Neuron nerve cell; basic building blocks of the head-in-the-clouds system
Dendrites receive messages from other neurons
Cell Body life subscribe to; stores nucleus
Axon passes messages away from cell personate to axone terminals
medulla Sheath speed up neural impulse; silver screen axons
Axon Terminals form junction; store neurotransmitters (NTs)
Action latent electrical charge that travels agglomerate the axon
Synapse junction b/w a sending neuron and a receiving neuron
Neurotransmitter chemical messenger travels across synapse
Reuptake reabsorption of excess NTs by a sending neuron
Agonists mimic NTs and make the neuron combustion
Antagonists bind onto receptor sites and keep it from firing
Reuptake Inhibitors bind axon terminals; prevent reuptake
Stimulants drugs that speed up bodily processes
Depressants drugs that slow down bodily processes
Hallucinogens changes perception of reality
Acetylcholine (ACH) movement; memory
Dopamine movement; alertness; pleasurable tactual sensationings
Endophins pain control
Serotonin mood control; feel good NTs
Norepinephrine fight or flight reaction; adrenaline
Nervous System bodys speedy, electrochemical communication network.
Central Nerv. Sys. (CVS) brain & spinal corduroy; enclosed in bone
Peripheral Nerv. Sys.



(PNS) nerves not in brain & spinal cord
Autonomic Nerv. Sys. control unconscious functions
Sympathetic Nerv. Sys. arousing; fight-or-flight response
Sensory/Afferent Neurons send info from tissues and arresting organs to central nervous system
Motor/ corticoefferent Neurons central nervous system sends instructions out to bodys tissues
-------------------------------------------------
Interneurons talk with sensory and motor neurons; in CVS only
endocrine System slow chemical communication system; a set of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream
Hormones slow-acting but long lasting chemical messenger carried thru out the body by bloodstream
Pituitary secretory organ master gland; controlled by hypothalamus; send messages to...If you want to fit a full essay, order it on our website: Ordercustompaper.com
