What is the difference between gray matter and white matter? Gray is unmyelated and white is myelatied
the portion of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body is the what? Axon
the fine branching filaments of an axon are called what? axon terminals
the component of a reflex arc that responds to a motor impulse is the what? effector
which type of neuron conducts nerve impulses toward the central nervous system? sensory
Bublike structure at the distal ends of axon terminals that contain storage saves for neurotransmitters are called what? synaptic ends bulbs
which neuroglials cell is phagocytic? microglial cell
A neuron that contains several dendrites and one axon is classified as a what? multipolar

the two types of cells taht compose the nervous system are neurons and what? neurogila
neurons with one dendrite and one axon are classified as what? bipolar
the functional contract between two neurons or between a neuron and and effector is called what? synapse
rami short spinal nerves branch into three or four mixed distal rami.
what are the 4 rami? small dorsal ramus, largest ventral ramus, tiny meningeal branch and rami communicantes
what is one rami called? ramu
