5.1 Neural Coordination Flashcards
What is the function of neural system?
it regulates the various body function
Which embryonic layer is the origin of nervous system?
ectodermal
Which one of the following signal is faster - hormonal/neural ?
neural
What is the neural system composed of?
neural tissue
What is the nervous system composed of?
neuron and glial cell
What are the three major parts of the neuron?
cell body
dendrite
axon
What are the dendrites and the axon together called?
neurites
Which organelle is absent in the cyton ?
centriole
Why does the neuron not divide?
because they dont have centriole
Is the neuron mutlinecleates or uni nucleated?
uni nucleated
What are some very distinct organelle present in the neuron?
nissl’s granules
neurofibrils
What is the other name of nissl’s granules?
tigroid body
What are the nissl’s granules?
they are formed by ER surrounded by clusters of ribosomes
What is teh funciton of nissl’s granules?
they are teh site of protein synthesis
What is the stain used to stain the neurons?
mrthyl blue
Where are the nissl’s granules present?
in the cell body, dendron
but absent in axon
In hwich cells are neurofibrils present ?
in mature neuron
What is the function of neurofibrils ?
they are responsible for internal conduction in the cyton
What is a dendron?
short fibres that branch repeatedly project outwards out of the cell body and also contain nissl’s granules are called dendrites
What is teh functionof the denrites?
they transmit signal to the cyton
What are axon ?
they are the long cytoplasmic process
What is the longest cell process of a neuron called?
axon
