What is the occipital lobe?
This lobe of the brain is responsible for vision.
100
What are dendrites?
This part of the neuron receives signals from other neurons.
100
What is an astrocyte?
This glial cell type forms the blood brain barrier.
100
What is the soma?
This is the region of the neuron in which DNA is stored.
200
What are the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems?
These are the two subdivisions of the autonomic nervous system.
200
What are dendrites, the soma, the axon, and the axon terminal?
These are the four main parts of a neuron.
200
What are microglia?
This glial cell type is involved in the immune system of the nervous system.
200
What is the cytoskeleton?
This is the structure responsible for maintaining the shape of the neuron and transporting molecules within a neuron.
300
What are the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions?
These are the four regions of the spinal cord.
300
What is amitotic?
This term describes neurons' inability to grow and divide into two cells.
300
What is myelin?
This fatty substance is made up of glial cells wrapping around the axon to increase the speed at which signals travel down the axon.
300
What is anterograde transport?
This is transport from the soma to the axon terminal.
400
What is the cerebellum (or tegmentum)?
This region of the brain is important for motor coordination.
400
What is an interneuron?
This type of neuron has a short axon that does not project far.
400
What is a Schwann cell?
This glial cell type wraps around neurons' axons in the peripheral nervous system.
400
What is retrograde transport?
This is transport from the axon terminal to the soma.
500
What is the medulla oblongata?
This region of the brain is necessary for breathing.
500
What is excitability?
This is the term used to describe a neuron's ability to receive and pass along a signal.
500
What is an oligodendrocyte?
This glial cell type wraps around neurons' axons in the central nervous system.
500
What are mitochondria?
This is the organelle that is transported to the tips of growing axons.
