17
Q

anaxonic neuron

A

no axon, many dendrites; brain, retina, adrenal glands

18
Q

anterograde axon transport

A

soma and synaptic knobs; proteins from soma are transported to axon and axon terminal

19
Q

retrograde axon transport

A

soma and synaptic knobs; returns used synaptic vesicles to the soma

20
Q

neuroglia cells

A

protect neurons and help them function; bind together neurons for nervous tissue;

21
Q

(CNS) oligodendrocytes

A

form myelin sheaths that speed signal conduction

22
Q

(CNS) ependymal cells

A

line central canal of the spinal cord and ventricles of the brain; secrete/circulate CSF

23
Q

(CNS) microglia

A

macrophages, increased on area of injury

24
Q

(CNS) astrocytes

A

blood brain barrier; largest and most numerou

25
(PNS) schwann cells
produce myeline sheath
26
(PNS) satellite cells
function = uncertain
27
myelin sheath
insulating layer around a nerve fiber; oligodendrocytes and schwann cells
28
gaps between myelin segments
nodes of ranvier
29
speed of nerve fibers
1. type A (axons) (large diameter, myelinated, high speed) 2. type B (axons) (medium diameter, myelinated, medium speed) 3. type C (axons) (small diameter, unmyelinated, slow speed)
30
slow signals =
sent to stomach
31
fast signals =
sent to skeletal muscles
32
resting membrane potential
-70 mV (negative charge)
33
continuous propgation
unmyelinated axons; one segment of an axon at a time
34
saltatory propagation
myelinated axons; faster and uses less energy; myelin insulates the axon
35
1st neuron is...
presynaptic neuron; releases neurotransmitter
36
2nd neuron is..
postsynaptic neuron; responds to neurotransmitter
37
acetylcholine
neurotransmitter
38
amino acid neurotransmitter
GABA
39
monoamines
catecholamines
40
neuropeptides
2-40 amino acids
41
excitatory cholinergenic synapse =
ACh
42
excitatory adrengenic synapse =
NE
