| central nervous system | made up of brain and spinal cord |
| somatic nervous system | this part of PNS affects skeletal muscles |
| autonomic nervous system | this part of PNS affects involuntary actions |
| neurons | primary cell for processing and transferring info in nervous system |
| neuroglia | "helper" cells in nervous system |
| sensory neurons | deliver info to CNS |
| interneurons | connect sensory and motor neurons |
| motor neurons | carry informations from CNS to an "effector" |
| dendrites | receive info from other axons |
| axons | take infor away from cell body of neuron |
| astrocytes | glia that are part of blood/brain barrier |
| oligodendicytes | glia in CNS that produce myelin |
| microglia | phagocytitic glia (pac man) |
| ependymal cells | produce cerebrospinal fluid |
| neurotransmitters | chemicals that carry messages across synapse |
| synaptic cleft | space between pre and post synaptic neuron |
| white | this color matter is covered in myelin |
| nerve | bundle of axons |
