spinal cord
[noun]
the inner part of the spine containing a mass of nerves that connects the brain to almost all the body parts
axon
[noun]
a long, slender projection of a nerve cell that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells
solar plexus
[noun]
(anatomy) a network of nerves in the abdomen and in front of the aorta that contains several ganglia
ganglion
[noun]
(anatomy) a mass of neurons that form a nerve center in the body outside the brain or spinal cord
plexus
[noun]
a complex arrangement or network of nerve fibers or blood vessels that intersect and intertwine within the body
interneuron
[noun]
a neuron that acts as an intermediary between sensory neurons and motor neurons, or between other interneurons.
fascicle
[noun]
a bundle of muscle fibers or nerve fibers bound together by connective tissue
pons
[noun]
a region in the brainstem that acts as a bridge, connecting different parts of the brain and aiding in essential functions like sleep regulation and sensory-motor coordination

[noun]
a glial cell in the peripheral nervous system that forms myelin sheaths around nerve fibers
facial nerve
[noun]
a cranial nerve responsible for controlling the muscles of facial expression
glossopharyngeal nerve
[noun]
a cranial nerve responsible for sensory and motor functions in the head and neck region
vagus nerve
[noun]
a cranial nerve that plays a vital role in regulating various bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion, and respiratory control

a type of neuron that has a single projection, or process, that branches into two directions
parasympathetic nervous system
[noun]
a division of the autonomic nervous system responsible for regulating rest, digestion, and other essential bodily functions
peripheral nervous system
[noun]
a network of nerves and ganglia that connects the central nervous system to the organs, muscles, and tissues of the body, facilitating communication and control

[noun]
a network of nerves and ganglia that regulates involuntary bodily functions
sympathetic nervous system
[noun]
a network of nerves that prepares the body for stressful or emergency situations by activating the "fight or flight" response
somatic nervous system
[noun]
the part of the peripheral nervous system that is responsible for the voluntary control of body movements and the reception of external stimuli.
somatic sensory system
[noun]
a network of nerves and receptors that enables the perception of touch, temperature, pain, and body position
spinal nerve
[noun]
a singular anatomical structure that carries sensory and motor signals between the spinal cord and the rest of the body

[noun]
the initial segment of a spinal nerve that emerges from the spinal cord
sensory nerve
[noun]
a body part that carries sensory information from the body to the central nervous system
sensory neuron
[noun]
a nerve cell that transmits sensory information from the body to the central nervous system
sensory fiber
[noun]
a nerve fiber that carries sensory information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system
sensory cortex
[noun]
the part of the brain that processes and interprets sensory information from the body
multipolar neuron
[noun]
a type of neuron that has many processes or projections (dendrites) arising from its cell body, and a single axon that extends away from the cell body
