Nervous system
is a system that has tissue, cells, etc.
Spinal
cord
is the connection from the brain and the rest of the body
Central nervous system
is the main processing
brain
is the distributor of information
cerebrum
controls thoughts
cerebellum
controls balance and posture
brain stem
controls heart rate and digestion
peripheral nervous system
connects central nervous system to limbs and organs
somatic
nervous system is voluntary
spinal
nerve
controls sensory signals
cranial nerves
controls in and out of the information in the brain stem
autonomic
is involuntary
sympathetic
is when stress
parasympathetic
is when relaxed
Nerve Cells
/
Neurons
is the unit of Nervous system
Sensory Neurons
is the Sensory environment to body (receptor cells)
Motor Neurons
is brain to other muscles/Neurons (effector cells)
Neurons
is cell body that contains nucleus
Neurons
carries signals
Dendrites
is towards the cell body
Dendrites
can be
1m
long
Axon
is away from the cell body
Dendrites
and
Axon
is root like structure
When
Axon
is grouped, it is cable like bundles AKA
nerves
Nerve impulse
is the combination of electrical charge and chemical reaction
Synapse
is the space between neurons
Stimulus
is the trigger
Response
is the reaction to stimulus
Neurotransmitter
is a chemical produced when nerve impulse comes to the end of axon
8 parts of nerve cells are
Dendrite
,
Soma
,
Axon
,
Node of Ranvier
,
Axon Terminal
,
Schwann Cell
,
Myelin Sheath
, and
Nucleus
