Nervous Tissue Review

What is a glial cell?

• provides protection and support

• conducts electrical impulses

• conducts chemical impulses

• inside the nucleus of the cell

What is the function of the axon of the neuron?

• a long projection that conducts electrical impulses toward the cell body

• a long projection that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body

• tree-like structures that receive messages from other neurons

What is the function of the dendrite of the neuron?

• a long projection that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body

• a long projection that conducts electrical impulses toward the cell body

• tree-like structures that receive messages from other neurons

• tree-like structures that transfers messages to other neurons

• space between the neurons where the electrical impulse "jumps"

What is the function of the synapse?

• a long projection that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body

• a long projection that conducts electrical impulses toward the cell body

• tree-like structures that receive messages from other neurons

• tree-like structures that transfers messages to other neurons

• space between the neurons where the electrical impulse "jumps"

What part of the neuron is also called the Soma. It is where the signals from the dendrites are joined and passed on.

• cytoplasm

• dendrite

• axon

• cell body

• nucleus

What part of the neuron is within the cell body and maintains cell function?

• cytoplasm

• dendrite

• axon

• cell body

• nucleus

What type of tissue is in the picture? (hint: this is one isolated cell from the tissue)

• nerve tissue

• epithelial tissue

• connective tissue

• muscle tissue
