Axon, Ax Off
100
These three things protect the spinal cord.
What is the vertebrae, meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid?
100
These flow across the synaptic cleft.
What are neurotransmitters?
100
This portion of the brain has hemispheres.
What is the cerebrum?
100
This system is concerned with the function of the internal organs.
What is the autonomic nervous system?
100
This part of the axon is found completely within the CNS.
What is an interneuron?
200
This is the thin membrane that completely covers the nerve fibers; it regenerates or repairs nerve fibers.
What is the neurilemma sheath?
200
This part of a neuron receives the impulse from the receptors of other neurons.
What is the dendrite?
200
This coordinates voluntary muscles and helps maintain balance.
What is the cerebellum?
200
The type of conduction exhibited by electrical impulses jumping from node to node.
What is salutatory conduction?
200
This conducts impulses away from the cell body.
What is an axon?
300
This is the division of the nervous system that prepares the body for emergencies.
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
300
This is the term for when sodium is pushed out of a cell and potassium is allowed in.
What is recovery?
300
The part of the brain that connects the two hemispheres.
What is the corpus callosum?
300
This type neuron provides thought and memory.
What is associative?
300
This conducts impulses toward the cell body.
What is the dendrite?
400
This type of neuroglial cell has amoeboid movement and engulfs microbes.
What is a microcyte?
400
This is a stimulus that makes the cell membrane permeable to sodium ions and they enter the cell.
What is depolarization?
400
This controls heart rate, breathing, and other reflexes.
What is the brain stem?
400
This nervous system controls dreaming and the processing of information.
What is the central nervous system?
400
These send messages away from the CNS.
What are motor neurons?
500
This is the neuroglial cell that acts as a barrier between the blood and the Central Nervous System.
What is an astrocyte?
500
The unequal distribution of charges between the outside of a cell membrane (negative) and the inside of the cell (positive).
What is to be polarized?
500
This area of the brain controls thought.
What is the cerebrum?
500
This nervous system is responsible for the "fight or flight" response that includes dilating the pupils, skin paling, raising the blood glucose, increasing the heart rate and breathing, and inhibiting digestion.
What is the sympathetic?
500
These send messages toward the CNS.
What are sensory neurons?
