        Help!  

Question
Answer
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)   Sensory input from the viscera and blood vessels, and motor output to involuntary effectors (Cardiac muscle, Smooth muscle, glands)  
🗑
Axon   Single long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body.  
🗑
Cortex   Thin, superficial layer of grey matter that covers the cerebrum and cerebellum  
🗑
Dendrites   Highly branched processes neuron that carry impulses to the cell body (main receiving or input region.  
🗑
Enteric Plexus   Network of neurons in the walls of the gastrointestinal (GI) track  
🗑
Fasciculus (fasciculi:pl)   Axon bundles of nerve  
🗑
Ganglion (ganglia: pl)   Cluster of cell bodies and the synaptic region for neurons located in the PNS  
🗑
Gray Matter:   Contains cell bodies, dendrites, axon terminals of neurons, unmyelinated axons, and neuroglia.  
🗑
Interneurons (association neurons)   Mulitipolar neurons located within the CNS that integrate incoming sensory information to elicit a motor response  
🗑
Motor (efferent neurons)   Mulitpolar neurons, convey impulses from the CNS out through the PNS to effectors ("Involuntary" muscles or glands)  
🗑
Nerve   Bundle of axons in the PNS  
🗑
Nucleus   Cluster of cell bodies and the synaptic region for neurons located in the CNS  
🗑
Neuroglia   Cells that support, nourish, and protect neurons  
🗑
Neurons   Nervous tissue cells that are specialized for nerve impulse conduction  
🗑
Parasympathetic Division   Division of the ANS that performs our housekeeping activities and conserves energy (rest and digest)  
🗑
Perception   Our awareness of sensory input (Stimuli)  
🗑
Sensory (afferent) Neurons   Unipolar (Pseudo-Unipoalr) neurons, convey stimuli impulses to the CNS for integration  
🗑
Sensory Receptors   Monitor and transduce changes in our internal and external enviroment  
🗑
Spinal Cord   Grey matter forms an H-shaped inner core surrounded by white matter  
🗑
Soma   Cell body of neurons that contain the typical organelles plus chromatophilic (Nissl) bodies  
🗑
Somantic Nervous System (SNS)   Sensory input from the head, body wall, limbs, and special sense organs and motor output to "voluntary" skeletal muscles  
🗑
Sympathetic Division   Division of the ANS that activated under stressful situations ("fight or flight")  
🗑
Tract   Bundle of axons in the CNS  
🗑
White Matter   aggregates of myelinated axons  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
