nervous and muscular

• Axon terminal: The endings of axons; the location where axons make contact with other nerve or effector cells.
• Axon: A long nerve cell process that usually conducts impulses away from the cell body.
• Actin: A contractile Protein that is part of the Thin filaments in muscle fibers
• Action potential: A brief electrical impulse that travels along the axon of a neuron.
• Antecubital: Region in front of the elbow; used for taking blood/shots
• Afferent: conducting or conducted inward or toward something, energy (for nerves, the central nervous system and for blood vessels, the organ supplied)
• ATP: (adenosine triphosphate) A compound composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups, which supplies energy for many biochemical cellular processes
• Axial Skeleton: Relating to or situated in the central part of the body, in the head and trunk as distinguished from the limbs, for example, the axial skeleton
• Appendicular skeletons: Relating to an appendix or appendage, especially the limbs.
• Broca's area is a key component of a complex speech network, interacting with the flow of sensory information from the temporal cortex, devising a plan for speaking and passing that plan along to the motor cortex, which controls the movements of the mouth.
• Broca's area is located in the frontal lobe.
• The cerebrum controls movement, speech, intelligence, emotion, and what we see and hear.
• The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is located at the front top part of the brain.
• The cerebellum, known as the "little brain," is involved in motor control as well as select cognitive activities.
• A CT scan is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed internal body images.
• Compact bone is a solid and hard bone that makes up the outer layer of all bones and the shafts of long bones.
• Spongy Bone is a porous bone found in animals containing red bone marrow.
• The Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord, to which sensory impulses are transmitted and from which motor impulses pass out, and which supervises and coordinates the activity of the entire nervous system.
• A dendrite is any of the usually branching protoplasmic processes that conduct impulses towards the cell body of a neuron.
• Efferent neurons carry information from sensory receptors of the skin and other organs to the central nervous system.
• Glial cells in the nervous system provide protection and maintain homeostasis for neurons.
• A goniometer is an instrument for precise measurement of angles, especially one used to measure the angles of movement.
• A gyrus is a ridge or fold between two clefts on the cerebral surface in the brain.
• Histology is the study of microscopic structures of tissue.
• Homeostasis is the maintenance of stable internal physiological conditions (like body temperature or the pH of blood), which enables the optimal functioning of an organism.
• Hormones are signaling molecules produced by glands.
• A hormone induces a specific effect on the activity of cells.
• Interneurons, as the name suggests, are the ones in between - they connect spinal motor and sensory neurons.
• Interneurons transfer signals between sensory and motor neurons and can also communicate with each other, forming circuits of various complexity.
• A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone.
• The medulla oblongata is the connection of the brainstem and spinal cord.
• The medulla oblongata transmits signals between the spinal cord and the higher parts of the brain and in controlling autonomic activities, such as heartbeat and respiration.
• Henry Molasson performed a surgery on himself to try to get rid of the seizures he was having.
• In a neuron, an insulating coat of cell membrane from Schwann cells that is interrupted by nodes of Ranvier is called Myelin.
• Myosin is a protein that makes up Thick filaments in muscle fiber.
• MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body.
• Neurons are the primary signaling cells of the nervous system.
• Neurons send and receive electrical and chemical signals to communicate with each other in the nervous system and with other types of cells in the body.
• Nerve cells that send messages all over your body to allow you to do everything from breathing to talking, eating, walking, and thinking are called Neurotransmitters.
• OsteoBlast is a bone-forming cell.
