Basics
The type of neural tissue that nourishes neurons.
What is neuroglia?
The part of the neuron that receives the signal
What is a dendrite?
The normal neuron potential (-70 millivolts).
What is resting potential?
A thin web-like material filled with CSF
What is arachnoid mater?
The type of reflex that happens without the use of the CNS.
What is monosynaptic?
The type of neural tissue that deals with sending and receiving signals.
What are neurons?
Moves a signal through the body
What is the axon?
The potential that creates a movement in a limb.
What is action potential?
The ventricle that makes CSF
What is the lateral ventricle?
The type of reflex that happens when a limb is taken away from a painful stimulus
What is withdrawl?
The general function of the nervous system that deals with combining signals from the peripheral.
What is integration funtion?
What is the cell body?
The number of different neurotransmitters our body uses.
What is more than 30?
The shallow-deep grooves in the cerebrum
What are the sulci?
The complex system that includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, and basal nuclei.
What is the limbic system?
The general function of the nervous system that deals with signals from outside the body.
What is sensory function?
The structural grouping of neurons that only have two processes.
What is bipolar?
The neurotransmitter used only in the CNS
What is the neuropeptide?
The ridges in the cerebrum separated by grooves.
What are gyri?
The main function of the cerebellum.
What is positioning body parts?
The general function of the nervous system that deals with making decisions and acting upon them.
What is motor function?
The structural grouping of neurons which have many dendrites and is found mostly in the brain and spinal cord
What is multipolar?
The level of depolarization that results in an action potential result.
What is threshold potential?
The two parts of the brain that work together to control breathing.
What are the pons and medulla oblongata?
