ANATOMY & PHYS OLOGY - THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
1.what is the nervous system?: a complex system that affects every
part of the body and is vital in controlling involuntary and voluntary
movement
2.what are the 2 divisions of the nervous system?: Central Nervous
System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
3.what is the central nervous system (CNS)?: the part of the ous
nerv that consists of the brain and spinal cord and acts as system
the central co communication and actions of the body. mmand for
controls the regulation of bo
4.What is the peripheral nervous system (PNS)?: the part of theus
nervo that consists of all of the nerves that branch out to thesystem d
rest of the body an it allows the signals sent by the brain toganglia.

5.what is the structure of the neuron?: dendrites, cell body, myelin
axon, axon terminal, synapse sheath,
6.dendrite: a nerve fiber that carries a nerve impulse towardsuron
the cell

7.axon: a nerve fiber that carries a nerve impulse away fromuron

8.synapse: the structure that allows neurons to pass signals to euron
other n muscles, or glands s,
9.where does a neurotransmitter begin in the neuron?: signals start as
graded electrical impulses generated at the dendrites of neurons. if
strong enough, the im- pulse travels along the axon and causes
chemical neurotransmitters to be secreted from the axon terminals into
the synapse. in the synapse, these neurotransmitters will bind to either
