A fibrous wrapping of a muscle, extended as a flat sheet of connective tissue. Merges with fibrous wrappings of other muscles.

Muscles that move the hand, wrist and fingers. Extrinsic means "from the outside"

Central nervous system (CNS)

the structural and functional center of the entire nervous system. Consisting of the brain and spinal cord

Somatic nervous system (SNS)

Regulates the somatic effectors, which are the skeletal muscles.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

Cushion of fluid around brain and spinal cord.

31 pairs. Connected to the spinal cord.

12 pairs. Connect to the undersurface of the brain, mostly on the brainstem. Pass through holes in the cranial activity allowing them to extend to or from their peripheral destinations.

free nerve endings that serve as the primary sensory receptors for pain. Nerve fibers that carry pain impulses from nociceptors to the brain can be divided into two types—acute or fast (A) pain fibers and chronic or slow (B) pain fibers.

Growth hormone (GH)/Somatotropin (STH)

promotes bodily growth indirectly by stimulating the liver and other tissues to pro-duce another hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which, in turn, produces most of the effects attributed to GH.

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

pro-motes and maintains the growth and development of its target gland—the thyroid. TSH also causes the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormone (TH).

a collection of mechanisms that influence the active and changing—or dynamic—circulation of blood

is the clear, watery-appearing fluid found in the lymphatic vessels. Interstitial fluid (IF), which fills the spaces between the cells, is not the simple fluid it seems to be.

Near the roof of the nasal cavity and over the superior turbinate and opposing portion of the septum, the mucosa turns pale and has a yellowish tint.

Throat. It is a tubelike structure about 12.5 cm (5 inches) long that extends from the base of the skull to the esophagus and lies just anterior to the cervical vertebrae

Question	Answer
Aponeurosis	A fibrous wrapping of a muscle, extended as a flat sheet of connective tissue. Merges with fibrous wrappings of other muscles.
Extrinsic Muscles	Muscles that move the hand, wrist and fingers. Extrinsic means "from the outside"
Central nervous system (CNS)	the structural and functional center of the entire nervous system. Consisting of the brain and spinal cord
Somatic nervous system (SNS)	Regulates the somatic effectors, which are the skeletal muscles.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)	Cushion of fluid around brain and spinal cord.
Spinal nerves	31 pairs. Connected to the spinal cord.
Cranial nerves	12 pairs. Connect to the undersurface of the brain, mostly on the brainstem. Pass through holes in the cranial activity allowing them to extend to or from their peripheral destinations.
Nociceptor	free nerve endings that serve as the primary sensory receptors for pain. Nerve fibers that carry pain impulses from nociceptors to the brain can be divided into two types—acute or fast (A) pain fibers and chronic or slow (B) pain fibers.
Anosmia	complete lack of smell
Growth hormone (GH)/Somatotropin (STH)	promotes bodily growth indirectly by stimulating the liver and other tissues to pro-duce another hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which, in turn, produces most of the effects attributed to GH.
