Question
Answer
What are the functions of the CNS   1) Sensory input 2) integration 3) motor output  
🗑
Central Nervous System includes   1) brain and spinal cord 2) integration and command center  
🗑
Peripheral Nervous system PNS   1)spinal and cranial nerves 2)carries messages to and from CNS  
🗑
Sensory Afferent Division of PNS   1)somatic afferent fibers 2)visceral afferent fibers  
🗑
Somatic afferent fibers   1) convey impulses from skin , skeletal muscles and joins  
🗑
Motor/ efferent division of PNS   carries impulses from CNS to effector organs  
🗑
MOTOR division of PNS   *somatic/voluntary *autonomic /involuntary  
🗑
Autonomic/Involuntary Nervous system   1) sympathetic 2) parasympathetic  
🗑
sympathetic   fight or flight  
🗑
parasympathetic   rest and digest  
🗑
Neurons (nerve cells)   *excitable *transmit electrical signals *have a membrane potential * life long *amitotic  
🗑
neuroglia ( glial cells)   support cells  
🗑
CNS Neuroglia   1)Astrocytes 2)oligodendrytes 3)ependymal 4)microglia  
🗑
Astrocytes   * most abundant * cling to capillaries, neurons, synaptic ends *determine capillary permeability *Make up blood, brain barrier  
🗑
microglia   *immunity and defense towards injured neurons  
🗑
Ependymal cells   * ciliated *line central cavities of brain and spinal cord *separate IF from Cerebrospinal fluid  
🗑
oligodendrocytes   *branched * Myelin sheaths in CNS  
🗑
Satellite cells ( PNS)   * surround cell bodies of PNS  
🗑
Shwann Cells (Neurolemmocytes)   Myelin sheaths in PNS. Outer layer forms the neurilemma  
🗑
Dendrites   *receive input *branched ( like a tree) * convey electrical signals towards cell body  
🗑
Nissl Bodies   Rough ER  
🗑
Cell body name   Soma,Perikaryon  
🗑
Axon   Conducting region of a neuron Generates and transmits AP away from the cell body  
🗑
Terminal Branches (telodendria)   help transmit signal to many places  
🗑
Nodes of Ranvier   gaps between Schwann cells  
🗑
Myelin Sheaths   Protect and electrically insulate the axon Increase speed of nerve impulse transmission  
🗑
MS is caused by   myelin breakdown  
🗑
Saltatory conduction   signal leaps from one node to the next ( fast)  
🗑
Clusters of cell bodies in CNS   Nuclei  
🗑
Clusters of cell bodies in PNS   Ganglia  
🗑
Bundles of processes (axons) in CNS   Tract  
🗑
Bundles of processes (axons) in PNS   Nerve  
🗑
Axon hillock   cone shaped area from which axon arises  
🗑
Functional classification of neurons   1)sensory/ afferent 2) interneurons ( association neurons) 3)efferent/motor  
🗑
multipolar neurons   one axon. Many dendrites. Most abundant  
🗑
Bipolar   one axon, one dendrite. Rare . Retina of eye  
🗑
unipolar (pseudounipolar)   single, short process with two branches  
🗑
Resting membrane potential voltage   -70mV  
🗑
Resting state ( polarized)   only leakage channels open. K+ in, Na+ out  
🗑
Depolarization   NA+ channels open. * Na+ comes in *inside becomes + * this increases probability of an AP  
🗑
Repolarization   *Na+ channels close *K+ channels open *K+ leaves cell *internal negativity is restored  
🗑
Ionic Conditions are restored with the..   NA+, K+ pump  
🗑
Hyperpolarization   inside of membrane becomes more negative. * reduces probability of an AP  
🗑
Ions move   along electrochemical gradients  
🗑
electrical gradients   move towards opposite charge  
🗑
there are more leakage channels for   K+ so it leaves more during rest  
🗑
mechanically gated channels change in   shape  
🗑
the synaptic cleft prevents   an impulse from being directly transmitted from one neuron to another.  
🗑
pre synaptic neuron   transmits signal towards synapse ( synaptic cleft)  
🗑
post synaptic neuron   transmits signal away from synapse  
🗑
temporal summation   one impulse after another ( rapid fire order)  
🗑
spacial summation   neuron is stimulates by a large number of terminals at the same time  
🗑
Excitatory post synaptic potential   helps cause an action potential  
🗑
Inhibitory post synaptic potential   inhibits AP  
🗑
Absolute refractory period happens during   depolarization  
🗑
relative refractory period happens during   repolarization  
🗑
Knob like axon terminals are also called   synaptic knobs,boutons  
🗑
anterograde   towards axon terminal  
🗑
retrograde   towards the cell body  
🗑
white matter   *myelinated. *Fast  
🗑
resting membrane potential is defined as   potential difference across the membrane of a resting cell  
🗑
a reduction in membrane potential towards 0 is defined as   depolarization  
🗑
repolarization restores   resting electrical conditions  
🗑
termination of neurotransmitter effect   1) degradation of enzymes 2)reuptake by astrocytes 3)diffusion away from synaptic cleft  
🗑
acetylcholine   most common neurotransmitter  
🗑
Neurilemma   peripheral bulge of Schwann cell cytoplasm  
🗑
thin fibers are   unmyelinated  
🗑
Functional division of PNS   sensory(afferent) division motor(efferent) division  
🗑
What are the 2 divisions of the Autonomic NS   sympathetic parasympathetic  
🗑
Ion flow creates an   electrical current  
🗑
In graded potentials   Magnitude varies directly with stimulus strength  
🗑
Ensures that each AP is an all-or-none event   absolute refractory period  
🗑
Group A fibers   Large diameter, myelinated  
🗑
Group C fibers   small, unmyelinated  
🗑
play roles in emotional behaviors and biologial clock   dopamine,norepinephrine, epinephrine, serotonin, histamine.  
🗑
