| What are the 3 structural classifications of neurons | Unipolar, bipolar, multipolar |
| Nerves that originate from the brain are called _____ nerves. | Cranial |
| The _____ of a neuron is a single process that usually extends from a tapered portion of the cell body. | Axon |
| The efferent pathways of the autonomic nervous system can be divided into the __________ divisions | parasympathetic and sympathetic |
| The structural and functional center of the entire nervous system is the _____ nervous system | Central |
| Neurons have | very limited capacity to repair themselves. |
| These regions of the neuron direct electrical currents toward the cell body. | dendrite |
| What structure of the Schwann cell is essential to normal nerve growth and the regeneration of injured nerve fibers? | neurilemma |
| The ________ of a presynaptic neuron associates with the dendrite of a postsynaptic neuron. | axon terminal |
| What term describes the bundles of nerve fibers within the central nervous system? | tracts |
| This tends to be the longest cytoplasmic projection from a neuron. | axon |
| Excitable cells that conduct the impulses are called | neurons. |
| A signal conduction route to and from the central nervous system is a(n) | reflex arc |
| The glia cells that help form the blood-brain barrier are the | astrocytes. |
| Chemical signals diffuse between neurons at this location. | synapse |
| This is the site of communication between neurons. | synapse |
| The somatic nervous system carries information to the | skeletal muscles. |
| Bundles of myelinated fibers make up the | white matter of the nervous system. |
| The _____ nervous system is a complex network of nerve pathways embedded in the intestinal wall with a network of integrators and feedback loops that can act somewhat independently. | enteric |
| Astrocytes attach to: | Neurons and blood vessels |
| A neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called a(n): | sensory neuron. |
| The nervous system can be divided: | according to its structure. according to direction of information flow. by control of effectors. |
| Fascicles are held together by a connective tissue layer called the: | perineurium. |
| A neuron that has only one axon but several dendrites is classified as a _____ neuron. | multipolar |
| The autonomic nervous system does not stimulate: | skeletal muscles. |
| Gray matter in the brain and spinal cord consists primarily of: | cell bodies. |
| The part of the nervous system that transmits impulses from the CNS to the skeletal muscle is the: | somatic nervous system. |
| The white matter of the nervous system is made up of: | myelinated fibers. |
| The lymphatic system, like the circulatory system, is a closed circuit. True/False | False |
| In the human nervous system are there more, less, or the same glial cells vs neurons | there are almost equal numbers of glia cells and neurons |
| The largest and most numerous types of neuroglia are the: | astrocytes. |
| The nervous system is organized to do which of the following? | Detect changes in the external environment. Detect changes in the internal environment. Evaluate changes in the environment. |
| The afferent pathways of the autonomic nervous system: | carry feedback information to integrating centers in the brain. |
| What is true of a reflex arc? | It always consists of an afferent neuron and an efferent neuron. |
| Interneurons reside in the: | CNS only. |
| Most unipolar neurons are usually: | sensory neurons. |
| Nerves that contain mostly afferent fibers are called _____ nerves. | sensory |
| Multipolar neurons have: | multiple dendrites and one axon. |
| What are the function of the central nervous system (CNS)? | Integrating sensory information Evaluating the information Initiating an outgoing response |
| Along a neuron, the correct pathway for impulse conduction is: | dendrite, cell body, and axon. |
| Dendrites conduct impulses _____ cell bodies. | toward |
| The efferent pathways of the autonomic nervous system consist of the ________ nervous systems. | sympathetic and parasympathetic |
| Regeneration of nerve fibers will take place only if the cell body is intact and the fibers have: | a neurilemma. |
| Neurons in the CNS have less chance of regenerating for all of the following reasons | there is no neurolemma in cells of the CNS. astrocytes fill in the path of regrowth. |
| Small distinct regions of gray matter in the CNS are called: | nuclei. |
| Which of the following is the deepest connective tissue layer of a nerve? | Endoneurium |
