Coordination / Conduct electrical impulses throughout the nervous system
Central Nervous System / Gaps
Peripheral Nervous System / Exist only in the CNS
Receptor / The maintenance of a specific range of physiological processes
Stimulus / Link (internal and external) stimuli to the CNS
Nerve / Sensations from internal or external sources
Neuron / The interaction of (living) body systems to enable effective function
Sensory Neuron / Responsible for detecting stimuli
Motor Neuron / Collection of neurons
Interneuron / The brain and spinal cord
Effector / Link between neurons across a synapse
Synapse / Information from (internal and external) stimuli is transmitted to the CNS via nerves for processing
Neurotransmitter / Direction of electric impulse conduction is away from the CNS
Homeostasis / Response to stimulus
