  body, fuse for a while to form 1 process and divide shortly thereafter into
  axon and dendrite.

  dendrites.

Answer 7

Multipolar Neuron

Question 8

– conduct impulses from the receptor organs to
the CNS.

Answer 8

Sensory or afferent neurons

Question 9

– conduct impulses from the CNS to target
organs.

Answer 9

Motor or efferent neurons

Question 10

• transfer sensory impulses from
  sensory neurons to efferent neurons.

Answer 10

Association neurons or interneurons

Question 11

innervate voluntary muscles and structures w/ epithelia
derived from ectoderm like skin.

Answer 11

Somatic neurons –

Question 12

innervate involuntary muscles and structures derived
from splanchnopleure like blood vessels and visceral organs.

Answer 12

Visceral neurons -

Question 13

is an axon of neuron and its sheath that connects peripheral structures w/
the brain or spinal cord

Answer 13

nerve fiber

Question 14

Majority of the nerves in the PNS end and begin in the spinal cord and are therefore called

Answer 14

spinal nerves.

Question 15

A few (12) end and begin w/ brain and are called

Answer 15

cranial nerves

Question 16

are myelinated nerves segmentally arranged along the spinal cord.

Answer 16

Spinal
nerves

Question 17

The is the pathway for sensory (afferent) nerve fibers and the
ventral root for motor (efferent) nerve fibers.

Answer 17

dorsal root

Question 18

The
unite outside and lateral to the spinal cord to form a spinal nerve

Answer 18

dorsal and ventral roots
