Across
- 7. the end of the axon
- 8. send input and output pathways that have direct connections leading to an immediate response
- 11. ability to propagate an electrical event that may travel as waves of electrical signals along the membrane
- 12. cells that are known to offer various support functions for nervous tissue
- 13. all of the neurons that do not fall into the other categories
- 15. usually highly branched processes, providing locations for other neurons to communicate with the cell body
- 16. axon terminal 'before' the synapse
Down
- 1. cells that have only one process emerging from the soma, two words no space
- 2. cells that typically have several dendrites but never have an axon,two words no space
- 3. a fiber that emerges from the cell body and projects to target cells
- 4. the main part of a neuron is the cell body, which is also known as:
- 5. cells that have two processes, which extend from each end of the cell body, opposite to each other,two words no space
- 6. when a chemical neurotransmitter is exocytosed that is stimulated by the electrical signal reaching a particular neuron region
- 9. ability to respond to a stimulus and generate an initial electrical event
- 10. 'downstream' membrane
- 14. represents the beginning of the axon and also where a signal is first generated, two words no space
