Nervous System Assessment Bellwork

The lobe of the brain responsible for behaviors

long thin bundle of nerve cells that extend from the brain stem down the vertebral column. Protected by the vertebrae

• glial cells

• sensory organs

• peripheral nervous system

• spinal cord

Electrical signals are conducted down these cable-like bundles of axons that communicate information between the brain and the rest of the body

• nerves

• glial cells

• brains

• sensory organs

cells of the nervous system

• neurons

• cillia

• schwann's nodes of ranvier

• myelin sheath

The signals between each neuron occur across this space between the dendrite of one neuron and the axon of another

• neurotransmitters

• synapse

• axon

• dendritic gap

electrical transmission across neurons

The part of the neuron that receives information and sends it to the cell body

• axon

• dendrite

• myelin sheath

• glial cell

The somatic nervous system is under voluntary control and communicates with what type of muscle?

• smooth

• cardiac

• nervous

• skeletal

Part of the brain responsible for regulating heart rate, breathing and sleep cycle.

• frontal

• cerebrum

• brainstem

• glial cells

A change in environment strong enough to start a response

• impulse

• glial cells

• frontal view

• stimulus
