Neuro 1 Flashcards
Cells that produce myelin
Schwann
Neuron branches that receive impulses
Dendrites
____ Dendrites give off signals across a synapse (the end of the neuron)
Terminal
Largest part of the brain that is divided into lobes
cerebrum
Lobe on top of brain involved with sensation and movement
Parietal
Cells of nervous system that provide structure and support
Glia
Lobe involved with vision
Occipital
The part of the brain that controls involuntary functions such as breathing and heartbeat
Brainstem
Responsible for balance and coordination
Cerebellum
Space between neuron
Synapse
Longest part of the neuron that carries electrical impulses from one end to the other
Axon
Nerve cord that extends downward from brainstem to the lower parts of the body
Spinalcord
Brain cell involved with sending signals and conducting impulses
Neuron
Chemical messengers that travel across synapses to the next neuron
Neurotransmitters
Lobe associated with higher lvl thinking and higher emotions
Frontal
Part of the brain involved with anger and aggresion
Amygladia
Lobe that is involved with hearing and language
Temporal
Main part of the neuron that contains the nucleus
Cellbody
Gland at base of brain that produced hormones such as human growth hormome
Pituitary
Fatty material that covers and protects axon of neuron
Myelin
