Document Summary

[communicate with one another through gap junctions] ependymal cells - specialized cells that create a selectively permeable epithelial layer (ependyma) that separates the fluid compartments of the. There are two types of efferent neurons: somatic motor division - control skeletal muscles. 1: autonomic division (visceral nervous system) - controls smooth and cardiac muscles, exocrine glands, some endocrine glands, and some types of. Biob30 - chapter 8: neurons - cellular and network properties adipose tissue, as well as the contraction and secretion in various internal organs. There are two types of autonomic neurons: sympathetic branch. 1: parasympathetic branch enteric neurons system - new branch of nervous system that consists of a network of neurons in the walls of the digestive tract. For some processes, the cns does not need input from the pns. It is more than capable of initiating activity without sensory input.

Of the 4 basic tissue types found in the body, the tissue typethat is composed of _________ cells, also known as neurons, is thetype that is specialized to generate and propagate electrochemicalmessages that enable communication between cells in very distantlocations.

The part of a nerve cell that contains the nucleus along withthe bulk of the cell's cytoplasm and other cellular organelles iscalled the soma or ____________. The bulk of the cell signalscoming to the nerve cell are received in this region.

______________ are cellular projections that serve to increasethe receptive surface area of the nerve cell; that is, incomingsignals are also received in these areas and then immediatelytransferred to the cell body. When these structures projectdirectly from the cell body, they are '_____' anatomic dendrites.When they are located at some distance from the cell body but bringinformation directly to the soma - they are '___________'dendrites. Neurons often have multiple dendrites.

While neurons often contain multiple dendrites to bringinformation into the cells, each has a single _________ responsiblefor transmitting information from the cell body to the intendedrecipient of the neuron's message.
