Neurological 2

QuestionAnswer
What does Central nervous system contain? brain, spinal cord
what consists peripheral nervous system? sensory nerves, motor nerves, autonomic nerves
what consists autonomic division of peripheral nervous system? sympathetic, parasympathetic
What kind of cells make up central nerve system? neuron, glial cells
What is the function of glial cells? provide support and nutrition and oxygen, maintain homeostasis, form myelin, signal transmission, destroy pathogens
which type of glial cells are specialized macrophages and exists all reions of brain and spinal cord, multiply when there is damage, and mobile within the brain? microglia
which type of glial cells provide the insulation to axons in the central nervous system? oligodendroglia
which type of glial cells clean up brain "debris", transport nutrients to neurons, hold neurons in place, digest parts of dead neurons, and regulate content of extracellular space? astrocytes
Which type of glial cells line the cavities of the CNS, make up the walls of the ventricles, secrete CSF, beat their cilia to help circulate CSF? ependymal cells
List glial cells in CNS microglia, oligodendroglia, astrocytes, ependymal cells
which type of glial cells are similar to oligodendrocytes, but provide myelination to azons in the PNS, also have phagocytic chapabilities? Schwann cells
which type of glial cells are small cells that line the exterior surface of PNS neurons and help regulate external chemical environment? satellite cells
which type of glial cells are related to gastrointestinal motor activity? enteric glial cells
neurons have axons and dentrites, and glial cells have ________. axons
neurons can generate action potentials and glial cells __________, but they have a _______________. cannot, resting potential
Neurons have ______ that use neurotransmitters, and glial cells do not have those. synapses
what is the process that the part of the axon separated from the neuron's cell nucleus will degenerate if a nerve fiber is cut or crushed? Wallerian degeneration of axons
what is the abnormalities of peripheral nerves which can be secondary to damage of the Schwann cells? segmental demyelination
All axons in the peripheral nervous system are surrounded by a continuous living sheath of Schwann cells. What is this called? neurolemma
Neurolimma play a role in ____________. axon regeneration
axon regeneration only occurs in PNS not CNS. Why? because there are no Schwann cells in CNS.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
