Nirobiology

3. The component of neurons that receives signals from other neurons
5. Types of cells that support neurons in the nervous system
7. Cord The central nervous system includes the brain and this structure
9. Type of synapse where neurotransmitters cross a gap to transmit signals
10. Type of connective tissue cell that can help repair the nervous system
11. Structure that maintains the shape and structure of a neuron
12. The long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses

1. The substance that insulates axons and speeds up neural transmission
2. This structure separates the blood from the brain to protect it from toxins
3. The process by which neurons develop and mature
4. Cells responsible for transmitting electrical signals in the nervous system
6. The basic unit of the nervous system, responsible for receiving and sending signals
8. Small gaps between myelinated segments of an axon where action potentials are regenerated
9. Fluid that cushions and protects the brain and spinal cord
