| motor | neuron - travels from brain to body |
| synapse | space between two neurons |
| homeostasis | stable internal environment |
| central | nervous system division - contains brain and spinal cord |
| endocrine | system containing glands and hormones |
| interneurons | neuron - connects motor and sensory |
| neurotransmitter | chemical transports impulse across synapse |
| nervous system | response system |
| peripheral | division including sensory and motor neurons |
| dendrite | neuron end that receives impulse |
| sensory | neuron - travels from body to brain |
| threshold | minimum stimulus to begin impulse |
| feedback inhibition | product of system shuts the system down |
| axon | neuron end that sends impulse |
