| Down |
| 1. | part of the nervous system outside the central nervous system |
| 2. | neuron processes taht bring sensory information into the CNS |
| 3. | a level reached when the neurons are depolarized sufficiently, approximately -55 millivolts |
| 5. | carry impulses from the CNS to effectors (muscles or glands) |
| 6. | the functional connection between the axon of a neuron and the dendrite or cell body of another neuron or the membrane of another cell type |
| 10. | masses of neuron cell bodies, usually outside the central nervous system |
| 11. | the difference in electrical charge between the inside and the outside of an undisturbed nerve cell membrane |
| 12. | motor pathways of the peripheral nervous system that lead to the skin and skeletal muscles |
| 13. | the sequence of electrical changes that occurs in a portion of a nerve cell membrane that is exposed to a stimulus that exceeds the membrane's threshold |
| 14. | chemicals that axons secrete on effectors (muscles or glands) or other neurons. |
| 15. | a type of neuroglial cell that surrounds an axon of a peripheral neuron, forming the neurilemmal sheath and myelin |
| 17. | narrow gaps between Schwann cells |
| 18. | pain resulting from inflammation of a nerve or group of nerves |
| 19. | a type of neuroglial cell that forms myelin |
| 20. | portion of nerve cell that includes a cytoplasmic mass and a nucleus, and from which nerve fibers extend. |
| 22. | a type of neurological cell that connects neutrons to blood vessels |
