Nervous Tissue Flashcards
2 types of cell in nervous tissue
Neuron
Neuroglia (glial cells)
Membrane in the neurons
Neurolemma
Major cells in nervous tissue and it transmit impulses
Neurons
Minor cells in nervous tissue and it is a supporting cells
Neuroglia (glial cells)
3 parts of neuron
Soma/perikaryon
Dendrite
Axon
It is the body of neuron
Soma/perikaryon
It is the branching organization of neuron.
Dendrites
It is the nerve fibers of neurons
Axon
Single, relatively large, and centrally located Nucleus with a prominent nucleolus.
Neuron Cell Body (Perikaryon)
The rough endoplasmic reticulum in neuron cell body
Nissl bodies or Nissl substance
Organizes the cytoplasm into different regions in the neuron cell body
Neurofilament/neurofibrils
Short, numerous elongated proccesses
Dendrites
Receive input from other neurons’ axon and from the environment at unique sites
Dendrites
Communication of dendrites and axon
Synapses
Single long process ending at synapses that transmits a nerve impulse away from the cell body toward another cell
Axon/Nerve fibers
Usually arises from a cone shaped area of the neuron cell body called axon hilock
Axon/nerve fibers
Cone shaped area pf the neuron cell body
Axon hillock
Classification of neurons according to function
Sensory neurons
Motor neurons
Interneurons
Where do sensory neurons and motor neurons located?
PNS
Where does interneurons located?
CNS
Classification of neurons according to structure
Unipolar neurons
Bipolar neurons
Multipolar neurons
Anaxonic neurons
Other term for unipolar neuron
Pseudopolar neuron
