Document Summary

Coordinated the information-processing tasks and keeps the cell alive. Receive information from other neurons and relay it to the cell body. Carries information to other neurons, muscles, or glands. An insulating layer of fatty material; composed of glial cells. The junction (space) between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites/cell body of another. Receive information from the external world and covey this information to the brain. Carry signals from the spinal cord to the (cid:373)us(cid:272)le"s to produ(cid:272)e (cid:373)o(cid:448)e(cid:373)e(cid:374)t. Connect sensory neurons, motor neurons, or other interneurons. The difference in electric charge when the neuron is at rest. An electric signal that is conducted along the le(cid:374)gth of a (cid:374)euro(cid:374)"s a(cid:454)o(cid:374) to a s(cid:455)(cid:374)apse. The time following an action potential during which a new action potential cannot be initiated. Knoblike structures that branch out from an axon. Chemicals that transmit information across the s(cid:455)(cid:374)apse to a re(cid:272)ei(cid:448)i(cid:374)g (cid:374)euro(cid:374)"s de(cid:374)drites.
