A&P: Central Nervous System Pt 1

consists of the brain and spinal cord

• afferent division
• autonomic nervous system
• central nervous system
• peripheral nervous system

nerves and ganglia outside the CNS

• afferent division
• autonomic nervous system
• central nervous system
• peripheral nervous system

transmits action potentials from sensory organs to CNS

• afferent division
• autonomic nervous system
• central nervous system
• peripheral nervous system

subdivision of the efferent division that transmits action potentials from the CNS to skeletal muscle only

• afferent division
• somatic nervous system
• central nervous system
• peripheral nervous system

subdivision of the efferent division that transmits action potentials to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, or glands

• afferent division
• autonomic nervous system
• somatic nervous system
• peripheral nervous system

location of the nucleus and source of information for protein synthesis

• axon
• cell body
• collateral axon
• dendrite

areas of rough endoplasmic reticulum concentration in the cell body

• axon
