Convergence occurs when more than one presynaptic axon syn-apses with a single postsynaptic neuron, allows information from several different pathways to be funneled into a single pathway.

Divergence occurs when a single presynaptic axon synapses with many different postsynaptic neurons, allows information from one pathway to be “split” and sent to different destinations in the nervous system.

Question	Answer
Convergence	Convergence occurs when more than one presynaptic axon syn-apses with a single postsynaptic neuron, allows information from several different pathways to be funneled into a single pathway.
Divergence	Divergence occurs when a single presynaptic axon synapses with many different postsynaptic neurons, allows information from one pathway to be “split” and sent to different destinations in the nervous system.
Thalamus	produce conscious recognition of the crude, less critical sensations of pain, temperature, and touch
Hypothalamus	link between the psyche(mind) and the soma (body),pleasure centers or reward centers for the primary drives such as eat-ing, drinking, and sex.
Extrapyramidal Tracts	They consist of all motor tracts from the brain to the spinal cord LMNs except the corticospinal (pyramidal) tracts, consist of numerous relays of motor neurons between motor areas of the cortex, basal nuclei, thalamus, cerebellum, and brainstem.
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)	that carries efferent signals to the autonomic, or visceral, effectors—cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, epithelial and adipose and other tissues. Sympathetic division and Central nervous system (CNS)Brain and spinal cord
Gustatory Cells	The taste receptors are located around the small structures known as papillae found on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, upper esophagus, the cheek, and epiglottis.
Haldane effect	refers to the increased total CO2 loading caused by a decrease in Po2.
anchors point of chordae	located inside the heart's ventricles. Specifically, they are found in the right and left ventricles, attached at one end to the papillary muscles, ensures valves remain closed.
Myelin	is a lipid-rich material that in most vertebrates surrounds the axons of neurons to insulate them and increase the rate at which electrical impulses (called action potentials) pass along the axon
