psychology glands and nervous system

Nervous System definition

• The nervous system is the system that circulates blood and nutrients throughout the body.
• The nervous system is a complex network that
  controls and coordinates bodily
  functions, enabling us to sense,
  think, move, and feel

• The nervous system is a type of muscle tissue that contracts and relaxes.
• The nervous system is responsible for digestion and metabolism.

What does CNS stand for?

• Central Nervous System
• Central Network Structure
• Cognitive Neural System
• Central Nervous Systematic

What does PNS stand for?

• Peripheral Nervous System
• Peripheral Network Service
• Primary Neural Structure
• Public Network System

What are neurons?

• Neurons are the primary components of the immune system.
• Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system that transmit signals throughout the body.
• Neurons are the cells that produce hormones in the body.
• Neurons are responsible for digesting food in the stomach.

What are the 3 types of neurons? select 3

• Sensory neurons,

• motor neurons,

• Emotional neurons
• interneurons

What is a motor neuron?

• A motor neuron is responsible for processing sensory information.
• A motor neuron connects different neurons within the brain.
• A motor neuron transmits signals from muscles to the brain.
• A motor neuron is a neuron that carries instructions
  from CNS out to
  bodies muscles and
  glands

What is an interneuron?

• An interneuron is a type of sensory neuron.
• An interneuron is a motor neuron that transmits signals to muscles.
• An interneuron is a neuron found only in the peripheral nervous system.
• An interneuron is In the brain and spinal cord

What is a sensory neuron?

• A sensory neuron Carries messages from
  tissues and sensory
  receptors inward to
  spinal cord, and brain for
  processing

  
  

• A sensory neuron is a cell that transmits electrical signals to muscles.
• A sensory neuron is a type of muscle cell that contracts in response to stimuli.
• A sensory neuron is responsible for producing hormones in the body.

Label the Neuron-What does the letter "A" represent?

• Dendrite
• Axon
• Myelin Sheath
• Node of Ranvier

What is the primary role of the dendrites in a neuron?

• To transmit signals away from the neuron's cell body

• To receive signals from other cells

• To insulate the neuron and speed up signal transmission

• To release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft
