Meninges, Neuron, 3 Main Parts

These are three protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord.

• Meninges

• Pons

• Fissures

• Cerebellum

The part of the brain that is for balance and coordination

• cerebrum

• brainstem

• cerebellum

• corpus callosum

Which part of the brain controls vital functions such as breathing and heart rate?

• Diencephalon
• Frontal Lobe
• Brain Stem
• Cerebellum

The part of the neuron that insulates the axon and increases the speed of the neural message within the neuron.

• Synapse
• Dendrite
• Myelin Sheath
• Axon Terminal Button

The meninges consist of

• the brain and spinal cord.

• nerve tracts that run up and down the spinal cord.

• the membranes that delineate all of the major brain parts.

• the pia mater, arachnoid mater, and dura mater.

Which part of a neuron makes up white matter in your brain?

• Dendrites
• axon (wrapped in myelin sheath)
• Axon Terminals
• Dendrites, axon, and the axon terminals

The four lobes of the brain make up the:

• Cerebellum
• Diencephalon
• Cerebrum
• Brainstem

This is the largest part of the brain, consisting of the left and right hemispheres.

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Fissures

• Diencephalon

branches of a neuron that collect stimuli and transport them to a cell body

• dendrites

• axon

• neuron

• microglia
