All of the nerve cells within or originating within the brain or spine. Regulates respiration, blood pressure, heart rate.

All of the nerve cells originating or contained entirely outside of the the central nervous system.

The basic cell or communication within the central nervous system.

The metabolic center

of a neuron containing

the nucleus and other

organelles.

Branching

fibers extending from the

cell body of neurons that

receive signals from other

neurons.

A long fiber

extending from the cell

body of a neuron ending

in presynaptic terminals

that send signals to other

neurons.

Supportive cells

of the central nervous

system.

The process

by which sensations

arising from within or

outside of the body are

brought to conscious

awareness.

Sensory

receptors located in

the body that supply

information about forces

within muscles, joints and

limb position, movement,

and general body

orientation.

The system composed

of muscle spindles,

Golgi tendon organs,

joint receptors, and the

vestibular apparatus,

which together provide

the sense of kinesthesis.

Sense of

position and movement

of the body and limbs

and of external forces

acting on the body.

Sense of

position and movement

of the body and limbs

and of external forces

acting on the body.

A motor neuron that

innervates the fibers of a

muscle spindle.

A protective reflex

initiated by Golgi's tendon

organs, resulting in the

relaxation of a muscle

stretched beyond a

familiar load.

Receptors located in the

dermis and epidermis

throughout the body and

specialized to monitor

one of several types of

sensory stimulation,

including pressure, heat,

cold, pain, and chemical

stimuli.

Visual receptors

specialized for detecting

movement and subserving

ambient vision.

Visual receptors

specialized for discerning

detail and color in objects

and subserving focal

vision.

The central area of the

retina comprised entirely

of cones and responsible

for both focal and color

vision.

Coordinates and plans voluntary muscular skills

Prioritizes incoming sensory signals and eliminates irrelevant information from

further processing activities

Directly controls skeletal muscle contractions.

Plays role in the planning and execution of motor skills.

Plays essential role in consolidation of long-term memories

Is intricately involved in planning and control of all voluntary movements.

Directly controls skeletal muscle contractions

Plans and controls all voluntary movements.

A motor neuron that

innervates skeletal

muscle.

An alpha

motor neuron and all of

the muscle fibers that it

innervates.

All

of the motor units

controlling a specific

muscle.

It regulates vital functions including respiration, blood

pressure, and heart rate; controls general alertness; and routes sensory

signals from the body to appropriate higher levels of processing.

It contains feedback loops responsible for coordinating

and correcting movement skills and plays a critical role in maintaining

muscular tone.

It is concerned with sensory perception, decision

making, organizing motor commands, and the memory of motor skills.

The organ that

mediates all mental

functions and all

behaviors.

A grouping of

cells within the reticular

formation responsible

for general alertness and

arousal levels.

The brain stem is a network of interwoven neurons

called the ____________.

Composed of a number

of structures deep within

the cerebrum, this system

plays a critical role in

motivation, emotions,

value judgments, and the

control of movements.

One of

three major types of

neurons; they connect

and convey signals

between sensory and

motor neurons.

A change in the

membrane potential

of a cell, reducing its

negativity and making it

more excitable and likely

to generate an action

potential
