Ganglia are clusters of cell bodies outside the brain or

Spinal cord

Ependymal cells secrete and circulate

CSF

White matter is myelinated

Axons

Grey matter is neuronal cell

Bodies

Cell bodies are also called

Soma

All thinking takes places in the grey matter of the

Cerebrum

White matter does not involve

Thinking

White matter only sends and receives

signals

All the information that the nervous system receives from the outside world and what’s going on in your body is called

Sensation

Receptor cells detect stimulus and send it to the brain or spinal cords on

Afferent neurons

The brain evaluates information from the afferent neurons is called

Intergration

The brain evaluates information from the afferent neurons is called

Intergration

Any conscious experience anything with think about takes place in the brain portion of the

Central nervous system

Integration happens after we process information in the

Brain

When the nervous system sends nerves out to organs or glands of the body

Motor output

Motor output carries information out on

efferent neurons

They process in formation from afferent neurons and send information to efferent neurons

Interneurons

Efferent neurons carry information to an effector which is a

organ or gland

An effector is a structure or organ that changes its activity in some way when it is signaled by

Efferent neuron

Dendrites are the short processes coming off neurons they receive

Information

Axons send

Information

Inside a nerve are groups of

axons

difussion

the axon releases neurotranssimetter it travels acroos the synaptic cleft and lands on another neuron and attaches to a

ION channel

organelles

in the cytoplasm of a neuron cell body there are ribosomes that form clusters called

chromatophilic substances

A chromatophilic substance is chunks of Rough ER with ribosomes all over it referred to as

Nissl bodies

another name for chromatophilic substance is

Neurofibrils

another name for telodendria is:

Axon terminals

telodendria are found at the ends of the

axons

An axon can branch and send a piece of itself to multiple cells the branch is called an

axon collateral

axon collaterals can branch and stimulate

multiple cells

the tip of the axon terminal is the

synaptic knoob

anything the axon needs has to be transported from the cell body to the axon that type of transport is referred to as

anterograde transport

movement of materials from cell body to synaptic end bulbs

anterograde transport

cell body is the site of protein synthesis (Nissl body). Neurotransmitters & repair protein that reside in the cell body and need to be shipped through the axon to the axon terminal and into the synaptic end bulb by

anterograde transport

from synaptic end bulbs to cell body

Retrograde transport

Axonal transport system moves substances produced in

cell body

Slow axonal flow moves at the speed of

1-3mm/day

Slow axonal flow are used For developing or regenerating

axons

Slow axonal flow replenishes

Fast axonal flow Transport transports proteins and organelles in either direction along

microtubules

regenerating axons, growing the axons, maturing the axons are a function of?

slow axonal transports

microtubules inside the axons work with motor proteins that use ATP to push things along the microtubules a lot

faster

any organells that need to be shipped back and fourth between the cell body (neuron) and the synaptic end bulb will use

fast axonal transport
