BIOLOGY STAGE 4

The nervous system is responsible for transmitting the signal from the brain and the rest of the body to control the ability to feel, smell, taste and see.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The neuron is the basic and individual cell from nervous system. It performs four specialized functions.

• FALSE

• TRUE

The________ vary considerably in shape and size and have four well-defined structural regions.

• Dendrites

• Neurons

are branched cell extensions, which extend from the body of the neuron, and their primary function is to respond to stimuli from other neurons or the external environment.

• dendrites

• neurons

its functions are to contain the organelles found in the cells, add electrical signals from the dendrites to produce an action potential.

• neurons

• cell body

long and thin fiber that extends from the cell body, which carries the action potential to the synaptic terminal at the end of the axon, contacting other cell, forming nerves.

• Axon

• dendrites

The_______is the separation space between two neurons that communicate and participates a transmitting and a receiving neuron.

• Cell body

• Sinapsis

The neuron is the basic and individual cell from nervous system. It performs four specialized functions.

• Receive information from the environment.

• Process this information and produce an electrical signal.

• Conduct the electrical signals to a point where another cell is located.

• Communicate with other cells, which respond to stimuli, emotions, stress or pain.

• FALSE

• TRUE

We have three types of neurons: motor or response, interneurons, and sensory or receptor.

• TRUE

• FALSE

multipolar, they carry the signal from the brain, specifically the central nervous system where the activity of muscles or glands is controlled

• Motor or response neurons

• sensory or receptor neurons
