| Scientific freedom | an account of an event, behavior, or thought that is couched in terms of an established set of scientific principles, facts, and assumptions |
| Neuron | the basic cellular unit of the nervous system |
| Dendrites | where the message from the axon and neurochemicals are released and received. |
| Axon | electrical messages are sent through the axons, covered by myelin sheaths |
| Synapses | axon terminal |
| Neurotransmitters | when electrical charges travel through the axon, they reach the end and trigger the release of of chemicals called…. |
| Reuptake | once the neurotransmitters have bound to the receptors, they are sent back to the original axon in a process called …. |
| nervous system | the system of neurons, nerves, tracts, and associated tissues that, together with the endocrine system, coordinates activities of the organism in response to signals received from the internal and external environments. |
| Nerves | bundle of axons outside the central nervous system (CNS), enclosed in a sheath of connective tissue to form a cordlike structure. |
| Sensory neuron | a neuron that receives information from the environment, via specialized receptor cells, and transmits this information—in the form of nerve impulses—through synapses with other neurons to the central nervous system. |
| Interneuron | any neuron that is neither sensory nor motor but connects other neurons within the central nervous system. Also called connector neuron. |
| Somatic nervous system | the part of the nervous system comprising the sensory and motor neurons that innervate the sense organs and the skeletal muscles, as opposed to the autonomic nervous system. |
