| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Neurons are responsible for responsible for receiving (BLANK) from the external world, for sending (BLANK) to our muscles, and for transforming and relaying the (BLANK) at every step in between | sensory input, motor commands, electrical signals |
| Glia provides physical and metabolic support to neurons, including neuronal insulation and communication, and (BLANK AND BLANK) transport. | nutrient and waste |
| The main purpose of astrocytes is to maintain a (BLANK) | stable chemical environment |
| The elaborate local processes of (BLANK) gives them a star-like appearances | astrocytes |
| (BLANK) forms a lipid sheath around some (but not all) axons | oligodendrocytes |
| Dendrites (BLANK) messages | recieve |
| The grey matter is also called | cortex |
| the brain and the spinal chord make up the (BLANK) | central nervous system |
| The peripheral nervous system is composed of bundles of (BLANK) | axons |
| nerves that originate from the brain | cranial nerves |
| Nuerons differ from other cells because they do not (BLANK) | replicate |
| The PNS is made up of two systems: the (BLANK) and (BLANK) | somatic, autonomic |
| The autonomic system is also made up of two systems: (BLANK) and (BLANK) | sympathetic, parasympathetic |
| The sympathetic nervous system activates the body's (BLANK) response | fight-or-flight |
| During fight-or-flight, non-essential systems, such as digestive and immune, (BLANK) | shut down |
| The (blank) splits the brain into two hemispheres | longitudinal fissure |
| The (BLANK) nervous system regulates house keeping, ie rest and digest | Parasympathetic |
| The four lobes of the brain are; | parietal, occipital, temporal, frontal |
| (BLANK) protects the brain against deformation, removes weight, and provides a constant chemical environment | cebrospinal fluid |
| an accumulation of CSF in the brain is called | hydrocephalus |
| hydrocephalus can be caused by G,D,M,T,T | genetic abnormalities, developmental disorders, meningitis, tumors, traumatic head injury |
| The nervous system is made up of (BLANK) and (BLANK) | neurons, glia |
| the temporal lobe is responsible for recieving and interpreting (BLANK) | sound |
| Neurons communicate with target cells through (BLANK) | synapses |
| the corpus collosum is a band of (BLANK) that (BLANK) the two hemispheres of the brain | myelenated nerve fibers, connect |
| ventricles are structures that produce (BLANK) and help transport it around the cranial cavity | cebrospinal fluid |
| The fluid-filled (BLANK) help keep the brain buoyant and cushioned. | ventricles |
| In (BLANK), hydrocephulus causes a rapid increase in head size | infants |
| the frontal lobe is responsible for higher cognitive functions, which include MEIPSM | memory, emotional, impulse control, problem solving, social interaction, motor function |
| Located at the back of the the skull, (BLANK) is primarily responsible for visual processing | occipital lobe |
| The parietal lobe is the primary lobe concerned with (BLANK) | interpreting sensory input |
| A gyrus is a (BLANK) on the brain | ridge |
| A (BLANK) is a a lesser groove on the brain | sulcus |
| A fissure is a (BLANK) on the brain | deep groove |
| A group of neurons form a (BLANK) | nerve |
| Nerves are either (BLANK) or (BLANK) | sensory, motor |
| the neuron cell body is also called the (BLANK) | soma |
