touch and taste
parietal lobe
storage and retrieval of memories
hippocampus
This part of the brainstem is involved in heart rate, respiration, blood pressure
medulla
The transport of substances like charged ions and glucose across a biological membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration with the help of a transport molecule is called
facilitated diffusion
These neuroglial cells are involved in the production of CSF
ependymal cells
lobe of the brain involved in executive functions such as decision making
frontal lobe
storage of memories associated with emotion.
amygdala
what does CTE stand for?
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
What type of membrane is the skin?
cutaneous membrane
