Chapter 11: Functional Organization of Nervous Tissue
Clicking on the link above will take you to an interactive flashcard site, but the flashcard list will differ from my list shown below. You should know the terms in my list, even if they don't appear on flashcards.

This list is (obviously) alphabetized. Here is the same list, only randomized for studying. You should randomize the list to avoid memorizing terms based on their position in the list.
