Question
Answer
CNS   Brain & SC  
🗑
PNS   everything but Brain & SC  
🗑
Somatic NS   Skeletal muscle  
🗑
Autonomic NS   viscera & smooth muscle  
🗑
Sympathetic   Fight/flight  
🗑
Parasympathetic   rest and repose  
🗑
cns to pns   motor/efferent  
🗑
pns to cns   sensory/afferent  
🗑
ganglia   cluster of nerve cells  
🗑
neuron   generates nerve impulse  
🗑
neuroglia   glue that holds NS together  
🗑
Cell body   main part of neuron containing nucleus  
🗑
axon   "tail" of the neuron where impulse travels down  
🗑
dendrite   finger-like projections  
🗑
Synaptic end bulb   where neurotransmitters are stored  
🗑
synaptic cleft   space between end bulb and effector  
🗑
interneuron   CONNECTS CNS & PNS  
🗑
Oligiodendricyte   myelinates several axons in the CNS  
🗑
Schwann cell   myelinates on axon in the PNS  
🗑
multipolar   most abundant neuron, multiple dendrites off of a single cell body  
🗑
Leak channels   non-gated openings in the cell membrane that "leak" sodium and potassium, contribute to resting nerves  
🗑
Na+/K+ pump   active transport of sodium and potassium across the cell membrane  
🗑
depolarization   inward movement of sodium into the cell making it more positive  
🗑
repolarization   outward movement of potassium making the cell more negative  
🗑
hyperpolarization   cell is more negative than normal, takes a stronger impulse to stimulate  
🗑
summation   more than one stimulus to a cell  
🗑
temporal summation   more than one stimulus from the same source  
🗑
depolarization   an excitatory process  
🗑
repolarization/hyperpolarization   inhibitory process  
🗑
absolute refractory period   gates closed/no impulse possible  
🗑
"C" fibers   slowest nerve impulse  
🗑
"A" fibers   fastest nerve impulses - large and myelinated  
🗑
nodes of Ranvier   unmyelinated portion of axon where impulse jumps  
🗑
salutory conduction   jumping from node to node  
🗑
ligand gates   gates on cell membrane that open/close when a neurotransmitter binds to them  
🗑
neurotransmitters   chemical transmitters that are stored in synaptic end-bulbs  
🗑
synaptic cleft   space btw end bulb and effector  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
