Nervouse System Flashcards
How does the nervous system work?
Messages transmit to neurons via electrical impulses sent from pheriferal parts of the body internal CNS resulting in a reaction flex arc.
How does nervous system work?
Messages rains it to neurons via electrical impulses sent from pheriferal parts of the internal CNS resulting in reaction reflex arc.
3 types of neurons:
-sensory
-relay
-motor
How do neurons comunitcate?
Synaptic gaps
What is the location of the glial cells?
-cns
-surrounding neurons
What is the function of glial cells?
-support neurons
-support nutrition of neurons
-provide nerve fibres in cns with cytoplasmic products
What is myelinated?
Insulating material on neuron cells in cns
What is unmyelinated?
Heat or cold detection and mechanical movement
