|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cell Body | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a neuron's often bushy, branching extensions that receive and integrate messages, conducting impulses toward the cell body
🗑
|
||||
| Axon | show 🗑
|
||||
| Myelin Sheath | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | cells in the nervous system that support, nourish, and protect neurons; they also play a role in learning, thinking, and memory
🗑
|
||||
| show | a brief electrical charge that travels down the axon
🗑
|
||||
| Threshold | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | in neural processing, a brief resting pause that occurs after a neuron has fired; subsequent action potentials cannot occur until the axon returns to its resting state
🗑
|
||||
| show | a neuron's reaction or either firing or not firing
🗑
|
||||
| Synapse | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the gap between the axon terminal of one neuron and the next receiving neuron
🗑
|
||||
| show | chemical messages that cross the synaptic gaps between neurons. When released by a sending neuron, they travel across the synapse and bind to the receptor sites of the receiving neuron
🗑
|
||||
| show | a neurotransmitter's reabsorption by the sending neuron
🗑
|
||||
| show | enables muscle action, learning, memory
🗑
|
||||
| show | influences movement, learning, attention, and emotion
🗑
|
||||
| show | affects mood, hunger, sleep, and arousal
🗑
|
||||
| show | helps control alertness and arousal
🗑
|
||||
| GABA | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a major excitatory neurotransmitter; involved in memory
🗑
|
||||
| show | neurotransmitters that influence the perception of pain and pleasure
🗑
|
||||
| show | a molecule that increases a neurotransmitters's actions
🗑
|
||||
| Antagonist | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the brain and the spinal cord; the body's decision maker
🗑
|
||||
| Peripheral Nervous System | show 🗑
|
||||
| Sensory (afferent) Neurons | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | neurons that carry outgoing information from the brain and the spina cord to the muscles and glands
🗑
|
||||
| show | neurons within the brain and spinal cord; they communicate internally and process information between the sensory inputs and the motor outputs
🗑
|
||||
| Somatic Nervous System | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the part of the PNS that controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs
🗑
|
||||
| show | the part of the ANS that arouses the body and mobilizes energy
🗑
|
||||
| Parasympathetic Nervous System | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | -70 millivolts
🗑

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.
