Rapid depolarization of the cell membrane that results in propagation of the nerve impulse along the membrane

Sensory nerve that carries information format the periphery of the body to the brain or spinal chord

the loss of feeling or sensation resulting from the rise of certain drugs or gasses hat serve as inhibitory neurotransmitters

Type of unilateral facial paralysis involving the facial nerve

Motor nerve that carries information way from the brain or spinal chord to the periphery of the body

Loss of action of the facial muscles

Accumulation of neuron cell bodies outside the central nervous system

supply of nerves to tissues or organs

Cellular component of the nervous system that is individually composed of a cell body and neural processes

Chemical agent from the neuron that is discharged with the arrival of the action potential, diffuses across the synapse, and binds to receptors on another's cell's membrane

Bundle of neural processes outside the central nervous system; a portion of the peripheral nervous system.

the extensive, intricate work of structures that activates, coorrdinates, and controls all functions of the body

charge difference between the fluis outside and inside a cel that results in differences in the distributions of ions

Junction between two neurons or between a neuron and an effector organ, where neural impulses are transmitted by electrical or chemical means.
