🗑
show Interprets and stores information and sends orders to the muscles, glands, and organs.  
🗑
show Pathway connecting the brain and the peripheral nervous system.  
🗑
show Transmits information to and from the central nervous system.  
🗑
show Automatically regulates glands, internal organs, blood vessels, pupil dilation, digestion, and blood pressure.  
🗑
Somatic Nervous System   show
🗑
Parasympathetic Division   show
🗑
Sympathetic Division   show
🗑
show An extensive network of specialized cells that carry information to and from all parts of the body.  
🗑
Neuroscience   show
🗑
show The basic cells that make up the nervous system and receives and sends messages within that system.  
🗑
Biological Psychology   show
🗑
Behavioral Psychology   show
🗑

🗑
Dendrites   show
🗑
show The cell body of the neuron responsible for maintaining the life of the cell.  
🗑
Axon   show
🗑
Glial Cells   show
🗑
show Fatty substances produced by certain glial cells that coat the axons of neurons to insulate, protect, and speed up the neural impulse. It also cleans up waste products and dead neurons.  
🗑

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.
