Neuron- highly specialized cell that transmits electrical impulses Stephen M. Fowler

Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS)- brain and spinal chord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)- all nerves extending from and going to the CNS Composed of over 100 billion neurons

Elements of a Neuron

Neurotransmitters Are required along with vesicles to transmit a nerve impulse from one neuron to another over the synapse.

Classes of Neurons Afferent- do not have dendrites: transmit impulses from specialized structures to the Central Nervous System Efferent- conduct electrical signals from the CNS to muscle or glad cells Inter- reside entirely within the CNS and make up about 99% of all neurons

Neuroscience Terminology Nerve- bundle of axons in the PNS Pathway- bundle of axons in the CNS Commissure- a collection of nerve fibers linking the left and right halves of the CNS Nuclei- cell bodies linked together in the CNS Ganglia- cell bodies linked together in the PNS
