Neurones
induvidual nerve cells that are specailised to transmit electrical impulses
1 of 10
Nerves
Bundles of neurones that connect receptors and effectors to the CNS.
2 of 10
Synapse
Gap between end of 2 neurones.
3 of 10
Chemical transmitters
Chemicals that pass across the synapse and cause an impulse to be generated in the next neurone.
4 of 10
Voluntary actions
responses that are coordinated to the brain.
5 of 10
Reflex actions
automatic rapid responses, which arent coordinated with the brain
6 of 10
Relay neurones
pass impulses from sensory neurones to motor neurones.
7 of 10
Sensory neurones
carry impulses from receptor or sense organ to spinal cord or brain.
8 of 10
Motor neurones
carry impulses to effectors such as muscles or glands
9 of 10
Spinal Reflex
Impulse passes from sensory neurone, via motor neurone, via relay neurone. NB does not travel via brain- automatic
