Human Physiology 8e by Silverthorn Another name for nerve cells - ANS Neuron Neurotransmitters - ANS Chemical signal released by neurons into extracellular fluid to communicate with neiboring cells. Gap junctions - ANS pathway in which neurons are gaped together. emergent properties - ANS complex properties such as consciousness, intelligence, and emotion that cannot be predicted from what we know about the properties of individual nerve cells and their specific connection Nervous system is divided into 2 parts - ANS Central Nervous system and peripheral nervous system Central Nervous system - ANS Consists of brain and spinal cord Peripheral Nervous system - ANS Consist of sensory (affarent) and efferent neurons Another name for autonomic division of PNS - ANS Visceral nervous system Autonomic neurons are subdivided into - ANS Sympathetic and parasymphatetic enteric nervous system - ANS a network of neurons in the walls of the digestive tract. It is control by the autonomic division, but it can also function as its own integrating center. Axon - ANS carry out information dendrites - ANS receive incoming signals Pseudounipolar neurons - ANS Neurons have a single process called the axon. during development, the dendrite fused with the axon bipolar neurons - ANS have a single axon and a single dendrite coming off the the cell body Anazonic neurons - ANS lack an identifiable axon, but have numerous branched dendrites multipolar neurons - ANS many dendrites and branched axon interneurons - ANS Neurons that lies entirely within the CNS Collaterals - ANS Branches of an axon Axon terminal - ANS enlarged ending in an efferent neuron
