Nerve cell Basic unit of nervous system
Multipolar neuron Typical neuron
Parts of neuron Axon, dendrite, cell body
Cell body Found in CNS or ganglia, collection of nerve cell bodies outside of the CNS
Grey matter Made up of nerve cell bodies and unmyelinated fibers
White matter Peripheral nerves made up of myelinated axons
Axon Transmit impulses away from the cell body
Dendrite Transmit impulses into the cell body
Nissl bodies Make up the ER of the neuron, involved in the anabolic activities of the cell
Schwann cells a series of small cells that wrap around the fibers of the peripheral axons
Myelin sheath Several layers of Schwann cells for insulation
Nodes of Ranvier Gaps in the myelin sheath, allows impulses to jump between gaps resulting in increase of velocity of transmission
Neurilemma Outermost part of each Schwann cell, encloses the nucleus and cytoplasm necessary for regeneration
Schwann cells (additional) Only found in the periphery fibers of the brain and spinal cord, incapable of regeneration
Na+ channels Only found between the myelin sheaths, NOT WITHIN
Fasicles Bundles of fibers
Epineurium Tough, fibrous connective tissue that bind the fasicles together
Endoneurium Delicate connective tissue covering the fibers
Gyrus Raised areas of the brain
Fissure or sulcus Each depression between the gyrus
Cerebellum - function Equilibrium
Cerebral aqueduct - function Connects 3rd and 4th ventricles
Cerebrum - function Higher though processes
Frontal lobe - function Motor activities
Gyrus - function Raised area in brain wrinkling
Hypothalamus - function Critical in homeostasis
Medulla - function Vital reflex center
Midbrain - function Optic and auditory reflexes

Parietal lobe - function General sensations
Sulcus - function Depression between gyri
Temporal lobe - function Hearing
Thalamus - function Sensory relay
Sclera (eye) Outermost layer for protection and maintenance of shape. White of the eye
Choroid (eye) Dark vascular layer which absorbs light to prevent reflection. Animals that can see at night have a mother of pearl sheen to this layers.
Retina Translucent inner layer which contains rods and cones.
Fovea centralis (eye) Focal point of the eye
Cones (eye) Concentrated in the fovea centralis to produce color vision in bright light.
Rods (eye) Located throughout the retina (away from the fovea centralis). Specialized for black and white peripheral vision.
Lacrimal gland (eye) Produces tears for eye lubrication. Tears contain lysozyme.
Anterior cavity Between the cornea and iris. Contains aqueous humor to maintain the shape of the front of the eye.
Iris Colored part of the eye.
Lens Behind iris, focuses light on retina.
Ciliary body Dark, circular structure around the eye
Pupil Black hole of eye, opening of the iris
Nerve CI Olfactory, Smell, Sensory
Nerve CII Optic, Sight, Sensory
Nerve CIII Oculomotor, Eyes, Motor
Nerve CIV Trochlear, Eyes, Motor
Nerve CV Trigeminal, Face/Tongue, Both
Nerve CVI Abducens, Eyes, Motor
Nerve CVII Facial, Face/Tongue, Both
Nerve CVIII Acoustic, Hearing, Sensory
Nerve CIX Glossopharyngeal, Tongue/Salivary, Both
Nerve CX Vagus, Parasympathetic, Both
Nerve CXI Spinal, Throat/Neck, Motor
Nerve CXII Hypoglossal, Tongue/Chewing, Motor
Sensory Nervous System Detects stimuli and transmits information from receptors to the CNS
Motor Nervous System Initiates and transmits information from the CNS to effectors
Somatic Sensory Sensory input that is CONSCIOUSLY perceived from receptors such as skin, eyes and ears.
Visceral Sensory Sensory input that is UNCONSCIOUSLY perceived from blood vessels and internal organs
Somatic Motor Motor output that is CONSCIOUSLY or VOLUNTARILY controlled; effector is skeletal muscle
Autonomic Motor Motor output that UNCONSCIOUSLY or INVOLUNTARILY controlled, effectors are cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and glands
Multipolar Neuron Motor and association, 99% in humans, spinal cord to muscles, many dendrites, one axon
Bipolar Neuron Sensory such as eyes and ears, one dendrite, one axon, ex: eye to brain
Unipolar Sensory such as skin, one dendrite and one axon meet at same connection point of neuron, ex: skin to spinal cord
