  • 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
