Nervous system
20
dendrites: are short, branching fibers the carry nerve impulses
axon: which carries impulses away from the blood cell
myelin: which insulates the axon and increases the speed at which and impulse travels
sensory neurons: pick up information about your external
motor neurons: send impulses to your muscles and glands
interneurons: which are located only in the brain and spinal cord
brain: a moist, spongy organ weighing about three pounds (1.4 kilograms)
meninges: which are three layers of membrains
cerebrum: is the largest upper region
cerebellum: just beneath the back part of the cerebrum
brainstem: located below the cerebellum
thalamus: is relay station for the senses, receiving impulses from sense organs
hypothalamus: regulates body temperature, sleep, water balance, and blood pressure
spinal cord: nerve tissue that extends
cranial nerves: are 12 pairs of nerves that emerge from the brain
spinal cord: branch off from the spinal cord
concussion: is a short loss of consciousness
coma: which is a prolonged period of deep unconsciousness
meningitis: is an inflammation of the meninges
migraine headaches: are severe headaches that usually last a long time
