Nervous system

What are the three main parts of the Nervous System?

• Spinal Cord

• Heart

• Brain

• Nerves

Type of neurons that carry information from the CNS through nerves to effectors such as muscles or glands.

• Sensory Neurons

• Interneurons

• Motor Neurons

When a neuron is not firing, it’s in ________.

• Action potential

• Resting potential

• Firing potential

The two neurons never touch one another but are separated by a tiny gap called_______.

• synaptic cleft

• dentrite

• neurotransmitters

• synaptic integration 

The Nervous System is divided into two parts called

• The Central Nervous System & The Peripheral Nervous System

• The Central Nervous System & The Paradigm Nervous System

• The Corollary Nervous System & The Paradigm Nervous System

• The Corollary Nervous System & The Peripheral Nervous System

This is the control center of the nervous system controlling both voluntary and involuntary processes.

• Central Nervous System

• Peripheral Nervous System

Neuron

• a nerve cell with a unique structure for receiving and passing on information

• a signal that causes an animal to react in some way

• found in the brain and spinal cord and allow sensory and motor neurons to communicate

Interneurons/Relay neurons

• nerve cells that detect stimuli

• a signal that causes an animal to react in some way

• nerve cells that carry response information to muscles and other organs

• found in the brain and spinal cord and allow sensory and motor neurons to communicate

Motor neurons

• the animal’s reaction to the stimulus

• found in the brain and spinal cord and allow sensory and motor neurons to communicate

• nerve cells that detect stimuli

• nerve cells that carry response information to muscles and other organs
