Highlighting the Neuron Images 1 Before Reading Spinocerebellar degeneration • A disease in which the spinal cord and cerebellum degenerate. In Jan’s case, there is miscommunication between the nervous system and the muscular system. Geiger counter click • a device that detects radiation, and when radiation is present it makes a clicking noise Stroke • Caused by a lack of oxygen in the brain; this lack of oxygen kills neurons, which causes that part of the brain to stop functioning 2 Jan Eating Chocolate Bar ©UPMC 3 The Neuron ©MBUR 4 Neuron Diagram The function of the neuron is to transmit, or carry, messages throughout an organism. ©NEU 5 The Synapse ©NIH 6
