Nervous System

Nervous system and neurons

QuestionAnswer
Dendrites recieve impulse
axon impulse travels down it
axon terminals impulse leaves from it
myelin sheath insulates neuron, allows impulse to go faster
schwann cells make myelin
nodes of ranvier impulse jumps node to node.
Action Potential +, potassium gates are closed, sodium is open
resting potential -, potassium gates are open, sodium gates are closed
Impulse aka.. action potential aka...
Vesicles hold neurotransmitters
neurotransmitters relay impulse between neurons
receptor proteins NTs bind to them and relay impulse then RPs release NTs
Transporters NTs renenter neuron through them
Synaptic Cleft Space between axon terminal and dendrite of 2 neurons
Cerebrum large part of brain, voluntary action (learning etc)
Cerebellum back of brain, equilibrium
Brain Stem connects brain/spinal cord
medulla oblongata/pons controls involuntary actions, body systems
thalamus motor control
hypothalamus controls feelings
Spinal Cord relays messages from other organs to brain
Central Nervous System brain/spinal cord
Peripheral Autonomic/somatic
Somatic Relays messages from CNS to rest of body
Autonomic sympathetic, parasympathetic, regulates internal environment
Neurotransmission vesicles bind to wall of axcon terminals, NTs diffuse through synaptic cleft, bind to protein receptors, and return through transporters
