impulses travel between the central nervous system and other parts of the body.
cytoplasm that receives stimuli.
elongated and carries impulses away from the body.
specialized to receive and conduct electrical impulses.
34
neuron meets another cell.
transmits nerve impulses across a synapse.
polarity of the membrane of a neuron or muscle fiber that facilitates the transmission of electrical impulses.
potential between the two sides of a cell membrane.
35
and there is an electric potential across the cell membrane of a nerve cell or muscle cell .
the flow of information in the body.
nervous system except the brain and the spinal cord.
a sense organ to the central nervous system.
impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands.
36
37
approximately 100 billion nerve cells, which are also called neurons.
types of neurons in the nervous system that differ in appearance.
common structural features that allow them to transmit and receive messages.
38
39
dendrites function as the “receptive” part of the cell.
terminal are involved in transmission of messages to other cells.
cell can receive messages from thousands of other neurons.

42
motor neurons and receive messages from the motor cortex
motor neuron comes very close to the muscle cell, but does not touch the muscle.
43
space between the axon terminal and the muscle cell
– Known as the synaptic cleft
includes the axon terminal, synaptic cleft, and adjacent part of the muscle cell
– Known as the synapse
44
45
46
molecules travel across the synaptic cleft and bind to specialized receptors on the muscle cell.
binds to the receptor, electrical activity is induced in the muscle and this causes a complex series of biochemical events to
that results in muscle contraction and movement
