The afferent nervous system consists of all outgoing motor pathways.

The autonomic nervous system does not stimulate:

Which of the following is not a function of the central nervous system (CNS)?

When "central" and "peripheral" are used as directional terms in the nervous system, a nerve fiber may be called peripheral if it extends from the cell body toward the CNS.

Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes share a common function, but in different parts of the nervous system.

The nervous system contains two types of cells, neurons and glia cells, but only neurons conduct nerve impulses.

Satellite cells are oligodendrocytes that surround the cell bodies of neurons in the CNS.

The epineurium is deep to the perineurium.

Which of the following compounds cannot cross the blood-brain barrier?

Match each term with its definition or description. -Nerve fiber that is highly branched; the name comes from the Greek word for tree

What is the major function of neurons?

The word glia means "support," which accurately describes their function in the nervous system.

Match each of the following cell types with its corresponding description. -Helps form the blood-brain barrier

Match each part of the nervous system with its corresponding description. -Sometimes called the "rest-and-repair" division

Whether a group of nerve fibers is called a nerve or a tract depends on its location.

Dendrites carry impulses toward the cell body.

Preparing the body for "fight or flight" describes the function of the _____ nervous system.

The Greek word for tree correctly describes the shape of the axon.

The efferent division of the nervous system consists of mostly sensory pathways.

Match each part of the nervous system with its corresponding description. -Consists of nerves that lie in the periphery of the nervous system
