cell body

the axons and the dendrites

It send impulses from the cell body to other neurons or to the muscles.

Axons

It receive nerve impulses from other neurons or directly from some physical source and send them to the cell body.

Dendrites

They are usually short

Dendrites

It can be quite long.

Axons

In areas where there a great many neurons — as in the brain or in bundles of neural connection —they are relatively short and bushy.

both dendrites and axons

In the outer areas of the body, it tend to become longer.

Axon

An axon running from the cortex to the base of the spinal cord may be a long as __.

three feet

It is the axons in the brain and spinal cord that are often covered by a white fatty layers of cells which acts as an insulator and aids the conduction of impulses.

Myelin Sheath

It is a small gatherings in clusters of cell bodies .

Ganglia

Many axons from neurons in the same location of the body tend to travel together as ___ and form __.

Nerve fibers

Nerve tracts

Such tracts always appear as bundles of axons within the brain and spinal cord. Similar bundles of axons called __ connect it to neurons running from within the brain and spinal cord to the outer body areas.

nerve trunks

Types of Neurons

Motor neurons
Interneurons or Association neurons
Sensory or aferrent (incoming) neurons

They relay message from the brain to the muscles or glands. In these neurons, the cell body is located in the spinal cord and the axon is a long enough to reach a neighboring neuron or even as far as the muscle or glad to which it send impulses.

Motor neuron

It is directly responsible for each movement and response we make.

Motor neuron

They are located in the brain and spinal cord.

Interneurons or association neurons

They connect the impulses from the axon fibers of the sensory neuron to the dendrite fibers of the motor neuron.

Interneurons or Association neurons

They also provide nerve impulses with alternative circuits or pathways.

Interneurons or Association neurons

If one circuit is busy or damaged, another path is thus made available.

Interneurons or Association Neurons

It serve only as conductors.

Interneurons

The do not accept sensory stimuli as the sensory neurons do, nor do they stimulate the glands or muscle cells as motor neurons do.

Interneurons or Association neurons

It receive stimuli and carry them to the brain (__) for interpretation (__).

Sensation
Interpretation

Sensory neurons

The cell body of the sensory neuron is located in the __, which lies outside the spinal cord.

nerve root

Sensory neuron

It receive external stimuli through its dendrite fibers and relays the impulses either travel to the brain or pass directly to the motor neurons, which transmit the impulses to the muscles and glands (__).

Sensory neurons

effectors

It result from changes in the thin membrane that covers the nerve cell.

Nerve impulse

It will cause the membrane to become permeable at any given point.

Stimulus

It is a signal transmitted along a nerve fiber.

Nerve impulse

It consists of a wave of electrical depolarization that reverses the potential difference across the nerve cell membranes.

Nerve impulse

It pass along from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of another, as if they are connected, but these nerve endings do not actually touch.

Nerve impulse

Each of the gaps is called __, found between the axon tip of one neuron and the dendrite or the cell body of another neuron.

Synapse

When an impulse arrives at the end of the axon, tiny sacs called ___ release a transmitting substance that crosses the synaptic gap and causes the membrane of the receiving dendrite to react and produce an impulse in the dendrite fiber.

synaptic vesicles

The Central Nervous System is composed of the __ and the __ and the __ consistg of ___or __ found outside the brain and spinal cord.

Brain

Forebrain

The three major structures of of the forebrain

Cerebrum
Thalamus
Hypothalamus.

The main area of the forebrain,

Cerebrum

It governs emotions, learning, thinking, remembering, and sense perception.

Cerebrum

Hypothalamus

It also plays a key role in emotional behavior.

Hypothalamus

Receives impulses from the sensory nerves, provides interneuron connections, transmits impulses to motor nerves.

Brain and Spinal cord
