Nervous System

Neurons & Interneurons

QuestionAnswer
What is the function of the Nervous System? to GENERATE, TRANSMIT, and INTEGRATE electrical Impulses for Sensory and Motor functions
What are Neurons? FUNCTIONAL units of the NS
What is the function of Sensory Neurons? carry info about the Internal or External Environment
What are the 2 types of Neurons? Sensory, Motor
What is the pathway of Sensory Information? Receptor Cell --> Sensory Nerve --> Spinal Cord --> Brain
Which Neurons are Afferent? Sensory = TOWARD the Brain
Which Neurons are Efferent? Motor = carry info AWAY from the Brain
What is the function of Motor Neurons? carry signals that produce MOVEMENT
What is the pathway for Motor information? Brain --> Spinal Cord --> Motor Nerve --> Muscle/Gland
What is the shape of Sensory Neurons, and where are they located? Uni-polar - originates in the PNS, Cell Body in the CNS
What is the shape of Motor Neurons, and where are they located? Multi-polar = single axon - origintaes in the CNS --> PNS
What is the function of Interneurons? LINK Neurons in the Brain and Spinal Cord - enable Sensor INTERPRETATION and Complex ACTIONS

What is the pathway of Assoication signals? Snesory Nerve --> Interneuron --> Sensory/Motor Neuron
What is the function of a Dendrite? carry info INTO the Cell Body
What is the function of an Axon? carry info OUT of the Cell Body
T/F. The # of Neurons a person has determines their Intelligence? F. The # of Synapses a person has formed
T/F. Neurons are Amitotic, therefore a person can never become more Intelligent? F. Neurons are Amitotic, but Synapses can grow thoughout life

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
