Unit 5 Vocabulary and Diagram Study Quizizz

longer process that carries the information away from the cell in the form of a bioelectric signal (impulse)

• dendrite

• axon

• axon terminal

• cell body

the end of a neuron that make synaptic connections with another nerve cell or with an effector cell (e.g. muscle cell or gland cell) through the use of neurotransmitter release

• axon

• axon terminal

• synapse

• dendrite

ability to transmit an impulse from one structure to the next

• conductivity

• electronegativity

• impusivity

• transmitablity

small cellular processes that receive input

• cell body

• dendrites

• synapse

• axon

process in which an enzyme binds to the neurotransmitter and breaks it apart so that the neurotransmitter can no longer fit into a receptor on the receiving cell

• enzymatic breakdown

• integration

• adaptation

• enzymatic arc

ability to respond to a stimuli and to convert it into an impulse

• exciteability

• irritability

• transmitability

• complexivity

lipid material that forms a sheath like covering around some axons

• myelin

• node of ranvier

• axon terminal

• myosin

specialized cells of the nervous system that produce myelin, maintain the ionic environment, provide growth factors that support neurons, provide structural support, and play a role in cell to cell communication

• neuroglia

• neuron

• neurophasia

• neuropathy

conducting nerve cells

• neuron

• neuroglia

• oligodendrocytes

• microglia

chemical that an axon secretes, into a synaptic cleft, that stimulates or inhibits an effector or other neuron

• neurotransmitter

• amalayse

• steroid

• enzymes
