Nerves extend from the brain and spinal cord, this serves as a communication line among sensory organs.
What is Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)?
This is the command center of the body, it interprets sensory input and issues motor commands.
What is the central nervous system (CNS)?
A cell body has to remain intact for this to happen, but it cannot happen in the CNS.
What is nerve regeneration?
This is a structure of a neuron. It sends action potentials.
What is Axon?
This is a sensory input that gathers information. It monitors change occurring inside and outside the body.
What is perception?
This receives signals from other neurons and makes decisions about the response.
What is interneurons?
This surrounds and supports neuron cell bodies. It has a similar function to the astrocytes in the CNS.
What is satellite cells?
This prevents the electrical charge from leaking across the membrane. Degeneration of this causes multiple sclerosis.
What is Myelin?
The visceral nervous division (autonomic nervous system) functions this way.
What is involuntary?
This is a neuroglial cell that is found in the CNS, it wraps around nerve fibers and produces myelin sheaths.
What is oligodendrocytes?
These are supportive cells that make up about half of all neural tissue. There are four in the CNS and two in the PNS.
What is neuroglial cells?
The somatic nervous division functions this way.
What is voluntary?
In the structure of a neuron this is the control center, it involves the mitochondria and free ribosomes.
What is neurosoma?
This is a function of the nervous system. It processes and interprets sensory input and decides whether an action is needed.
What is integration?
This is a function in the nervous system. It responds to integrated stimuli and activates muscles or glands.
What is motor output?
This carries information from the skin, skeletal muscles, and joints.
What is somatic sensory division?
This is the structure of a neuron that receives signals.
What is dendrites?
This will carry information from organs like the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, intestines, pancreas, kidneys, and reproductive organs to the CNS.
What is visceral sensory division?
This covers every axon in the PNS. The surface is the neurilemma, and it produces myelin.
What is Schwann cells?
This is the meeting point of a neuron and other cell. There is a chemical and electrical one.
What is synapses?
