nervous system Flashcards
1
Q
cells used
A
neurons
2
Q
group of cells that provide support
A
neuroglia
3
Q
dendrite
A
receives the message
4
Q
body
A
processes the information
5
Q
axon
A
conducts the signal (if myelin is involved it goes faster)
6
Q
terminal of the axon
A
transmits the information
7
Q
types of neurons
A
sensory
interneuron
motor
8
Q
sensory neurons
A
receives input from the environment
9
Q
interneuron
A
receives information form the sensory and sends it too the motor neuron (found in the central nervous system)
10
Q
motor
A
performs an action
11
Q
what is the synaptic cleft?
A
space between two neurons where synapsis happens
12
Q
gray matter
A
without myelin
13
Q
white matter
A
with myelin
14
Q
- electrical impulse
A
ions get inside and push vesicles with near transmitters
15
Q
- chemical impulse
A
neurotransmitters are released to the synaptic cleft and open the proteins of the post-synaptic neuron
