Nervous System

Question 1

Consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves for rapid communication of information.

Answer 1

Nervous System

Question 2

A cell that communicates with other neurons for communication transferring.

Answer 2

Neurons

Question 3

The cells that provide physical support, help maintain homeostasis of the neurons. It also forms the myelin sheath which speeds up the information transferring.

Answer 3

Neuroglia

Question 4

Consists of the brain and spinal cord. The function of these organs is to integrate and process the information and sends a signal for a body response.

Answer 4

Central Nervous System.

Question 5

Carries the information between the central nervous system and the rest of the body. Best examples are sensory neurons (eyes, ears, nose)

Answer 5

Peripheral Nervous System

Question 6

Part of a neuron that contains the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, and other organelles.

Answer 6

Cell body

Question 7

Part of a neuron that are short, branched extensions that transmit information towards the cell body.

Answer 7

Dendrites

Question 8

Single long extension that is finely branched at the tip. It carries the information away from the cell body and into the synapses.

Answer 8

Axon

Question 9

Branched like fibers that attach and deliver the nerve impulses to a tissue or organ.

Answer 9

Synapses

Question 10

Composed of fatty material that coats section of the axon. It speeds up the nerve impulse conduction.

Answer 10

Myelin Sheath

Question 11

Type of neuron that brings the information from the body to the central nervous system. Respond to light, pressure from sound, heat, touch, pain, taste, and odor. Lie in the peripheral nervous system. Its dendrites and cell body reside in the Central Nervous System, but its axon extends up to peripheral nervous system.

Answer 11

Sensory neurons

Question 12

Type of neuron that consists its 90 % content. It recieves information from sensory neurons and processes this information, and generate the messages/responses. Connects sensory neurons and motor neurons.

Answer 12

Interneurons

Question 13

Type of neuron that conducts the message from Central Nervous System towards a muscle. Its dendrites and cell body reside in the Central Nervous System, but its axon extends up to peripheral nervous system.

Answer 13

Motorneuron
