Nervous System

Pick up messages from sensory receptors and transmit impulses toward the CNS:

• afferent neurons

• microglia

• efferent neurons

• oligodendrocytes

All the nerves that branch off from the brain and spinal cord; allow your CNS to communicate with the rest of your body:

• peripheral nervous system

• somatic nervous system

• autonomic nervous system

• parasympathetic nervous system

Neuron's cell body that contains nucleus, DNA, mitochondria, etc.

• dendrites

• soma

• axon

• terminal

What is the first function of the nervous system, describes the reception of stimuli by our senses and transmission of the signal to the CNS?

• sensory input

• peripheral nervous system

• motor output

• efferent neuron

The part of the autonomic nervous system that mobilizes energy and gets the body ready to fight or flee:

• somatic division

• sympathetic division

• central division

• parasympathetic division

A neuron with one axon and many dendrites extending directly from the soma, this is the most common type of neuron in the body:

• astrocyte

• unipolar neuron

• multipolar neuron

• oligodendrocyte

The part of the autonomic nervous system that mobilizes energy and gets the body ready to fight or flee:

• sympathetic division

• central division

• autonomic division

• peripheral division

Long extension or fiber that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other cells:

• soma

• plasma membrane

• axon

• dendrites

Part of the nervous system that carries signals from your central nervous system to regulate things like your heart beating, lungs breathing, and stomach churning:

• autonomic nervous system

• somatic nervous system

• sympathetic nervous system

• parasympathetic nervous system

The part of the peripheral nervous system that picks up sensory stimuli and transmits those signals to the central nervous system:

• sensory or afferent division

• efferent division

• autonomic division

• central division
