Biology Flashcards
gather information from receptors (sense) and transmit these impulses to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord)
Sensory Neuron
entirely within the central nervous system. They act as a link between the sensory and motor neurons. They process and integrate incoming sensory information, and relay outgoing motor information.
Interneuron
transmit information from the central nervous system to the muscles, glands, and other organs (effectors).
Motor Neurons
Parts Of Neurons
dendrite, axon, and cell body
In humans, transmission of nerve impulses across a synaptic cleft is carried out by
Neurotransmitter
The central nervous system consists of the
brain and spinal cord
Neurotransmitters are
are signal molecules released at synapses.
The difference in voltage between the inside and outside of a resting cell is called
Resting potential
is a function of the parasympathetic nervous system?
