4 neuroglia of CNS astrocytes, microglial, ependymal, oligodendrocytes
rectus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique, transversus
abdominal muscles
abdominis
A neurotransmitter that enables learning and memory and also
Acetylcholine (ACh)
triggers muscle contraction
a neural impulse; a brief electrical charge that travels down an
action potential axon
long distance signals of axons
aerobic respiration Respiration that requires oxygen, occurs in mitochondria
Rapid breakdown of Carbs, either glycogen or glucose,
anerobic glycolysis
occurring without the presence of oxygen.
weblike middle layer of the three
meninges
arachnoid mater
astrocytes Provide structural and metabolic support for neurons.
a synapse at which a presynaptic axon terminal synapses onto
axo-axonic synapse
the axon terminal of another neuron
a synapse at which a presynaptic axon terminal synapses onto a
axo-dendritic synapse dendrite of the postsynaptic neuron, either via a dendritic spine
or directly onto the dendrite itself
, Allows impulses to move away from
the cell
axon hillock function
A synapse at which a presynaptic axon terminal synapses onto
axo-somatic synapse
the cell body (soma) of the postsynaptic neuron.
dark area; extends length of the thick
filaments
A band
beta oxidation fatty acids get broken down into energy
flexes forearm
biceps brachii
extends thigh and flexes leg
biceps femoris
Fibers on both sides of tendon
bipennate
muscle that forms a ring around a
body opening
circular muscle
brain and spinal cord
CNS (central nervous system)
, muscle shortens
concentric contraction
with myelin the nerve conduction is faster.For example, whereas
Conduction in different axon unmyelinated axon conduction velocities range from about 0.5
types to 10 m/s, myelinated axons can conduct at velocities up to 150
m/s.
