EEG 200 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 100% PASS
The basic functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron. What is the major function of this
cell type? - ANS to generate and transmit nerve impulses.
Microglia - ANS phagocytosis of debris (dead cells, bacteria, etc.)
Oligodendrocytes - ANS form myelin around axons in the CNS
Astrocytes - ANS support the neurons; may serve nutritive function and help regulate the
chemical environment of the neuron.
Ependymal - ANS Line cavities of the brain ( and spinal chord); aid in circulation of
cerebrospinal fluid.
Schwann Cell - ANS PNS glial cell that forms myelin
Satellite Cell - ANS PNS glial cell that surrounds dorsal root ganglion neurons
Central Nervous system - ANS The brain and Spinal cord collectively.
Neuroglia - ANS Specialized supporting cells in the CNS
, ©THESTAR 2025 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Synapse - ANS Junction or point of close contact between neurons
Tract - ANS A bundle of nerve processes in the CNS
Interneuron - ANS Neuron serving as part of the conduction pathway between sensory and
motor neurons
Peripheral Nervous System - ANS Ganglia and spinal and Cranial Nerves
Ganglion - ANS Collection of cell bodies found outside the CNS
Efferent Neuron - ANS Nueron that conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles and
glands
Afferent Neuron - ANS Neuron that conducts impulses towards the CNS from the body
Periphery
Neurotransmitters - ANS Chemicals released by neurons that stimulate or inhibit other
neurons or effectors
Axon Hillock - ANS region of the cell body from which the axon originates
Axon Terminal - ANS Secretes Neurotransmitters
Dendrite - ANS Receptive region of a neuron
