What does a dentrite do? deliver messages to the cell body What does a dentrite look like Part A on the diagram What does the neuron cell body look like? Part B on the diagram What does an axon do? it passes messages on to the next cell What does an axon look like? Part C on the diagram What is the small space between two neurons synapse How does an impulse travel WITHIN a neuron electrical impulse How does an impulse travel BETWEEN neurons chemical impulse Sensory Neuron Carries impulse TOWARDS Central Nervous System (CNS) Interneuron Found in the Central Nervous System (CNS); processes messages Motor Neuron carries impulse FROM Central Nervous System (CNS) to muscle or gland What are the functions of the nervous system? 1. Receive Information 2. Respond to Information 3. Maintain Homeostasis What is a neuron? a specialized cell of the nervous system that sends and receives information What are impulses? Messages that are transmitted from neuron to neuron What is stimulus? the change or signal in the environment that can make an organism react Another name for a nerve cell neuron What is a a reaction response or reflex
