| Communication, coordination, receiving center interpretation, response, intellect and reasoning | Functions of the CNS |
| Part of the neuron that transmits impulses away from the cell body... | Axon |
| Part of the neuron that transmits impulses to the cell body... | Dendrite |
| This is needed to assist the impulse across the synapse... | Neurotransmitter |
| Specialized cells in the ANS that combine to make the myelin sheath... | Schwann cells |
| Specialized cells in the CNS that combine to make the myelin sheath... | Oligodendrocytes |
| Fatty substance used for protection of the axon in many neurons... | Myeling |
| Another name for myelin sheath... | Neurolemma |
| Specialized cell that contributes to the blood-brain-barrier... | Astrocyte |
| Another name for sensory neurons... | Afferent |
| Another name for motor neurons... | Efferent |
| A group of neurons complete with blood supply and connective tissue within the CNS... | Nerve tract |
| This concept is the same as what happens in the muscular system to create a conraction...It is also used to create an impulse in the nervous system... | Sodium-Potassium Pump |
