Anatomy

week 6-12

What is the primary function of nervous system cells? Neurons transmit signals, and glial cells support them, maintain homeostasis, protect, and assist neuron function.
What process describes the propagation of nerve impulses along a neuron Nerve signaling involves action potentials along axons, neurotransmitter release at synapses, and receptor binding on target cells.
What structures constitute the central nervous system (CNS) ? The brain and spinal cord, responsible for processing and integrating information.
What are the divisions and functions of the autonomic nervous system? Sympathetic (“fight or flight”) and parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) divisions regulate involuntary body functions.
What are general senses and how are they detected ? General senses—such as touch, pain, temperature, and proprioception—are detected by receptors distributed throughout the body.
What do the special senses include, and which organs correspond? Vision (eyes), hearing and balance (ears), smell (nose), and taste (tongue).
How is endocrine regulation described? Hormones released by endocrine glands travel via the bloodstream to distal target organs to regulate physiological functions.
What is the role of endocrine glands? Glands like the pancreas, thyroid, and adrenals secrete hormones essential for metabolism, growth, stress response, and reproduction.
What are the key properties of blood? Blood consists of plasma and formed elements—red cells, white cells, and platelets—and transports nutrients, gases, and waste
What is the basic structure and function of the heart ? Four-chambered muscular pump; it circulates blood through pulmonary and systemic circuits with coordinated contractions.
What’s the process of the digestive system? Enzymatic breakdown of nutrients in the small intestine and absorption of amino acids, fatty acids, sugars, vitamins, and minerals
