| 2 divisions of the autonomic nervous system are? | parasympathetic, sympathetic |
| oligodendrocytes | form myelin sheaths in the brain CNS |
| astrocytes | support and brace neurons. play a role in exchanges between capillaries and neurons. |
| neurons | do all of nervous system work |
| soma of a nerve cell | most active and best developed in body |
| axon hillock | connects to axon |
| neuroglia | small cells surround and wrap delicate neurons |
| ventricles | one of two large chambers that collect and expel blood |
| ependymal cells | line cavities of brain and spinal column, moves the cerebrospinal fluid |
| cholinesterase | serves as neurotransmitters |
| norepinephrine | what gets your blood pumping and heart pounding |
| GABA | inhibits nerve transmissions in the brain, calming nervous activity |
| describe the nervous system integrative function? | adds to memory, produces thought, makes decision |
