  • acetylcholine

    A chemical substance in the body tissues that facilitates the transmission of nerve impulses from one nerve to another. It has a stimulant (or excitatory) effect on some parts of the body (such as skeletal muscles) and a depressant (or inhibitory) effect on other parts of the body (such as the heart muscle); also known as a neurotransmitter.

  • afferent nerves

    Transmitters of nerve impulses toward the CNS; also known as sensory nerves

  • agnosia

    Loss of mental ability to understand sensory stimuli (such as sight, sound, or touch) even though the sensory organs themselves are functioning properly. For example, the inability to recognize or interpret the images the eye is seeing is called optic agnosia.

  • agraphia

    The inability to convert one's thoughts into writing.

  • alexia

    The inability to understand written words.
