15
What is the brain of a neuron? (circled in red)
Nucleus
15
What houses the nucleus in a neuron? (circled in red)
Soma or cell body
15
What brings impulses to the nucleus? (circled in red)
Dendrites
15
What carries impulses away from the cell body? (circled in red)
Axon
15
What is the lipid (fatty) covering on the axon? (circled in red)
Myelin sheath- speeds up impulses
15
What is name of the periodic gaps on the axon? (circled in red)
Nodes of Ranvier
15
The axon of one neuron lies next to the dendrites of another. What is the name of the space between the two neurons?
Synaptic cleft- gap between two neurons in a synapse
15
How does an impulse travel from one neuron to another?
Chemical neurotransmitters help the impulse travel across the synaptic cleft
15
Which type of neuron carries information to the CNS (brain & spinal cord)?
Sensory or afferent neurons
15
Which type of neuron carries information to the muscles, glands, and organs of the body?
Motor or efferent neurons
15
Which type of neurons are only found in the CNS and enables communication between sensory neurons, motor neurons, and the CNS?
Interneurons
15
What are the functions of neuroglial cells? (3)
Provide nutrient support, maintain homeostasis, and produce myelin sheath
15
What are the 2 divisions of the nervous system and what structures do they include?
Central Nervous System (CNS)- brain & spinal cord; Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)- nerves outside CNS (nerves that reach all parts of the body)
15
What is the mass of nerve tissue encased by the skull?
