Neurology

The cells in the brain that send and receive signals are called:

• Glial Cells

• Neutrons

• Neurons

• Protons

This consists of the spinal cord and brain.

• PNS

• ALS

• CNS

• NEU

This carries sensory information from PNS receptors to the CNS.

• Efferent Nerves

• Voluntary Nerves

• Afferent Nerves

• Involuntary Nerves

Voluntary actions of the skeleton and muscles are controlled by this part of the nervous system.

• Somatic Nervous System

• Autonomic Nervous System

This has a stimulating effect called our "fight or flight" effect.

• Parasympathetic Division

• Efferent Division

• Afferent Division

• Sympathetic Division

Motor neurons do this:

• Allow sensory processes

• Allow for communication between neurons

• Allow for movement

• Allow for communication

These form the myelin sheath around peripheral axons and allow for repair and regeneration.

• Microglia

• Satellite Cells

• Schwann Cells

• Dendrites

Contains genetic material including information for cell development and synthesis of proteins.

• Schwann Cells

• Nucleus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Axon Body

These are called "chemical messengers."

• Neuroliptic Cells

• Glial Cells

• Neurotransmitters

• Synaptic Gap

Abnormal involuntary movements are called:

• Dyskenesia

• Ataxia

• Dystonia

• Axial Errors
