2
New cards

Neural Network

when neurons get in line after practice, development

3
New cards

Sensory (afferent) neurons

carry messages from sense organs to the central nervous system

4
New cards

Motor (efferent) neurons

carry messages from central nervous system to the muscles and glands

5
New cards

Interneurons (association neurons)

carry messages from one neuron to another, connect sensory and motor

6
New cards

Dendrites

transmit messages from other neurons to the cell body

7
New cards

Axon

carries the message tp a nearby neruon or to muscle or gland

8
New cards

Myelin Sheath

provides insulin and increases the speed pf the traveling message or impulse

9
New cards

Terminal Buttons

at the end points of axon branches in a neuron, responsible for sending the signal on to other neurons
