Cards

Term
Neuron 1
Definition
- conductnerve signals
Term
fibres 2
Definition
- long cell extensions
- cytoplasm covreed with cell membrane
Term
dendrites1
Definition
- carry signals toward to the cell body
Term
axon1
Definition
- carry signals away to the cell body
Term
sensory neurons1
Definition
- signals from sensory to spinal cord and brain
Term
motor neuron1
Definition
- CNS to muscle
Term
interneurons1
Definition
- within CNS
Term
neurilemma2
Definition
- cover fibre
- help fibre repair itself wen injury
Term
white myelin sheath2
Definition
- cover fibre
- make from Schwann cells
Term
Schwann cells1
Definition
- make myeline
Term
node of ranvier1
Definition
- small space where fibre expose
Term
resting potential3
Definition
- fibre not transmitting a signal
- keep Na out and K inside
- negative in positve out
Term
action potential 4
Definition
- nerve impulse
- Na gates open and it rushes in
- reverse charges, + in, K out& - out
- happens in deplolarization
Term
depolarization 2
Definition
- diffusion of Na into nerve cell
- occurs wen an implse occur
Term
repolarization2
Definition
- Na and + out
- k and - in
Term
myelinated fibre3
Definition
- action potential occur @ nodse
- signal skips from node to node
- signal travels faster
Term
refratory time1
Definition
- recovery time before a neroun produce another action potential
Term
Polarized membrane2
Definition
- charged membrane
- caused by unequal + ion distribution
Term
Snapse2
Definition
- space btw neurons (end of axon and nxt neuron dendrites)
- btw nerous and effectors
Term
three different types of neurons 3
Definition
- Sensory Neurons
- Interneurons
- Motor Neurons
Term
synapse - wen a signal arrive @ axon end 6
Definition
Know the process of a synapse.
- Calcium enter fibre,releases neurotransmitters
- Neurotransmitters spill into snaptic gap(synapse) postsynaptic membrane
- depo in next neron
- acetylcholine release
- cholinesterase release
- cholinesterase beaks down the acetylcholine to stop depo
Term
presynaptic nerurons 1
Definition
- carry impulse to synapse
Term
postsyaptic neuron1
Definition
- carry impulse away from synapse
Term
acectylcholine2
Definition
- released from vesicle in the end plates of neurons
- make postyaptic membrane more permeable to Na
Term
cholinesterase2
Definition
- enzyme rleased from vesicles in the end of nerurons after acetylcholine
- break down acetylcholine
