Lesson 2.3 Tissues (C) Flashcards
Main Parts of a Neurons:
● a.k.a “cell body”
● protection
Soma
Main Parts of a Neurons:
transmits signals away from the cell body.
Axon
Main Parts of a Neurons:
transmits signals to the cell body.
Dendrites
Main Parts of a Neurons:
● around the axons
● allows impulses to transmit quickly
Myelin Sheath
Main Parts of a Neurons:
● “nodes of Ranvier” facilitates rapid conduction of nerve impulses.
Gaps in Myelin Sheath
Main Parts of a Neurons:
● transmission of electrochemicals occur
● allows communication and connection of neurons
Sygrapse
Main Parts of a Neurons:
● transmits electrical and chemical signals to the other neuron cells and affector cells.
Axon Terminals
Cellular Processes of Neurons:
sends signals from body towards CNS
Unipolar - Sensory Neurons
Cellular Processes of Neurons:
sends signals from CNS towards our body.
Multipolar - Motor Neurons
Cellular Processes of Neurons:
interneurons
Bipolar
Parts of the Nervous Tissue (where Idk where it belongs).
supporting cell
Microglial
● location : CNS
● produces myelin sheath
Oligodendrocytes
● location: PNS
● sorround the cell body of a Neurons
● regenerate tissue lifespan
Satellite Cells
● location: PNS
● surround all nerve fibers, produce myelin sheath similar to the oligodendrocytes
Schwann Cells
● location: PNS
● surround all nerve fibers, produce myelin sheath similar to the oligodendrocytes
Schwann Cells
