What is the endocrine system?
A series of glands that make and distribute hormones across the body.
|
What are the cell body and the nucleus?
The two main parts of the neuron main neuron cell.
|
What is the resting state?
The normal state of the ion concentration along the axon.
|
||
What is long range communication?
The type of communication that the endocrine system uses.
|
What are the dendrites?
The tiny parts that extend off of the cell body that look like tree branches.
|
What are neurotransmitters
The tiny specs that transfer nerve impulses.
|
||
What is the bloodstream
The mode of transport used for communication through hormones in the endocrine system.
|
What is the axon?
The chain of smaller cells that the nerve impulse is pumped through.
|
What is depolarization?
The switching of stronger positive sodium ions along the exterior of the axon to the inside and vice versa for the weaker positive potassium ions as neurotransmitters are pumped through the axon.
|
||
What is it when the hormones are sent across the body and react differently with each cell, causing said cells to act or react to a certain stimulus and affecting what behavior is expressed and how it is expressed?
How the endocrine system and hormones affect behavior
|
What are Schwann Cells, Myelin Sheaths, and the Node of Ranvier?
The cells on the chain, the container-like objects that surround said cells, and the line said cells are located on.
|
What is repolarization?
The switching of stronger positive sodium ions along the interior of the axon back to the outside and vice versa for the weaker positive potassium ions as neurotransmitters have already been pumped through the axon.

What is this question even doing here? I don't know.
...
|
What is the synapse (or synaptic cleft)?
The space between one full neuron w/ axon and the next neuron.
|
What are receptors?
The parts that receive neurotransmitters after they cross the synaptic cleft so that they can be transferred further along the chain of neurons.
