18
Q

Dendrites

A

carries impulses towards the cell body

19
Q

Cell Body

A

recieves input from dendrites and relays it to the axons

cite of cells metabolism

20
Q

Axons

A

carry impulses away from the cell body

21
Q

Myelin Sheath

A

speeds nerve impulse transmissions, helps protects the neutrons, and prevents the loss of Na+ and K+ ions from the nerve cell

22
Q

Node of Ranvier

A

the impulse jumps from one node to the other

23
Q

Axon Terminals

A

communicate with other neutrons through releasing neurotransmitters to receptors of other neutrons

24
Q

Pathway of the nerve Impulse

A 
sensory receptor
sensory neuron
interneuron
motor neuron
effector
25
Q

Sensory Neurons

A

carry impulses from the sensory receptor to the CNS

connection btw two neutrons

29
Q

Synaptic Cleft

space btw the axon end of one neutron and the dendrite of another

30
Q

Pre synaptic cleft

A

the membrane the impulse travels to before the synapse

at the axon end

31
Q

Post synaptic cleft

A

the membrane the impulse is travelling to across the synapse at the other neutrons dendrite

32

neuron pathway for reflex actions

stimulus, sensory receptor, spinal cord/interneurons, effectors

39
Q

Somatic system

A

voluntary control (skeletal muscles)

40
Q

Automatic system

A

involuntary control (hypothalamus and medulla oblongata) detects and maintains homeostasis

divided into two parts sympathetic ns and parasympathetic ns

41
Q

Sympathetic NS

A

A

rest and digest response
