Neuron Test

These carry signals from tissues and organs to the brain and spinal cord

• Sensory Neurons
• Motor Neurons
• Efferent Neurons
• Glial Cells

These connect Sensory and Motor Neurons to each other and are located in the brain and spinal cord

• Sensory Neurons
• Motor Neurons
• Interneurons
• Afferent Neurons

These receive messages and conduct impulses to the Cell Body

• Axon
• End Bulbs
• Dendrites
• Myelin Sheath

This is a fatty layer that prevents interference and increases the speed of impulses going down the axon

• Dendrites
• Nodes of Ranvier
• Myelin Sheath
• End Bulbs

These store and release neurotransmitters into the synapse

• Dendrites
• Axon
• Axon Terminals
• Nodes of Ranvier

This is the gap or space between two neurons

• Dendrites
• Cell Body
• Synapse
• Axon

This is the electrical charge that travels down an axon when a neuron is firing

• Resting Potential
• Action Potential
• Threshold
• Refractory Period

These are chemicals that are used for communication

• Neurotransmitters
• Dendrites
• Synaptic Vesicles
• Axon Terminals

This is composed of Sensory and Motor Neurons everywhere in the body EXCEPT brain and spinal cord

• Peripheral Nervous System
• Central Nervous System

This nervous system moves your bones

• Autonomic Nervous System
• Sympathetic Nervous System
• Parasympathetic Nervous System
• Somatic Nervous System
