Q

What is Neurilemma?

A

I think covering along the action that is external to the myelin which is present for most regeneration of the axon

Q

Sensory (afferent)

A

Send signals towards the central nervous system it has long dendrites and a short axon

Q

Motor (efferent)

A

Sends signals away from the central nervous system and has short dendrites or the dendrite maybe absent in the action as long

Q

What is the synaptic transmission?

A

A neuron develops in action potential

The action potential triggers the release of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine

The neurotransmitter excites the next sale located on the other side of the synapse

Sorry I’m begins to diffusing to the postsynaptic cell starting the development of its action potential

The neurotransmitter is broken down for transportation away from the synapse

17
Q

What is a receptor?

A

A group of cells that detects a stimulus example during a knee-jerk patellar reflex

18
Q

What is the sensory neuron?

A

Since impulses from one point of the stimulus to the central nervous system also known as CNS

19
Q

Interneuron?

A

The central nervous system that since impulses from one sensory neuron to the motor neuron

20
Q

What is the motor neuron?

A

The neuron that says imposes to the a factor for spinal cord reflexes

21
Q

What are reflexes?

A

An automatic response that depends on the activation of the components of the reflex arc

22
Q

What are the components of the reflex arc?

A

Receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, effector , reflexes
