What are the 3 major components of Nervous System

A regulatory system that uses electrical impulses as signals to control the actions of cells or organs

Basic unit of Nervous System

Other term for Neurons

Carry information from one body part to another

What are the several parts of Neurons

How many neurons do the human brain have

Contains the nucleus and other cell organelles

Extension of neurons that receive information from neighbouring neurons

Sends information to the other neurons, body tissues, and organs

The ends of axons that transmit messages to other cells via the use of neurotransmitters at synapses

The junction between two neurons that allows a signal to pass between them

The chemical signals released by the axon terminal

An insulating layer, or sheath that forms around the nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord

What are the 3 types of Neurons

Carry information from the sense organs to the brain and spinal cord

Transmit messages from the brain to the muscles to generate movement

Responsible for processing the sensory information carried by sensory neurons and giving a response through motor neurons

The way nerve cells or neurons communicate with one another

Recieve electric signals from the nerve impulse

What travels along the axon in the nerve impulse

Axon terminals release the electrical signals as

Where does the neurotransmitters releases
