The Neuron Neuron: a cell that carries nerve impulses (action potential)Nerve: a bundle of nerve cells connected to each other to pass
along action potentials
Axon: transmits nerve impulses from the cell body to other neurons and muscles
Cell Body: contains the nucleus and other organelles of the neuron cell Dendrite: receives nerve impulses from other neurons and transmits them
to the cell body Myelin Sheath: fat substance that wraps around the axon, prevents the
electrical impulse from leaving the axon (neurons can cross over each other)

Reflex Arc Sensory Neuron: send impulses
from the sense organs (skin, nose, tongue, eye & ear) to the interneurons found in the spinal cord
Interneuron: carries impulses from the sensory neurons to motor neurons
Motor neuron: transmits impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands, to cause a response (ex. contract vs. relax, sweat, tears, saliva, mucus).

Simple Reflex Arc Action potentials (nerve impulses) can travel
trillions of routes of neurons. Many impulses require transportation to the brain in order for the action potential to be interpreted and processed (for an appropriate response).
The brain is NOT involved in a simple reflex arc. The nerve pathway consists of :stimulus sensory neuron interneuron (spinal cord) muscle neuron muscle/gland response
The brain will be informed of the stimulus, but is not involved in the reflex response.

The Nervous System Is Organized into Two Parts
I. Central Nervous System (CNS)Includes the brain neurons & spinal
chord neurons (interneurons)Processes information and
analyzes responses
II. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)Includes motor nerves & sensory
nerves (smell, sight, touch, taste, sound)
Carries information gathered from the external environment to the CNS
