cells
The two nervous system cells
what are neurons and glial cells?
controls breathing, regulates reflexes
sets of glands that regulate the body
what is the endocrine system?
two main types of the nervous system
what are the central and peripheral nervous system?
carry information across the synaptic gap to the next neuron
what do neurotransmitters do?
Clusters and fibers that receive messages from other neurons
what are dendrites?
sleep and arousal
what does the pons do?
"master gland"- controls growth and other parts
whats the pituitary gland?
the peripheral nervous systems two parts
what division do the somatic NS and the autonomic NS belong to?
two nervous system pathways
what are afferent and efferent pathways?
carries massages received by the dendrites to other neurons
What are axons?
motor coordination
what does the cerebellum do?
regulated metabolism
what does the thyroid gland do?
adrenaline- fight or flight
what does the sympathetic nervous system do?
parts of the central nervous system
What are the brain and spinal cord?
Provides support and nutrition
What are glial cells?
formation and memory recollection
what is the hippocampus's purpose?
males testes and female ovaries
what are gonads?
your bodies cool-down after fight or flight
what does the parasympathetic nervous system do?
connects sensory and motor neurons, carrying messages between the two.
What do interneurons do?
Surrounds the axon
Myelin sheath
coordination of voluntary movements
what does the Basal Ganglia do?
bodies reaction to stress
What is the adrenal gland?
the autonomic nervous systems two parts.
What division do the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system belong to?
stands for fMRI
functional magnetic resonance imaging
