Astrocryte
regulates ion
Microglial cell
defends the neurons against materials.
Ependymal cell
lined
cavities
Oligodendrocyte
wraps and insulates axon
Sattelite cell
surrounds the neurons
Schwaan cell
surrounds and insulates axon
Nervous system
group of tissue composed of high specialized cells
Nervous tissue
densely pack of cell
Glial Cell
surrounds and protects gets nutrition
for insulation (regulation of temperature)
helps for the signal transmission
jacket of neuron
Neurons
response to stimuli
active conducting elements
PERIKARYON
consist of a cell body
contain single nucleus
process transmitting impulse to and from the cells body
Neuroglia
supporting elements
Dendrites
Group of short, unsheated processes arrange like branches of tree that transmit
Axon
Single, elongated sheated process conducting impulses away from the cell body
Somatic efferent
innervating somatic structures (
skeletal muscles
and
skin
) can control
Visceral Efferent
involuntary structures (
smooth muscles
,
cardiac muscles
and
glands
) cannot control
synapse
connection between neurons
cell membrane inside (
negative
), outside (
positive
)
Action
Potential
sudden changes in the eletric charge in the membrane
Myelin
Sheath - insulating material covering axons in central and peripheral nervous system, the thicker, the faster the passage of nerve impulse will be.
