Muscle and Nervous Tissue

2. This muscle shows no cross stripes under microscopic magnification.
3. Projections of neurons that receive signals from the environment or other neurons.
7. The conducting region of the neuron
10. It's an insulating sheath that covers the axon of many neurons and whose function is to speed up the nerve impulse.
11. The main cell of the nervous system although it's not the most abundant.
12. Gaps in the myelin sheath where it occurs the saltatory conduction.
13. The ability to respond to a stimulus.
14. The most abundant cell type in the nervous tissue.

1. The property of being able to contract reducing its dimension.
4. The contractile unit of the muscle.
5. The site of transmission of electric nerve impulses between two nerve cells (neurons) or between a neuron and a gland or muscle cell (effector).
6. Each thick filament is composed of about 250 molecules of this protein.
7. This protein forms thin filaments by polymerization.
8. It is also called voluntary muscle
9. This muscle exhibits rhythmic contractions and is not under voluntary control.
