Specialized sensory receptors located at the point where skeletal muscle fibers insert into the tendons of skeletal muscle. Activation of this receptor will cause the muscle to relax preventing stress and/or injury. GTO
What is the Golgi tendon organ?
100
These neurons transmit nerve impulses from one neuron to another.
What are interneurons?
100
These run parallel to the muscle fibers and are sensitive to change. They report to the central nervous system via sensory neurons any change in length as they stretch with the muscle fiber too.
What are muscle spindles?
200
The part of the neuron that provides communication from the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body.
What is the axon?
200
The ability of the nervous system to analyze and interpret the sensory information to allow for proper decision making, which produces an appropriate response.
What is an integrative function?
200
These receptors act to signal extreme JOINT positions and thus help to prevent injury.
What are joint receptors?
200
This part of the nervous system contains nerves and connects the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.
What is the peripheral nervous system?
300
Label the components of the neuron below. 
300
The autonomic nervous system is divided into these two nervous systems.
What is the sympathetic and parasympathetic?
300
This part of the nervous system is composed of the brain and spinal cord.
What is the central nervous system?
300
These neurons transmit nerve impulses FROM the brain and spinal cord TO the effector sites like muscles or glands.
What are motor (efferent) neurons?
300
Located in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules, these specialized receptors respond to mechanical pressure within tissue like touch, and transmit signals through sensory nerves allowing us to feel and hear detect motion of the body.
What are mechanoreceptors?
400
These gather information from other structures and transmit it back into the neuron.
What are dendrites?
400
This conglomeration of billions of cells is specifically designed to provide a communication network within the human body.
What is the nervous system?
400
These neurons transmit nerve impulses from one neuron to another.
What are interneurons?
400
These are the 3 primary functions of the nervous system.
What is sensory, integrative, and motor function?
400
These are the two main interdependent divisions of the nervous system.
What is the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system?
500
The nervous AND muscular systems response to the sensory information, like causing a muscle to contract when stretched to far is called this.
What is a motor function?
500
These neurons respond to touch, sound, light, and other stimuli and transmit nerve impulses from effector sites to the brain and spinal cord.
What are sensory (afferent) neurons?
500
The ability of the nervous system to sense changes in either the internal or external environment.
What is sensory function?
500
Electrical impulses, also known as this are transported from the central nervous system down the axon of the neuron. When the impulse reaches the axon terminal, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released that act as chemical messengers that cross the synapse between the neuron and muscle fiber, getting the impulse from the nerve to muscle.
What is an action potential?
600
A person touches something hot. good job guy
The ____neuron sends a signal from hand to brain saying this a hot object.
The signal makes it's way to the brain one neuron at a time via the _____.
The brain interprets, sends out signals down the arm and hand via _____ neurons. The signals tell the muscles in the hand and arm to abort.
What is sensory, interneurons, and motor?
600
The sensory input to the central nervous system that deals with sensing body position and limb movement.
What is proprioception?
600
Label the missing parts of the nervous system structure.
