Nervous System (Final) - Group 2

Conduct local electrical currents toward the cell body

Specialized cells, myelinate the fibers of neurons found in the PNS

Responsible for protein synthesis and replaces proteins which are broken down during cellular activities.

An oval shaped membrane-bound structure found in the soma or body of the neuron

It is where membrane potentials propagates from synaptic inputs add together before being transmitted to the axon.

The site of communication between two neurons or between a neuron and an effector cell.

An electrical signal that travels along the surface of the membrane of a neuron

Allows electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells

These are the nerve cells that activated by

sensory input from the environment.

It is a neuron whose cell body is located in the motor cortex, brainstem, or spinal cord.

Specialized epidermal cells that respond to environmental stimuli

Muscles or glands that respond to nervous impulses.

The following are the functional classification of neurons except:

It is also called efferent neurons.

Receives information from other neurons and transmit information to other neurons.

Afferent neurons carry nerve impulses from sensory stimuli _________ the Central Nervous System.
