Question
Answer
Nerves   bundle of axons  
🗑
Neuroglial Cells   Specialized cell of nervous system that produces mylin, communicates btwn cells, and maintains the ionic environment.  
🗑
Cell Body   Major part of neuron  
🗑
Myelin Sheath   Fatty material that forms a sheathlike covering around axon.  
🗑
Central Nervous Sysytem   Formed by brain and spinal cord  
🗑
Axon   Nerve fiber that carries info away from cell.  
🗑
Neurilemma   Surronds the myelin sheath, composed of schwann cells.  
🗑
Neurofibrils   fine threads that extend into the axons and support them.  
🗑
Autonomic Nervous System   Motor portion of nervous system, controls subconsious actions (invoulentary)"heart rate"  
🗑
Nodes of Ranvier   Narrow gaps in the mylin sheath btwn schwann cells.  
🗑
Peripheral Nervous System   Composed of Cranial and Spinal nerves  
🗑
Neurons   Nerve cell specialized to react to chemical and physical changes in their surroundings.  
🗑
Synaptic Cleft   Space seperating the end of the axon and surface of another cell.  
🗑
Chromatophilic Substance   Membranous packets that consist of rough endoplasmic reticulum in the cytoplasm.  
🗑
Nerve Impulses   Bioelectric signals sent from the axon.  
🗑
Dendrites   Recieve the input from neurons on a change that took place.  
🗑
Somatic Nervous System   Motor portion of peripheral nervous system. Involved in voulentary activities, such as skeletal muscle contraction.  
🗑
Schwann Cells   Neurogial cells that surround the axon.  
🗑
Sensory Receptors   At ends of peripheral neurons and provide the sensory function of the nervous system. Gathers info by detecting change in and outside of body, monitors external environment.  
🗑
Synapses   small spaces btwn neurons  
🗑
Neurotransmitters   Messenger molecules that carry messages from neuron to neuron.  
🗑


   

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.
