These branching structures carry information toward the cell body of a neuron - Dendrites, What is the name of the space between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of a second neuron - Synapse, Which structure is also called the 'emotional brain'? - Limbic System, What is the fatty insulating material that surrounds the axons - Myelin Sheath, Is the type of nervous tissue that conducts a nerve impulse - Neuron, What type of cell carries messages toward the CNS - Sensory Neuron, What type of cell carries messages away from the CNS (out to the body) - Efferent Neuron, There are four major areas of the brain: the cerebrum, diencephalon, brain stem, and - Cerebellum, The frontal, temporal, occipital, and parietal lobes - form the Cerebrum, The midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata are referred to as the - Brain Stem, The Brain Stem is like the essential control center of our brain, made up of three parts: - he midbrain, pons, and medulla, The medulla oblongata (brain stem) descends as - the Spinal Cord, The surface of the cerebrum is folded into elevations that resemble speed bumps; these speed bumps are called - Convolutions of Gyri, The depression between the convolutions of the cerebrum is called - Sulcus, Natural Morphine - Endorphins, Excessive opioids (narcotics) depress the medulla oblongata and therefore cause - Suppression of the Respiratory System, Tapping the Patellar Tendon - The knee jerk reflex is elicited, The Forearm and the hand - The brachial plexus supplies,
