|
Neurolemma |
Delicate outer membrane of the myelin sheath of a myelinated nerve cell |
Myelin |
|
|
Sensory Neurons |
Neurons sending signals to the brain from an effector carrying sensory information. |
|
|
|
Motor Neurons |
Neurons that flow out of the brain sending signals to effectors |
|
|
|
Arachnoid |
Porous membrane that lies in the middle of the pia and dura mater |

|
|
Pia Mater |
Deep, lies against brain |
|
|
|
Dura Mater |
Outer layer, "tough mother" that is hardy and coats or is the shell of the brain |
|
|
|
Efferent nerve |
Nerve impulses going out of the brain, motor Neurons |
|
|
|
Afferent Nerve |
Nerve impulses going to the brain, sensory Neurons |
|
|
|
Interneuron |
Neuron that forms connections with other Neurons and is not sensory nor motor, in spinal cord |
|
|
|
Axon terminal |
End of a neuron where they give the neurotransmitters to the dendrites of another neuron through the synapse |
|
|
|
Hyperpolarization |
Over correcting for depolarization. In the process of repolarization and bringing back to polar resting potential it goes back to the original voltage. |
