Exam 14: Nervous Tissue

The neurons that are responsible for integrating information by retrieving,processing,storing,and "deciding" how the body responds to stimuli are

The nervous system serves a major role in body movement by controlling receptors that cause skeletal muscle to contract.

Where are synaptic knobs located?

What is the connective tissue wrapping that surrounds bundles (fascicles)of axons?

What do all glial cells have in common?

A nerve impulse travels fastest along ________ axons of ______ diameter.

Saltatory conduction of a nerve impulse occurs only along myelinated axons.

Continuous conduction of a nerve impulse occurs only along

The epineurium is composed of

Which of the following does impede the regeneration of CNS axons?

What cell type does number 4 indicate?

Which cells help repair axons through the process called Wallerian degeneration?

These events occur during the development of the nervous system: A: Neural groove forms B: Neural folds approach one another C: Neural crest cells pinch off from the neural folds D: Neural folds fuse to form neural tube Which is the correct chronological order for the events?

Which is not a general function of the nervous system?

As an axon approaches the cell onto which it will terminate,it generally branches repeatedly into several
