Neuron Structure
This part of the neuron conducts impulses away from the cell.
What is the axon?
This lobe is primarily responsible for vision.
What is the occipital lobe?
Cranial nerve I.
What is the olfactory nerve?
A collection of nerve fibers in the CNS is called this.
What is a tract?
Main site for protein synthesis
Cell Body
This part of the neuron receives incoming impulses.
What are dendrites?
This lobe is mainly responsible for speech and memory.
What is the temporal lobe?
Cranial nerve X.
What is the vagus nerve?
A collection of nerve fibers in the PNS is called this.
What is a nerve?
Conduct impulses away from the cell
Axons
This structure is also referred to as the soma.
What is the cell body?
This lobe is primarily associated with sensory skills.
What is the parietal lobe?
Cranial nerve III.
What is the oculomotor nerve?
The brachial plexus primarily serves this region of the body.
What is the upper limb?
Many are covered with bumps called spines
Dendrites
These are often insulated by myelin sheaths.
What are axons?
This lobe controls movement and advanced thinking.
What is the frontal lobe?
Cranial nerve VIII.
What is the vestibulocochlear nerve?
he lumbar plexus primarily serves this region.
What is the anterior thigh/lower limb?
Also referred to as soma
Cell Body
This is the most common structural type of neuron.
What is multipolar?
This part of the brain contains about half of the brain’s neurons.
What is the cerebellum?
Cranial nerve XII.
What is the hypoglossal nerve?
This plexus contains the sciatic nerve.
What is the sacral plexus?
Often insulated by myelin sheaths
Axons
