synapse | space between two neurons |
homeostasis | stable internal environment |
central | nervous system division - contains brain and spinal cord |
endocrine | system containing glands and hormones |
interneurons | neuron - connects motor and sensory |
neurotransmitter | chemical transports impulse across synapse |
nervous system | response system |
peripheral | division including sensory and motor neurons |
dendrite | neuron end that receives impulse |
