Neuron, Neuroff
What part of the neuron receives signals?
Dendrites
Which glial cell maintains the blood brain barrier?
Astrocytes
What type of neuron connects other neurons in neuronal pools?
Interneurons
A neuron with multiple dendrites and a single axon.
Multipolar
The central nervous system is made up of the
Brain and spinal cord
What part of a neuron transmits action potentials?
Axon
This glial cell has an immune function in the nervous system.
Microglia
Which ion enters the axon during an action potential?
Sodium (Na)
A neuron with one dendrite and one axon.
Bipolar
Areas in the brain of neuronal cell bodies appear
Gray
What is the function of the Axon hillock?
Area that generates action potential to travel down axon.
These cells assist in the making of CSF.
Ependymal cells
The balance of IPSPs and EPSPs is called
summation.
Neuronal fibers that travel from the CNS to the PNS.
Efferent fibers
Myelin is rich in levels of which macronutrient?
Lipids
What fatty layer wraps around the axon?
Myelin sheath
These cells form the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system.
Schwann cells
The benefit of myelin sheath is that it does what to axon transmission?
Increases speed
The process of axon transmission along a myelinated fiber.
Saltatory conduction
The part of the nervous system that acts below conscious awareness.
Autonomic
What structure is found at the end of the axon?
Synaptic bulb
What are the gaps found between areas of myelin sheath along an axon?
Nodes of Ranvier
A more negative resting membrane potential is classified as
Hyperpolarization
Clusters of neuron cell bodies in the PNS.
Ganglia
The method by which neurotransmitters are released from synaptic bulbs.
Exocytosis
