Human Anatomy & Physiology
Nervous System Review Sheet

Types of Neurons (based on function):
1. sensory
2. motor
3. interneuron

Structure of a Neuron: label & be able to define: cell body, dendrites, axons,axon hillock, schwann cells, nodes of ranvier, axon terminals, synapse, synaptic knob, synaptic vessicles, neurotransmitters

White vs. Gray Matter/ Myelinated vs Unmyelinated

Make a flow chart sequencing how an impulse is passed through a neuron

Show a graph and define a polarized, depolarize, repolarized and hyperpolarized membrane


Define:
ß Threshold
ß All or None Response
ß Action Potential
ß Saltatory conduction

ß Excititory vs. Inhibitory

Give several examples of neurotransmitters & their effect

CNS: brain & spinal cord (see outline!)

PNS: (see notes!)
