PSY Test 2 Review

Gila

• Found in the nervous system that provides structural support for neurons "Glue"

• The neuron's stable, negative charge when the cell is inactive.

• Contains cell body

• The time between action potential

Neurons

• Microsophic cells

• Contains cell body

• used to retrieve information

• electrical; impulse is firing.

Soma

• Contains cell body

• Microscopic cells

• Holds nervous system together

• Electric impulse firing.

Dendrites

• Holds nervous system together.

• Contains cell body

• "Branch-like structure" Used to receive information

• "Long thin fiber" Send and transmit electrical impulse.

Axon

• "Long thin fiber"

  Send and transmit the electrical impulse.

• Microscopic cells

• "Branch-like structure" Used to receive information

• Holds nervous system together

Mayelin Sheath

• Holds nervous system together.

• Contains cell body

• Surrounds and protects axons. Acts to speed up the transmission of signals that move along axons. Comprised of gila cells

• Sac like structures that contain neurotransmitters.

Synaptic Vesicles

• Holds nervous system together

• Branch like structure

• Sac-like structure . The gap between two neurons across which information is passed.

• Surrounds and protects axons

Synapse

• Negative charge when the cell is inactive so far you probably have read this far yet this anwser is wrong:)

• used to receive information

• Sends and transmits signals

• where the axon terminal of a sending neuron meets a dendrite of a neuron or other type of cell receiving its signal.

Resting Potential

• "Not Firing"

  Cotains cell body

• "Not Firing"

  Sends and transmits information

• "Not Firing"

  Brief shift in a neuron's electrical charge

• "Not Firing"

  the neuron's stable, negative charge when the cell is inactive

Action potential

• "Firing"

  Contains the axon in a sac-like structure.

• "Firing"

  Contributes to the axon by sending signals

• "Firing"

  Negative charge when the cell is inactive

• "Firing"

  a very brief shift in a neuron's electrical charge that travels along an axon.
