| basal lamina | thin layer og collagen and glycoprotein separates Schwann call and entire muscle cell from surrounding tissues, contains acetylcholinesterase that breaks down AH after contraction causing relaxation turning off contraction |
| spastic paralysis | a state of continual contraction of the muscles, possible suffocation. example: tetanus |
| flaccis paralysis | a state in which the muscles are limp and cannot contract, Example: botulism |
| length tension relationship | the amount of tension generated by a muscle and the forece of contraction depends on how stretched or contracted it was before it was stimulated |
| muscle tone | central nervous system continually monitors and adjusts the length of the resting muscle, and maintains a state of partial contraction called muscle tone |
| causes of rigor mortis | deteriorating sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca, deteriorating sarcolemma allows Ca to reenter cytosol, Ca activates myosin-actin cross bridging, muscle contracts but cannot relax |
| what is the afferent neuron and decribe the direction the impulse travels | sensory neuron, brings the impuls to the central nervous system |
| where is the trigger zone on a neuron? | axon hillock |
| what is the function of dendrites and axons | dentrites recieve signals from other neurons or sensory molecules and axons transfer impulses away from the soma |
| what are the glial cells that myelinate neurons of the CNS and PNS? | CNS: oligodentrocites PNS: schwann |
| why do CNS neurons not regenerate | because they have no schwann cells to make the regeneration tube |
| what happens at the neuron level to cause multiple sclerosis? | oligodendrocites and myelin sheaths in the CNS deteriorate. myelin is replaced by hardened scar tissue, and nerve conduction is disrupted |
| main structure of the PNS (peripheral nervous system) | all the nervous system except for the brain and spinal cord, composed of nerves and ganglia |
| main structure of the CNS (central nervous system) | brain and spinal cord inclosed by cranium and vertebral column |
| what is the function of the sensory division | carries sensory signals from various receptors to the CNS |
| what is the function of the motor division | carries signals from the CNS to gland and muscle cells that carry out the bodies response |
| what is the function of the visceral sensory division | carries signals from the viscera of the thoracic and abdominal cavities |
| what is the function of the somatic sensory division? | carries signals from receptors in the skin, muscles, bones, and joints |
| what is the function of the visceral motor division | carries signals to glands, cardiac muscles, and smooth muscles. involuntary |
| what is the function of the somatic motor division | carries signals to the skeletal muscles |
| what is the function of the sympathetic division | arous body for action. accelerates heartbeat and respiration while inhibiting digestive and urinary systems |
| what is the function of the parasympathetic division | has calming affect. slows heartrate and breathing. stimulates digestive and urinary systems |
| sensory neurons | afferent. specialized to detect stimuli and transmit information about them to the CNS |

| satelite cells PNS | surround the neurosomas in ganglia of the PNS. provide electrical insulation around the soma. regulate the chemical enviroment of the neurons |
| relationship between tumors and glial cells | tumors are masses of rapidly dividing cells. mature neurons have little or no capasity for mitosis and seldom form tumors |
| myelation in PNS | schwann cells spiral repeatedly around a single nerve fiber |
| myelation in CNS | oligodenrocites reach out to myelinate several nerve fibers in its immediate vicinity |
| why is myelination important | myelination in PNS allows motor cells to regenrate |
| what causes multiple sclerosis? | oligodendrocites and myelin sheaths in the CNS deteriorate. myelin is replaced by scar tissue and nerve conduct is disrupted |
| what happens in Tay Sach's disease? | abnormal accumulation of glycolipid in myelin sheath which disrupts nerve signals |

| where are slow signals generally used? | supply the stomache and dilate the pupil were speed is less of an issue |
| where are fast signals generally used? | suppl skeletal muscles and transport sensory (vision and balance) |
| what limits nerve regenration in CNS? | no myelin sheath which allow cell regeneration |
| how does the generation tube assist nerve regeneration? | guides the growing sprout back to the original target cells and reestablishes synaptic contact |
| what is nerve growth factor? | a protien secreted by a gland, muscle, and glial cells and picked up by the axon terminals of the neurons. it prevents apoptosis (programed cell death) in growing neurons enabling them to make contact with their target cells |
| electrophysiology | cellular mechanisms for producing electrical potantials and currents |
| electrical potential | a difference in the concentration of charged particles between one point and another |
| electrical current | a flow of charged particles from one point ot another |
| why is resting membrane potential negative? | uequal electrolyte distribution between extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid. there are more potasium atoms on the inside and more sodium atoms on the outside |
| at rest were is the greatest concentration of K | inside |
| at rest were is the greatest concentration of ICF? | inside |
| at rest were is the greatest concentration of Na? | outside |
| at rest were is the greatest concentration of ECF? | outside |
| local potential | graded:proportional to stimulus strength, decremental: get weaker the farther they spread from point of stimulation, reversible: when stimulation ceases K returns the cell to its normal resting potential |
| action potential | follows all or none law: if thresh hold is reached neuron fires at full potential, nondecremental: do not get weaker with distance, irreversible: once started goes to completion and cannot stop |
| when does depolarization in a neuron occur? | during an action potential when polarity is reversed from RMP |
| when does repolarization occur? | when the outflow of K shifts the voltage back to negative numbers returning it towards RMP |
| when does hyperpolarization occur? | when K gate stay open longer than the NA gates and it drops the membrane voltage 1 or 2 mV and makes it more negative than the original RMP |
| absolute refractory period | no stimulus of any strength will trigger AP |
| relatively refractory period | only especially strong stimulus will trigger new AP |
