Which part of the nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord, serving as integration and command centers?

Which system includes spinal and cranial nerves, and is divided into afferent and efferent divisions?

Which division of the peripheral nervous system carries impulses to the central nervous system?

Which division of the peripheral nervous system carries impulses from the central nervous system?

Which division of the peripheral nervous system is responsible for voluntary control of skeletal muscles?

Which division of the peripheral nervous system controls involuntary actions and includes sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?

Which division of the autonomic nervous system is associated with the 'fight or flight' response?

Which division of the autonomic nervous system is known for 'resting and digesting' functions?

Which glial cells in the CNS are most numerous and help form the blood-brain barrier?

Which glial cells in the CNS are responsible for destroying microbes and pruning neurons?

Which glial cells line the ventricles and spinal canal, moving cerebrospinal fluid with their cilia?

Which glial cells in the CNS form the myelin sheath, allowing saltatory conduction?

Which glial cells in the PNS surround cell bodies in ganglia and act like astrocytes?

Which glial cells in the PNS produce the myelin sheath on axons and are involved in saltatory conduction?

What are the basic information processing units of the nervous system, consisting of a cell body and processes?

What is the part of a neuron that contains chromatophilic substances and neurofibrils, but no centrioles?

What are the short, branching extensions of a neuron that conduct messages toward the cell body?

What is the long nerve fiber that conducts impulses away from the neuron's cell body?

What is a bundle of axons called in the central nervous system?

What is a bundle of axons called in the peripheral nervous system?

What is a group of cell bodies called in the peripheral nervous system?

What is a group of cell bodies called in the central nervous system?

Which type of neuron has three or more processes, including one axon and multiple dendrites?

Which type of neuron has two processes, one dendrite and one axon, and is found in special sense organs?

Which type of neuron has a single process that splits into peripheral and central processes?

What type of neurons are responsible for carrying sensory information to the central nervous system?

What type of neurons are located between sensory and motor neurons within the central nervous system?

What type of neurons are responsible for carrying motor commands from the central nervous system?

What field studies the movement of ions across neuron membranes, influenced by concentration and electrical gradients?

What are the types of channels that allow ions to pass through neuron membranes, including leak and gated channels?

What are the channels called that open in response to chemical, voltage, or mechanical stimuli?
