3. PNS nerves and ganglia
4. afferent (sensory) PNS Sensory, going to CNS
5. sensory ascending, atterent, dorsal
6. efferent (motor)PNC impulses are carried away from the CNS through the PNS, to the ettectors
7. motor descending, etterent, ventral
8. efferent (motor) are tracts ending in -spinal etterent (motor) or atterent (sensory)?
9. astrocytes, oligoden- What types of neuroglia are in the CNS?
drocytes, microglia,
ependymal cells
10. Epithalamus Connect to the limbic. system contains the pineal gland, controls circadian
rhythm
11. suprachiasmatic nu- area of the hypothalamus in which the body's biological clock is located
cleus (SCN)
12. Epineurium surrounds the entire nerve
13. afferent (sensory) Are tracts beginning with spinal- etterent (motor) or atterent (sensory)

15. yes, through the nose can you get things past the blood-brain barrier? if yes then how
16. Endoneurium surrounds each axon (fiber)
17. motor the precentral gyrus is ventral, so what is its' pathway
18. sensory the postcentral gyrus is dorsal, so what is its' pathway
19. autonomic nervous provides automatic control, regulating of smooth muscles, cardiac muscle
system and glandular activity
20. somatic nervous sys- provides voluntary control over skeletal muscle contraction
tem
21. faster the more myelin wrapping around a neuron makes it faster or slower?
22. neuroglia nerve glue, supporting cells of the nervous sytem, phagocytes
23. taste gustation=
24. terminal bouton the area where one neuron synapses on another
25. gray matter is unmyelinated
26. white matter in myelinated
27. nerves bundles of axons in the PNS
28. ganglia clusters of cell bodies in the PNS
29. dendrites Receivers on a neuron
30. subarachnoid space, CSF lives in? 3 of them
ventricles of the brain
and central canal

31. axon most neurons have one that generates and conducts nerve impuls-
es away from the neuron cell body
32. synapse Gaps between neurons where signals are sent
33. astrocytes, microglia, neuroglia of the CNS include? 4 of them
ependymal cells,
oligodendrocytes
34. Schwann cells and neuroglia of the PNS? 2 of them
satellite cells
35. ependymal cells glial cells of the CNS that line cavities of the brain and spinal cord, make
cerebrospinal fluid
36. chemotaxis Chemicals that move things
37. astrocytes largest, most numerous glial cells; maintain blood-brain barrier
38. Microglia phagocytic cells of the CNS, remove disease (macrophages)
39. Exteroceptors detect external stimuli (touch, temp, pressure, sight, smell, hearing)
40. Oligodendrocytes glial cells that produce myelin to sheath areas of white matter, one can
myelinate many
41. Schwann cells Type of glia in the PNS, Supporting cells of the PNS responsible for the
formation of myelin
42. satellite cells surround neuron cell bodies within the PNS ganglia, maintain cellular
environment
