Neurons 1
These neurons are activated by sensory input from the environment.
What is a sensory neuron
These neurons connect the spine to skeletal and muscular tissue and allow us to directly control our movement.
What is a motor neuron
This region of the brain is responsible for vision.
This region of the brain is responsible for hearing
What is the temporal lobe
This region of the brain is responsible for reasoning
What is the frontal lobe
These neurons connect sensory and motor neurons to form complex networks
What is a interneuron
The endings of axons; the location where axons make contact with other nerve or effector cells.
What are axon terminals
This region of the brain is responsible for taste
What is the parietal lobe
This region of the brain is responsible for bodily sensations
What is the sensory cortex
This region of the brain is responsible for movement
What is the motor cortex
A long nerve cell process that usually conducts impulses away from the cell body.
What is a axon
A substance (as norepinephrine or acetylcholine) that transmits nerve impulses across a synapse.
What is a neurotransmitter
This region of the brain is responsible for muscle coordination
What is the cerebellum
This region of the brain is responsible for long term memory
What is the hippocampus
This region of the brain is responsible for smell
The place at which a nervous impulse passes from one neuron to another.
What is the synapse
Any of the usually branching protoplasmic processes that conduct impulses toward the body of a neuron.
What is a dendrite
This region of the brain is responsible for regulating breathing
What is the brain stem
This region of the brain is responsible for speech production
What is Broca's area
This region of the brain is responsible for language understanding
What is Wernicke's Area
In a neuron, an insulating coat of cell membrane from Schwann cells
What is myelin sheath
The gap in the myelin sheath of nerve cells
What is nodes of Ranvier
This region of the brain is responsible for regulating blood pressure
This region of the brain is responsible for thirst and hunger
What is the hypothalamus
This region of the brain is responsible for happiness
What is the amygdala
