anatomy CH12

QuestionAnswer
sensory info with afferent division
motor commands with efferent division
3 types of afferent receptors: special sensory, visceral sensory, somatic sensory
afferent division uses receptors
efferent division uses effectors
special sensory receptors monitor smell, taste, vision, balance, and hearing
visceral sensory receptors monitor internal organs
somatic sensory receptors monitor skeletal muscles, joints, and skin surface
2 division of efferent division somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system
somatic nervous system commands skeletal muscle
autonomic nervous system has 2 divisions parasympathetic and sympathetic
parasympathetic nervous system commands smooth and cardiac muscle and glands
sympathetic nervous system commands smooth and cardiac muscle, glands, and adipose tissue
enteric nervous system neuron and nerve network within walls of digestive tract
the enteric nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system
the enteric nervous system is special because it can coordinate visceral reflexes without instructions from the CNS
can neurons divide? no, because they do not have centrioles
neurons are ___ lived, have an ____ plasma membrane, and a ___ metabolic rate long, excitable, high
neural stem cells are found active in... nose and hippocampus
perikaryon cytoplasm surrounding neural nucleus
the cytoskeleton of the perikaryon contains neurotubules and neurofilaments
____ extend into dendrites and axon for structural support neurofibrils
the perikaryon contains ____ that provide energy, and synthesize organic materials that include them. neurotransmitters
nissl bodies clusters of the RER and free ribosomes in the soma of the neuron
nissl bodies appear as grey matter
axon hillock the point where the axon reaches the soma
telodendria branches of axon extending towards the postsynaptic cell where axon terminals meet
axons are made of cytoplasmic process
the axoplasm contains neurofibrils, neurotubules, small vesicles, lysosomes, mitochondria, and enzymes
collaterals side branches of axon that end in telodendria
AP pulled away from cell body, towards axon terminals is pulled by the protein kinesin
anterograde AP is pulled away from cell body, towards axon terminals
AP pulled towards the cell body, away from axon terminal and is pulled by the protein dynesin
axonal transport requires ATP
retrograde AP is pulled towards cell body, away from axon terminals
the purpose of retrograde axonal transport is to remove debris from the axon terminal
anaxonic neuron type of neuron that is small, with many dendrites and no axons
anaxonic neurons are found in the brain and special sensory organs
bipolar neuron type of neuron that are small and has a dendrite and axon with the cell body between them
bipolar neurons are found in the special sense organs; rare
unipolar neuron type of long neuron with a singular dendrite axon process with the cell body pinched off to the side
in a unipolar neuron, dendrites converge at initial segment
unipolar neurons are mostly found in the PNS
multipolar neuron type of neuron with multiple dendrites stemming from soma with one axon
multipolar neurons are mostly found in the CNS
ganglion collection of neuron cell bodies in the PNS
sensory neurons are ___ in the PNS afferent
motor neurons are ___ in the PNS efferent
sensory neurons are located in peripheral sensory ganglia

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
