Ch 12.1-12.3 Flashcards
Stature located in synapses and forms pre-synaptic membrane
axon terminals
the cellular extension involved with receiving pre-synaptic information
Dendrites
Body of a neuron
Soma
the point of action potential recreation positioned at the start of the axon
axon hillock
length of the neuron under Schwann Cell
Internode
areas of bare axon between Schwann cells (2names)
Node of Ranvier
Branching ends of the axon
terminal arborization
Movement down the axon away from the soma
D. Anterograde Transport
Movement of enzymes and cytoskeletal components down the axon to renew worn-out axoplasmic components
C. Slow Anterograde Transport
Movement of enzymes and small molecules toward the distal end of the axon
E. Fast Anterograde Transport
Returns used synaptic vesicles and other materials to soma
B. Fast Retrograde Transport
Two-way passage of proteins, organelles, and other materials along an axon
