Neuron (Nerve) | show 🗑
|
||||
show | Nerve cell that carries messages from sense receptors toward the central nervous system. Also called afferent neuron.
🗑
|
||||
Motor neuron | show 🗑
|
||||
show | A nerve cell that relays messages between nerve cells, especially in the brain and spinal cord.
🗑

Dendrite | show 🗑

Soma | show 🗑
|
||||
Axon | show 🗑
|
||||
show | Electrical charge of the axon in its inactive state, when neuron is ready to fire.
🗑
|
||||
show | Nerve impulse caused by a change in electrical charge across the cell membrane of the axon. When the neuron fires, this charge travels down the axon and causes neurotransmitters to be released by the terminal buttons.

show | Microscopic gap that serves as a communications link between neurons.
🗑

Terminal buttons | show 🗑
|
||||
show | The relaying of information across the synapse be means of chemical neurotransmitters.
🗑
|
||||
show | A small container holding neurotransmitter molecules that then connects to the presynaptic membrane, releasing the neurotransmitter into the synapse.
🗑

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.
