Nervous System
15
Dendrites:The branching process of a neuron that conducts impulses toward the cell.
Soma:The body of an organism as contrasted with its germ cells.
Axon Hillock: The conical area of origin of the axon from the nerve cell body
Axon:The appendage of the neuron that transmits impulses away from the cell body
Terminal Buttons:Small knobs at the end of an axon that release chemicals called neurotransmitters and form the Presynaptic Neuron of the synapse
Chemoreceptor:A sensory receptor in a biological cell membrane to which an external molecule binds to generate a smell or taste sensation
Mechanoreceptors:Any of the sense organs that respond to vibration, stretching, pressure, or other mechanical stimuli
Photoreceptors:A light-sensitive cell or organ that conveys impulses through the sensory neuron connected to it
Thermoreceptors:A sensory receptor that responds to heat and cold
Nociceptor :A sensory receptor that responds to pain
Auditory receptors :Pertaining to hearing, to the sense of hearing, or to the organs of hearing
Somatic motor neuron :A motor neuron forming a direct synapse with striated muscle fibers via a motor endplate
Sensory Neuron :A nerve cell that conducts impulses from a sense organ to the central nervous system
Motor Neuron:A nerve cell that conducts impulses to a muscle, gland, or other effector
Interneuron :Any neuron having its cell body, axon, and dendrites entirely within the central nervous system, especially one that conveys impulses between a motor neuron and a sensory neuron
