The nervous system and all of its glory in theory

        Help!  

Question
Answer
The brain and the Spinal cord   Central Nervous system (CNS)  
🗑
Everything but the Brain and spinal cord   Peripheral Nervous system (PNS)  
🗑
Leave CNS and feed into the PNS into an effect that responds to the nerve signal   Motor signals  
🗑
Come from the PNS and feed into the CNS for interpretation   Sensory signals  
🗑
Two categorys that the PNS (Periperhal Nervous system) is divided into   Autonomic and Somatic  
🗑
Two categorys that Autonomic is divided into   sympathetic NS and parasympathetic NS  
🗑
Generally stimulatory increased heart rate, vasocontriction systemically but casodilation to skeletal and heart muscles, increased respiratory rate, slows down digestive system, dilated pupils   sympathetic NS  
🗑
generally inhibitory- vasodilation systemically (low blood pressoure) but casoconstriciton to the muscles, pupile constriction, slow down heart and respiration. Stimulates the digestive system   parasympathetic NS  
🗑
The conducting fiber in the Neron   Axon  
🗑
The actual transmitters   Axon terminals  
🗑
They make the myelin   Schwann's Cells  
🗑
an insulating fatty layer that speeds transmission   Myelin Sheath  
🗑
support cells for neurons in both the CNS and PNS these cells undergo mitosis   Neuroglia/Glial cells  
🗑
phagocytic- used to remove dead tissue and attack invaders, the smallest of glial cells   mmicroglia  
🗑
produce the myelin sheath, the most common glial cells   ogliodendrocytes  
🗑
involved in supporting neurons in transmitting impulses (electrolyte balance, make up the blood brain barrier   astrocytes  
🗑
nvolved in producing the cerebrospinal fluid for the blood - CSF barrier   ependymal cells  
🗑
the space that is between two nerves when they meet   synapses  
🗑
these cells support the ganglia (clusters of nerve cell bodies)   satellite cells  
🗑
the two types of synapses   axo-dendritic or axo-axonic  
🗑
An autoimmune disease where the immune system attaks the ACH receptorys. The muscles become progressively weaker over the years.   Myasthenia gravis  
🗑
Caused by the bacteria Clostridium tentanus they produce a toxin that stops the affected neurons from releasing the inhibitory neurotranmitters GABA and glycine. causes SPASTIC PARALYSIS   tetanus  
🗑
a form of food poisoning caused by the Clostridium botulinum. the toxin produced by these bacteria is the most powerful known to mankind one drop can kill 50,000 mice.   botulism  
🗑
how a neurotransmitter is removed from a synapse when it is not needed   enzyme degradation, simple diffusion, reuptake  
🗑
controls appetite, reproductive behavior, inhibtory or modulatory, muscular movement, sleep, and emotional, states such as anxiety   serotonin  
🗑
Mostly excitatory inhibatory at some sites, the releasing nerons of this transmitter degenerate people with alzheimer disease in which memory, speech and perceptual abilities decline.   Acetylcholine  
🗑
Excitatory or inhibitory, CNS internerons involved in diverse brain ad body functions such as memory, mood, sensory, perception, muslce movements etc   Norepinephrine  
🗑
mostly excitatory, increased attention,euphoria   dopamine  
🗑
excitatory, memory and learning   Glutamate  
🗑
inhibitory, in mammalian, same cicuits of glutamate   (GABA) Gammaaaminobutryic acid  
🗑
modulates action of other neuro transmitters   ATP  
🗑
inhibitory, modulate pain, response, inducing euphoria in some cases, like during sexual intercourse of physical stress (child birth or extended physical exercise)   Endorphins  
🗑
inhibitory, modulate pain respose (subclass of endorphins   EnKephalins  
🗑
excitatory, intense, persistent or severe pain,   Substance P  
🗑
modulatory, relaxes smooth muscles in walls of blood vessels causes vessels to dilate, increases blood flow, contributes to make nervous system functions such as learning, sensory responses and muscles movements   Nitrous oxide (NO)  
🗑
directly innervate skeletal muscles   somatic motor neurons  
🗑
innervate face and neck muscles   special visceral motor neurons  
🗑
indirectly innervate cardiac muscles and smooth sucles of the viscera (arteries) and synapse onto neurons of the ganglia of the autonomic nervous system that will then innervate visceral muscles and some glands.   General visceral motor neurons  
🗑
Four categories of the sensory nerves   General somatic sensory neurons, Special somatic sensory neurons General visceral sensory neurons Special visceral sensory neurons  
🗑
impulses of pain, touch, vibration and temperature from the body surface and impulses of muscle sense, tendon sense and joint sense.   General somatic sensory neurons  
🗑
hearing, equilibrium, vision   Special somatic sensory neurons  
🗑
stretch, pain, temperature, chemical changes and irritation in viscera; nausea and hunger   General visceral sensory neurons  
🗑
taste and smell   Special visceral sensory neurons  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
