Module 7

5. Regulates resting and nutrition-related functions such as digestion, defecation, and urination
10. Collections of neuron cell bodies that are found outside the CNS
12. Bathes brain and spinal cord tissue and provides a protective cushion around the CNS
15. Composed of the brain and spinal cord
19. The ability to undergo an action potential in response to a stimulus
20. Controls the voluntary skeletal muscles
21. A stimulus strong enough to create one action potential in a neuron
22. The time when no action potential can be generated on the neuron because one is already in progress

1. Carries signals to the synapse (the only place a neuron can communicate with another cell
2. Muscles and glands under __________________ control work without a conscious effort on our part
3. Nerves and ganglia and all parts that aren't CNS
4. Transmit action potentials from CNS to the effector organs
6. Part of the peripheral nervous system that originate from the spinal cord
7. Conducts action potentials from one neuron to another neuron within the CNS
8. Engage in phagocytosis to fight infections
9. Neurotransmitter binds to receptors that open K+channels
11. Bundles of neuron axons and their coverings
13. Will not produce an action potential
14. Nerves that originate from the brain
16. Transmitaction potentials from the sensory organs to the CNS
17. Increases the rate and strength of your heartbeat and raises your blood pressure
18. A measure of the charge difference across the cell membrane
