Plays an essential part in the regeneration of cut and injured axons Nerve sheath (outer cell membrane of a Schwann cell) Indentations that are found between adjacent Schwann cells White fatty substance formed by schwann cells that wrap around some axons outside the central nervous systemĪxons outside the central nervous system that are surrounded by a segmented wrapping of myelin Motor neurons only conduct impulses to two kinds of tissue: _ neurons transmit from sensory neurons to motor neurons _ neurons transmit away from the brain and cord _ neurons transmit to spinal cord and brain Nerve cell process that transmits impulses away from the cell body (elongated projection) Main part of a neuron from which the dendrites and axons extendīranching, or tree-like a nerve cell process that transmits impulses toward the body Transmits away from the cell body or dendrite Neurons conduct impulses, neuroglia supports neurons. System that controls heart rate, and contractions of the stomach and intestines Subdivision of the peripheral nervous system The nervous system connecting the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the bodyĭivision of the human nervous system that regulates involuntary actions The term _ is appropriate because nerves extend to outlying parts of the body Two principal divisions of the nervous system _ _ are an exchange of ions between the interior and exterior of the neuron.ĥ. The function of the _ _ is accomplished by the conduction of the nerve impulses and the passing of nerve impulses across a synapse _ is possible only if our physiological control and integration systems function properly _ and _ communicate information to body structures, increasing or decreasing their activities as needed for healthy survival Transmits information more slowly by chemicals secreted by ductless glands into the bloodstream and circulated from the glands to other parts of the body Transmits information very rapidly by nerve impulses conducted from one body area to another Click here to study/print these flashcards.Ĭreate your own flash cards!
