Document Summary
Axon: cosntant diameter with less branching. end in the terminal. Axon terminal specialized to send information to the next neuron. Ependymal cells: line the cells. responsible for regulating production and ____ of cerebral fluid. Microglia: phagocrtyic cells. takes anything that shouldnt be there out of the cell. Astrocyte: take up of excess neurotransmitters that were released. Sensory inputs are filtered. important because our cns couldn"t take all sensory inputs in and access. the filter is to make sure we only get what we need to know over evolution. Processing in cns, experieince will affect how we process. Nerve net: a network of neurons, not orangized in much detail and behaviors are very simple. Neural ganglia: groups of neurons that are formed together by glial cells. Interconnected ganglia semgentation: all the way down the body. Anterior specialization brain: like brain and spinal cord. uses for processing.
