Nervous and Endocrine System Flashcards
– where nucleus
and other organelles are
located
cell body
includes dendrite and
axons
protoplasmic processes
conduct
nerve impulses
TOWARD the cell
body
dendrite
conduct
nerve impulses
AWAY from the cell
body
axon
axon is covered by
tightly
packed
____
cells
containing
___ as
insulator
schwann cells
myelin
3 different neurons as to number of protoplasmic processes
unipolar neuron
bipolar neuron
multipolar neuron
1 protoplasmic processes
unipolar neuron
2 protoplasmic processes
bipolar neuron
several dendrites and one axon
multipolar neuron
kind of neuron located on the dorsal root ganglion of the spinal cord
unipolar neuron
kind of neuron located on the retina of the eye
bipolar neuron
what kind of neuron is located on the ventral horns of the
gray matter of the
spinal cord
multipolar neuron
types of neuron as to functions
sensory
motor
associative/adjustor
transmit impulses from sensory receptors
of the sense organ to nerve
center (CNS
sensory neuron
transmit impulses
from the nerve center to the
effectors (muscles or glands)
motor neuron
connects sensory and motor
neurons; located in nerve center,
also called interneuron
adjustor or associative neurons
– composed of actively
dividing cells supporting the neurons
of the nervous system
neuroglia
neuroglia that connect neurons and capillaries
astrocytes
dispose dead cells,
bacteria, etc
microglia
– line the fluid-filled
cavities of CNS for protection
ependymal cells
– form the
myelin sheath around the fibers
oligodendrocytes
a type of glial cell
that surrounds neurons, keeping
them alive and sometimes
covering them with a myelin
sheath
schwan cells
situated between
the external lamina and
sarcolemma.
are precursors to skeletal muscle
cells and are responsible for the
ability of muscle tissue to
regenerate
satellite cells
maintain blood barrier, controlling levels of neurotransmitter around synapses
regulate ion and providing metabolic support
astrocytes
