Question
Answer
Thalmus function   superior to hypothalmus and inferior to cerebrum. controls sensory impulses (except smell.)  
🗑
Frontal lobe function   voluntary movement motor area to control movement  
🗑
effects of sympathetic response   dominate in stressful situations, heart rate increases, vasodilation in skeletal muscles, bronchioles dialate, liver changes glycogen to glucose, digestive secretions decrease, peristalsis slows, vasoconstriction in skin  
🗑
neurotransmitters   enables nerve impulses to cross synapses  
🗑
cranial nerve I   olfactory-smell  
🗑
cranial nerve II   optic-sight  
🗑
cranial nerve III   Oculometer-movement of eyeball  
🗑
cranial nerve IV   trochler-movement of eyeball  
🗑
cranial nerve V   trigreminal-sensation in face, scalp, and teeth, contraction of chewing muscles  
🗑
cranial nerve VI   abducens-movement of eyeball  
🗑
cranial nerve VII   facial-sense of taste, contraction of facial muscles, secretion of saliva  
🗑
cranial nerve VIII   acoustic or vestibulocohlear- hearing or equilibrim  
🗑
cranial nerve IX   glossopharyngeal- sense of taste, sensory for cardiac, respiratory, bp reflexes, contraction of pharynx, secretion of saliva  
🗑
cranial nerve X   vagus-sensory in cardiac, respiratory, bp reflexes, sensory and motor to larynx, decreases heart rate, contraction of alimentary tube, increases digestive secretions  
🗑
cranial nerve XI   accessory- contraction of neck and motor to larynx (speaking)  
🗑
cranial nerve XII   hypoglossal- movement of tongue  
🗑
cerebrum function   movement, sensation, learning, memory  
🗑
function of nervous system   to detect change and feel sensation, initiate appropriate responses to change, organize info for immediate use and store for future use  
🗑
neuron anatomy   cell body, dedrites, axon, schwann cells, myelin sheath, neurolemma  
🗑
interneuron   entirely within the cns- carries only sensory or motor impulses or to integrate these functions  
🗑
reflex arc   pathway nerve impulses travel when a reflex is elicited  
🗑
5 essential parts of a reflex arc   receptors, sensory neurons, cns,motor neurons, effector  
🗑
outermost layer of meninges   fibrous connective tissue called dura mater  
🗑
connection for the cerebral hemisphere   corpus callosum-band of nerve fibers that connects right and left cerebral hemisphere  
🗑
cerebrum lobes   frontal,parietal,temporal,occipital  
🗑
frontal lobes   voluntary movement  
🗑
parietal lobes   sensory  
🗑
temporal   smell  
🗑
occipital   visual , thinking  
🗑
myelin producing cells   schwann cells, oligodendrocytes,neuroglia(glia cells) microglia, astrocyte  
🗑
blood brain barrier   prevents potentially harmful waste products in the blood from diffusing out in to brain tissue  
🗑
synaptic transmission   small gap or pace between the axon and neuron and the dendrites or cell body of the next neuron is the synapse. transmission is carried from 1 to the next by neurotransmitter . a chemical inactivator is use to prevent unwanted continuous impulses  
🗑
Nueron insulator   schwann cells,myelin sheaths  
🗑
cerebellum function   movement  
🗑
neuron efferent   sensory  
🗑
neuron afferent   motor  
🗑
chemical impulse occurs at   synapse  
🗑
electrical impulse occurs at   neurons  
🗑
white matter   made of myelinated axons and dendrites of interneurons  
🗑
cerebral spinal fluid and anatomy   in the central canal and is continuous with cavities in the brain called ventricles. works as an insulator  
🗑
division of nervous systems   central, peripheral(including autonomic)  
🗑
mixed nerve   contains both sensory and motor neurons. most of peripheral nerves are mixed nerves(sciatic)  
🗑
patellar reflex   knee jerk-tap on patellar tendon just below the knee cap causes extension of the lower leg. this is a stretch reflex  
🗑
thalmus   is superior to the hypothalmus and inferior to the cerebrum. the third ventricle is a narrow cavity that passes through both thalmus and hypothalmus. functions are concerned with sensation.  
🗑
frontal lobe function   motor area that generates impulses for voluntary movement of hands and face.  
🗑


   

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.
