CNS flash cards
central nervous system - Answer nervous system subdivision that is composed of the brain and
spinal cord
somatic nervous system - Answer subdivision of the PNS that controls voluntary activities such as the
activation of skeletal muscles
peripheral nervous system (PNS) - Answer nervous system subdivision that is composed of the
cranial and spinal nerves and ganglia
Autonomic nervous system - Answer subdivision of the PNS that regulates the activity of the heart
and smooth muscle, and of glands; it is also called the involuntary nervous system.
central nervous system - Answer a major subdivision of the nervous system that interprets incoming
information and issues orders
neuroglia - Answer __ supports insulates and protects cells
Neurons - Answer demonstrate irritability and conductivity and thus transmit electrical messages
from one area of the body to another area.
neurons - Answer release neurotransmitters
neurons - Answer are amitotic
neuroglia - Answer able to divide therefore are responsible for the most brain neoplasms
axon - Answer release neurotransmitters
dendrite - Answer conducts electrical currents toward the cell body
myelin sheath - Answer increases the speed of impulse transmission/and protection
