Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) -ANSWER Consists of the extensive network of
spinal nerves carrying sensory or afferent information towards the spinal cord and brain
and motor or efferent information away from the brain and spinal cord.
afferent fibers -ANSWER transmit impulses from organs to CNS
efferent fibers -ANSWER transmit impulses to organs from CNS
somatic nervous system -ANSWER voluntary control of skeletal muscles
ex: chewing food
autonomic (visceral) nervous system -ANSWER involuntarily controls the visceral
muscles of organ systems like the digestive and cardiovascular systems. Controls the
contraction and relaxation of visceral reflexes.
ex: digestion, heartbeat
sensory neurons -ANSWER gathers information and carries it to the CNS. The senses
gather the information that the sensory nervous system transmits
motor nerves -ANSWER carry impulses away from the CNS to the effectors
ventricles (brain) -ANSWER canals in the brain that contain cerebrospinal fluid
cerebrospinal fluid -ANSWER Fluid in the space between the meninges that acts as a
shock absorber that protects the central nervous system.
cerebellum -ANSWER part of brain found at the very bottom (near neck) of the skull and
coordinates body movements, posture, and balance

hippocampus -ANSWER helps convert short term memory to long term memory
Largest part of a typical neuron; contains the nucleus and much of the cytoplasm -
ANSWER neuron cell body is
axon -ANSWER the extension of a neuron, ending in branching terminal fibers, through
which messages pass to other neurons or to muscles or glands
myelin sheath -ANSWER insulates the axon of some neurons and helps speed up
neural impulses
epithelial tissue -ANSWER A body tissue that covers the body surfaces, lines body
cavities, and serves as a protective barrier
connective tissue -ANSWER Connects other tissues to each other and serves to bind
and support body parts
Muscle tissue -ANSWER Moves the body and its contents by contraction
