Psych Vocab Unit 1 Part 3

Define Autonomic nervous system

• Neurons that carry outgoing information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands

• Neurons within the brain and spinal cord; they communicate internally and process information between the sensory inputs and motor outputs 

• The brain and spinal cord

• The part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles of organs

Define Central nervous system

• Neurons that carry outgoing information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands

• Neurons within the brain and spinal cord; they communicate internally and process information between the sensory inputs and motor outputs 

• The part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles of organs

• The brain and spinal cord

Define interneurons

• The part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles of organs

• Neurons within the brain and spinal cord; they communicate internally and process information between the sensory inputs and motor outputs 

• Neurons that carry outgoing information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands

• The body's speedy, electrochemical communication network, consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous system

Define motor neurons

• Neurons that carry outgoing information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands

• Neurons within the brain and spinal cord; they communicate internally and process information between the sensory inputs and motor outputs 

• The sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body c

• Neurons that carry incoming information from the body's tissues and sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord

Define nervous system

• Neurons that carry outgoing information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands

• The body's speedy, electrochemical communication network, consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous system

• The part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles of organs

• The division of the autonomic nervous system that calms the body, conserving its energy

Define nerves

• Bundled axons that form neural cables connecting the central nervous system with muscles, glands, and sensory organs

• The division of the autonomic nervous system that calms the body, conserving its energy

• The sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body c

• Neurons that carry incoming information from the body's tissues and sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord

Define parasympathetic nervous system

• The brain and spinal cord

• The division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body's skeletal muscles

• The division of the autonomic nervous system that calms the body, conserving its energy

• Bundled axons that form neural cables connecting the central nervous system with muscles, glands, and sensory organs

Define peripheral nervous system

• The division of the autonomic nervous system that arouses the body, mobilizing its energy

• The division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body's skeletal muscles

• Neurons that carry incoming information from the body's tissues and sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord

• The sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body c

Define sensory neurons

• The division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body's skeletal muscles

• The division of the autonomic nervous system that arouses the body, mobilizing its energy

• Neurons that carry incoming information from the body's tissues and sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord

• Neurons within the brain and spinal cord; they communicate internally and process information between the sensory inputs and motor outputs 

Define somatic nervous system

• The division of the autonomic nervous system that calms the body, conserving its energy

• The division of the autonomic nervous system that arouses the body, mobilizing its energy

• The division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body's skeletal muscles

• Bundled axons that form neural cables connecting the central nervous system with muscles, glands, and sensory organs
