THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| THE FUNCTIONS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM ARE | INTERPRETATION, PROCESSING AND RESPONSE |
| ANOTHER NAME FOR NERVE CELLS | NEURONS |
| HOW MANY TYPES OF NEURONS ARE THERE IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. WHAT ARE THEY | 3. SENSORY,MOTOR, AND MIXED |
| WHAT ARE AFFERENT NEURONS | SENSORY NEURONS.RELAYS TO THE CNS |
| WHAT ARE EFFERENT NEURONS | MOTOR NEURONS. RELAYS FROM THE CNS |
| WHAT ARE MIXED NEURONS | THEY CAN CARRY IMPULSES TO AND FROM THE CNS |
| WHAT IS MYELIN | PROTECTIVE COATING ON THE AXON OF THE CELL |
| WHAT ARE NEUROGLIA | NERVE GLUE. HELPER CELLS FOR THE NEURONS |
| WHAT NEUROGLIA CELL MAKES MYELIN | OLIGODENDROCYTES |
| WHAT DO MOTOR NEURONS DO | CONDUCT IMPULSES (MESSAGES) FROM THE CNS TO THE BODY (EFFERENT) |
| WHAT IS A STIMULUS OR STIMULI | CHANGES OCCURING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE BODY |
| THESE COVER THE BRAIN AND THE SPINAL CORD | MENINGES |
| WHAT IS THE CNS (CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM) | THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD |
| WHAT IS PNS (PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM) | CRANIAL AND SPINAL NERVES |
| NAME THE DIVISIONS OF THE PNS | SOMATIC AND AUTONOMIC |
| WHAT DOES THE SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM CONTROL | SKELETAL MUSCLE.VOLUNTARY FUNCTIONS |
| WHAT DOES THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM CONTROL | THE INVOLUNTARY BODY FUNCTIONS |
| WHAT DIVISION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM CONNECTS THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD | PERIPHERAL |
| THE FOLDS OF THE BRAIN ARE CALLED | GYRI |
| WHAT ARE THE GROOVES BETWEEN THE RIDGES OF THE BRAIN | SULCI |
| WHAT ARE THE THREE LAYERS OF THE MENINGES. NAME THEM FROM OUTER TO INNER | DURA MATER, ARACHNOID MATER, PIA MATER |
| THE SYMPATHETIC AND PARASYMPATHETIC ARE DIVISIONS OF THIS | AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM |
| A RESTING NEURON WAITING FOR A STIMULUS IS | POLARIZED |
| THE SPACE BETWEEN THE AXON OF ONE NEURON AND THE DENDRITE OF ANOTHER IS | THE SYNAPSE |
| WHAT PART OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE "FIGHT OR FLIGHT" RESPONSE | SYMPATHETIC |
| WHAT CELLS SUPPORT THE NERVOUS SYSTEM | NEUROGLIA |
| WHATS THE NAME OF THE CHEMICALS CONTAINED IN THE AXON TERMINALS | NEUROTRANSMITTERS |
| WHAT IS THE CNS CALLED DURING FETAL DEVELOPMENT | NEURAL TUBE |
| THE FATTY COVERING THAT INSULATES THE AXONS IS CALLED | MYELIN |
| WHAT ARE AXONS | THE "TAIL" OF A CELL. CONDUCT NERVE IMPULSES AWAY FROM THE CELL BODY |
