Integration
Conduction of signals from the integration centers (CNS) to effecter cells

Central Nervous System
Divided into 2 parts; the autonomic and somatic nervous system
Motor Division
Receives impulses and brings them to the brain
Sensory Division
Parts of nervous system outside brain and spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System
Motor pathways of peripheral nervous system that lead to skeletal muscles
Somatic Nervous System
Produce myelin, maintain the ionic environment, provide growth factors that support neurons, provide structural support, & play role in cell-to-cell communication
Neurolgia
Nerve Cell
Neuron
Type of neuroglia that connects neurons to blood vessels & provides growth factors
Astrocytes
Membrane composed of neuroglia that lines ventricles of brain
Ependyma
Neuroglia that support neurons & phagocytize bacteria & debris
Microglia
Type of neuroglia in the CNS that produces myelin
Oligodendrocyte
Type of neuroglia that surrounds an axon of a peripheral nerve, forming the neurilemma & myelin
