Neurons that convey information to the CNS are called sensory, or ___________, neurons.

Afferent

Prenatal degeneration of the forebrain results in a birth defect called ________.

Anencephaly

A/An _________ synapse is formed when a presynaptic neuron synapses with the cell body of a postsynaptic neuron.

Axosomatic

Which of the following appears earlier than all the rest in prenatal development of the nervous system? a.) the neural groove b.) a pair of primary vesicles c.) the neural plate d.) the neural crest e.) the neural tube

C.) The Neural Plate

Contrast electrical and chemical synapses.

E.) Interneurons

A friend takes a flash photograph of you, and you continue to see an image of the flash unite for several seconds afterward. This phenomenon is the result of a ___________ circuit. a.) diverging b.) converging c.) presynaptic d.) reverberating e.) parallel after-discharge

E.) Parallel after-discharge

What is the purpose of the myelin sheath?

It protects the axons.

Anaxonic

Many dendrites, NO AXON

Multipolar

Most common type of neuron; many dendrites and a single axon

The _________ and __________ are necessary for regeneration of damaged nerve fibers in the PNS.

Neurilemma and Endoneurium

In the CNS, cells called ________ perform one of the same functions that Schwann cells do in the PNS.
