Neurons - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: NEURONS: Nerve Energy Units Relaying Output
Nervously Speedy
Definition: Nerve cells that transmit electrical and chemical signals throughout the nervous
system.
Category: Neuroanatomy
Soma - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: SOMA: Site Of Main Anatomy
Definition: The cell body of a neuron, containing the nucleus and organelles.
Category: Neuroanatomy
Synapse - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: SYNAPSE: Signal Yields Neural Activity Plus Synaptic
Exchange
Definition: The junction between two neurons where communication occurs via
neurotransmitters.
Category: Neurotransmission
Action potential - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: ACTION: Axon Current Travels In One Neuron
Definition: A brief electrical charge that travels down the axon to transmit information.
Category: Neurophysiology
,All-or-none law - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: ALL OR NONE: Action Potential Always Large,
Or Not Emitted
Definition: The principle that a neuron fires with full strength or not at all.
Category: Neurophysiology
Depolarization - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: DEPOLAR: Decrease Electrical Potential Of
Lengthwise Axon Region
Definition: A reduction in membrane potential, making the neuron more likely to fire.
Category: Neurophysiology
Hyperpolarization - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: HYPER: Heightens Your Potential, Exceeding
Rest
Definition: An increase in membrane potential, making the neuron less likely to fire.
Category: Neurophysiology
Nodes of Ranvier - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: NODES: No Outer Defense - Electrical Surge
Definition: Gaps in the myelin sheath where ion exchange occurs, enabling saltatory conduction.
Category: Neuroanatomy
Refractory period - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: REFRACTORY: Rest Ensures Firing Rests After
Charge Travels Over Rapid Yell
Definition: The period after an action potential during which a neuron is unable to fire again.
Category: Neurophysiology
Resting potential - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: RESTING: Ready Electrical State To Initiate
Neural Go
Definition: The electrical charge difference across the neuronal membrane at rest.
Category: Neurophysiology
,Excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: EPSP: Encourages
Postsynaptic Spike Potential
Definition: A postsynaptic potential that makes the neuron more likely to fire an action
potential.
Category: Neurotransmission
Inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: IPSP: Inhibits
Postsynaptic Signal Production
Definition: A postsynaptic potential that makes the neuron less likely to fire an action potential.
Category: Neurotransmission
Reflex arc - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: REFLEX: Rapid Exit From Local External Xperience
Definition: A neural pathway that controls a reflex action.
Category: Neurophysiology
Temporal summation - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: TEMPORAL: Time Enhances Multiple
Postsynaptic Outputs Rapidly At Location
Definition: The summing of several EPSPs from a single presynaptic neuron over time.
Category: Neurophysiology
Synaptic delay - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: DELAY: Dip Exists Long After Yell
Definition: The slight delay between the arrival of an action potential and neurotransmitter
release.
Category: Neurotransmission
Synaptic transmission - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: TRANSMISSION: Transfer Requires
Axonal Neurotransmitter Sending Messages Into Synaptic Interface Over Neurons
, Definition: The process of transferring a signal from one neuron to another at the synapse.
Category: Neurotransmission
Synaptic vesicles - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: VESICLES: Very Essential Sacks Inside Carrying
Little Electrical Signals
Definition: Small sacs in the presynaptic terminal that contain neurotransmitters.
Category: Neurotransmission

Category: Neurotransmission
Autonomic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: AUTONOMIC: Automatically Uses
Two Opposing Modes: In Crisis or calm
Definition: Part of the peripheral nervous system that controls involuntary body functions.
Category: Nervous System
Central nervous system (CNS) - CORRECT ANSWER-Mnemonic: CNS: Central Nerve Station
