Q

Most of the time a cell is involved in normal metabolic function, during growth and development, or tissue repair, cell division is required

A

Cell cycle

22
Q

Development of specialized structures and function within cells

A

Differentiation

23
Q

The…… system is a communicating system that is involved in the coordination of almost all body functions. It is designed to receive signals from the internal and external environment. The signals are then interpreted to determine whether to stimulate or inhibit the activity of organs, tissues, and cells throughout the body.

A

The nervous system

24
Q

One of the main cell type within the nervous system system

A

Neurons

25
Q

The other main cell type in the nervous system. They perform structural support and protective roles by contributing to the blood brain barrier, as well as immune and nutrient provision functions.

A

Glial cells

26
Q

Special gal cells form coatings called

A

Myelin sheath

27
Q

Gaps between myelin sheets, about every millimetre along axon. Allows for ion movement and faster conduction compared to myelinated axons

A

Nodes of Ranveer

28
Q

Generation of action potential in the cell body. Action potential propagation along action. Communication with target cell at synapse.

A

Stages of communication and a neuron

29
Q

A

Action potential

30
Q

Junction where the neuron interacts with another neuron or cell. Conversion of electrical message in action into chemical message sent to next cell.

A

Synapse

31
Q

Collection of tracks leading to, and from the brain
