🗑
Sensory neurons within PERIPHERAL nerves carry impulses from______ to _____   receptors, CNS  
🗑
Motor neurons within PERIPHERAL nerves carry impulses from the _____ to the _____   CNS, Effectors  
🗑
The effectors of the body are what kind of muscles ?   Smooth, Cardiac, Skeletal  
🗑
The effectors of the body are what kind of Glands ?   Endocrine & Exocrine  
🗑
2 Systems of the body   ANS & Somatic  
🗑
4 things the ANS is responsible for   1. Smooth Muscle 2. Cardiac Muscle 3. Endocrine glands 4. Exocrine Glands  
🗑
The effectors that the ANS is responsible for can function Voluntarily or Involuntarily ?   Involuntarily  
🗑
The term autonomy means ?   Self-government  
🗑
Anatomically the ANS differs from somatic innervation of _______ muscles in one extremely important way.   Skeletal  
🗑
The SOMATIC pathway from the CNS to the skeletal muscle effector involves how many MOTOR neurons ?   1  
🗑
CNS----Motor neuron----> Effector Somatic or ANS   Somatic Pathway  
🗑
In the ANS the pathway from CNS to effectors involves how many nerouns ?   2  
🗑
A ganglion is ?   collection of neuron cell bodies outside of the CNS  
🗑
The two neurons involved in the ANS   Pre-ganglionic & Post- Ganglionic  
🗑
The name of the neuron that has its cell body in the CNS and courses its way to the Autonomic Ganglion is called the ?   Pre-ganglionic Neuron  
🗑
The neuron that has its Cell Body in the Autonomic Ganglion and carries its impulse from that ANG to the effector is called the   Post-Ganglionic Neuron  
🗑
The ANS is divided into TWO separates systems ?   Sympathetic and Parasympathetic  
🗑
5 Reasons why the ANS is divided into 2 separate systems   1. Anatomical 2. Ganglia 3. Length of Fibers 4. Actions 5. Number of Organs Activated
