HSS 391-01 Midterm UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Gray matter neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons
white matter Myelinated axons
palpebrae eyelids
axon A single, large process of a neuron that propagates APs away from the soma
, axon hillock Place where axon leaves soma, devoid of Nissl substance; APs initiated here
cell body Part of neuron that contains the nucleus and organelles
chromatophilic substance "Nissl" dark staining material found within soma
dendrite Branching process that extends from soma
A node of Ranvier Bare region on myelinated axons
synpatic knobs Swellings on the ends of axons that form synapses with either another neuron
or an effector organ
Telodendria branches at the end of axons
anterior horn cell large neuron with prominent nissl substance, irregularly shaped soma and
multiple dendrites
purkinje cell located in the cerebellum, basket like soma, dendrites extend into molecular
layer
cell body of purkinje, glial cell, cerebellum
pyramidal cell, cerebral cortex located in the cerebral cortex, cell body has triangular shape and large
nucleus
sattelite cells,PNS Located in PNS, provide protection, support and nutrients to cell bodies
schwann cells, PNS located in PNS, large processes, produce myelin.
