Nervous tissue Structure review

Supporting cells of the CNS.

• neuroglia

• Neuron

• axon

• nerve cell

Efferent division

• Convey impulses to the CNS

• Carries impulses from the CNS to organs, muscles, and glands.

Afferent division

• Convey impulses to the CNS from sensory receptors.

• Carries impulses from the CNS to effector organs.

A supporting cell of the CNS that help control chemical environment in the brain.

• Oligodendrocytes

• Ependymal cells

• Astrocytes

• Schwann cells

Metabolic center of the neuron.

• Nucleus

• Axon

• Dendrite

• Cell body

Neuron process that convey incoming messages toward the cell body.

• Dendrite

• Axon terminal

• Axon

• Synapse

Supporting cell of the CNS that disposes of debris, dead brain cells, and bacteria.

• Ependymal cells

• Microglia

• Oligodendrocytes

• Satellite cells

Specialized rough ER found in a neuron.

• Neurofibrils

• Axon

• Nissl Bodies

• fibers

Axons

• Contains neurotransmitters

• Convey incoming messages toward the cell body

• Generate nerve impulses away from the cell body

• None of the above

Gap between the axon terminal and the next neuron.

• Synpase

• Synaptic cleft

• Axon terminal
