(i) Nerve impulse - It is an electrochemical change occurring in the membrane of a nerve fibre produced by a stimulus.
(ii) Axon - It is a fibre like process of the neuron which carries impulses away from the cell body.
(iii) Cyton - It is an oval, angular, polygonal or stellate body which contains a large central nucleus.
(iv) Action potential - A momentary change in electrical potential on the surface of a cell, or a nerve or muscle cell, that occurs when it is stimulated, resulting in the transmission of an electrical impulse.
(v) Reflex action - It is an immediate and involuntary response to a stimulus.
(vi) Yellow spot - It is the region of best vision where more cone cells are present.
(vii) Blind spot - It is the region of no image formation because of lack of cone cells.
