Receptors are parts of the nervous system that allow it to:

The nervous system controls the activity of muscles and glands. Muscles and glands can generate changes and are therefore called:

Nerves and ganglia are structures found in the:

Which is not a general function of the nervous system?

The afferent division of the nervous system is also known as the _____ division.

Which is not a function of the motor division of the nervous system?

The portion of the nervous system that conducts impulses from the skin, joints, skeletal muscles, and special senses is the ___________ division.

The portion of the nervous system that has voluntary control over skeletal muscles is the _____________ division.

A neuron conducting an impulse from the CNS to the detrusor muscle of the urinary bladder would be classified as a(n) __________ neuron.

A neuron conducting an impulse from the stomach wall to the CNS would be classified as a(n) __________ neuron.

Which is not characteristic of neurons?

Conductive activity in a neuron generally causes it to secrete:

Which statement is consistent with the current understanding of neural tissue?

Which part of the neuron contains the nucleus?

Where are synaptic knobs located?

The cytoplasm within a cell body of a neuron is called the:

What structures extend into the axon and dendrite of a neuron to provide tensile strength?

Fast axonal transport is:

Vesicles and glycoproteins required at the synapse are moved down a nerve fiber by _______ axonal transport.

Based on structure, the most common type of neuron is the _______ neuron.

Based on function, 99 percent of neurons are:

The neurons that are responsible for integrating information by retrieving, processing, storing, and "deciding" how the body responds to stimuli are:

Which functional class of neurons lies entirely within the central nervous system?

A bipolar neurons has:

A mixed nerve refers to one that contains both:

In a mixed nerve:

Most commonly, a synapse is made between a:

When transmission occurs at a synapse, neurotransmitter is released by:

Electrical synapses involve coupling of neurons by:

Which statement accurately compares the transmission speed of the different types of synapses.

Glial cells differ from neurons in that they:

The glial cell that protects neuron cell bodies located within ganglia is the:

The glial cell with the responsibility of occupying the space left by dead or dying neurons is the:

The glial cell that provides structural support and organization to the CNS is the:

The glial cell with perivascular feet that wrap around capillaries in the CNS is the:

What do all glial cells have in common?

The glossy-white appearance of most axons is due to:
