ch 13 Flashcards
neurobiology, it includes
study of nervous system
sensory perception, integration, and motor planning
central nervous system
brain and spine
peripheral nervous system
move other shit like motor and sensory (senses and movement)
Nerve cell
neuron
nerve cell properties
excitabile- respond to stimuli
conductive- send signals
secretion- release chemical messengers
afferent neurons
sensory
sensation
interneuron
connected to the central nervous system
motor neuron (efferent)
conduct signals to move
nuerosoma
cell body
neruofibrils
cytoskeletal network in neuron
nissl bodies
cluster of RER
dark stained
dendrites
multbranached process to detect stimuli
axon
long process that transmits signal to the next cell
axon collateral
branch of axon near the soma
terminal arborization
branching at the distal end of the neruon
synaptic knob
swelling at the end of the axon, stores, neruotrasnmitters
mylien sheath
segmented wrapped around the axon
node of ranvier
gaps in the myelination
internode
myleinatd space bn nodes
axon hillock
mound from the soma leading to the axon
intital segment
unmyelinated begining of the axon
trigger zone
axon hillock and initial segment
large number of voltage gated channels
all or nothing
mulitpolar
multiple dendrites, one axon
bipolar
one dendrite, one axon
unipolar
single process from soma,
signla can bypass soma
anaxonic
multiple dendrites, no axon
