Carry messages toward the Brain from the Sensory Organs

Blood vessels that selectively let certain substances enter the brain tissue and keep other substances out.

Fluids that circulates throughout brain and spinal cord

Three protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord

Microscopic cordlike collection of fibers that carry electrical impulses

Chemical messengers, released at the end of nerve cells (Axil).  Stoimulates or inhibits anotehr cell, which can be a nerve cell, muscle cell or gland cell.  EX: Acetylcholine, noreprine, dopamine, serotonin, gaba, glutamate

Nerves outside the brain and spinal cord: (Cranial spinal and Autonomic)

Nerves existing from the base of the spina down through the lower leg and foot

Space through which a nerveous impulse is ransmited fro mone neuron to another or from a neuron to another cell, such as sucle or gland cell

Carries oxygenated blood to body cells

single cell vessels that link arteries and veins, where gas exchange takes place

Foreign objects, gas, tissues, tumor or thrombus that circulates in blood stream

blood clotting
