🗑
Dendrites   SHORT, highly Branched extensions of the cell body   carry impulses TOWARD the cell body  
🗑
Axon   LONG, slender extension of the cell body   carry impulses AWAY from the cell body - insulated by Neuroglia  
🗑
Terminal Filament   Synapse or Neuromuscular Junction    
🗑
Synapse   Terminal Filament when joined to a DENDRITE of another Neuron    
🗑
Neuromuscular Junction   Terminal Filament when joined at a Muscle Cell    
🗑
Amitotic   the direct method of cell division    
🗑
Neuroglia   Supportive cells among/around neurons    
🗑
Schwann Cells   wrapped around Peripheral   provide support and axon insulation; improve SPEED of nerve impulse conduction  
🗑
Nodes (of Ranvier)   GAPS between Schwann cells   serve as relay points for nerve impulses  
🗑
Oligodendrocytes   wrapped around central neurons   provide MYELINATION similar to Schwann cells  
🗑
Astrocytes   crowded among central neurons   Support and Link neurons to blood CAPILARIES - regulate DIFUSSION; contribute to BLOOD-BRAIN Barrier  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
