Question
Answer
Divisions of Nervous System   CNS, PNS  
🗑
The CNS contains what   brain and spinal cord  
🗑
The PNS contains what   cranial nerves and spinal nerves  
🗑
the PNS is subdivided into   Somatic and Autonomic nervous systems  
🗑
Nervous system   maintenance of homeostasis through stimuli  
🗑
Somatic Nervous System SNS   voluntary; Effectors: Skeletal Muscles Regulates muscle  
🗑
Autonomic Nervous System ANS   Involuntary; Effectors: Smooth muscle, Cardiac muscle, and glands (organs) "Visceral Nervous System" Regulates organs, heart, glands  
🗑
Subdivisions of ANS   Parasympathetic and sympathetic  
🗑
Sympathetic   enables response to stress "fight or flight" Emergency situation Adregenic  
🗑
parasympathetic   steady pace, "rest & digest" Functions most time cholinergic  
🗑
neuron   basic unit, function cell has a cell body. Nucelous  
🗑
dendrites   fiber, carried towards cell  
🗑
axon   fiber, carried away from cell  
🗑
myelin   fatty material insulates and protects "white matter"  
🗑
PNS cells   Schwann cells  
🗑
Schwann cells   produce myelin  
🗑
node   speeds up conduction of impulses; gap  
🗑
neurelimmma   outermost covering aids in repair of PNS  
🗑
White matter vs. Gray matter   white matter- myelinated gray matter- non-myelineated, all neuron bodies  
🗑
3 function of neuron   sensory, motor, and internerons  
🗑
Sensory   Afferent, conduct impulses toward CNS  
🗑
motor   Efferent, conduct impulses away from CNS and glands, Exit  
🗑
interneurons   central, relay info from within CNS  
🗑
Nerve   bundle of fibers in PNS  
🗑
Tract   bundle of fibers in CNS  
🗑
mixed nerves   PNS, most cranial, all spinal, both motor and sensory  
🗑
neuroglia   type of cell, "helper cell". connective tissue protects and nourishes nervous tissue, supports and binds to other sturctures, aid in repair of cells, acts as phagocytes to remove pathogens and impurities, regulate compostion of fluids  
🗑
impulse   stimulus, nerve impulse, membrane impulse  
🗑
synapse   point of junction between axon and dendrite  
🗑
Neurotransmitters   parasympathetic- ACH sympathetic- adrenaline, nonadrenaline  
🗑
polarized/ polarization   at rest, waiting  
🗑
depolarized/ depolarization   responding  
🗑
repolarized/ repolarizatoin   recovering  
🗑


   

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.
