Question
Answer
factors that maintain a resting potential membrane potential   1. unequal distribution of ions in the ECF and cytosol 2. inability of most anions to leave the cell 3. elecrogenic nature of Na/K ATPase  
🗑
sequence of events that generate an action potential   1.depolarizing phase 2.repolarizing phase  
🗑
graded potential   small deviation from the resting membrane potential that make the membrane wither more polarized of less polarized  
🗑
where do graded potentials most offten occure   dendrites and cell body of neuron  
🗑
ionotropic receptor   ion channels that directly bind to the neurotransmitter  
🗑
metabotropic receptors   are G proteins that bind to the neurotransmitter but are not the ion channel. instead, the binding protein initiates ion flow through with in another protein  
🗑
2 classes or neurotransmitters   small-molecule neurtransmitter, neuropeptides  
🗑
three meninges   outermost-dura mater middle-arachnoid mater innermost- pia mater  
🗑
how many pairs of spinal nerves   31, 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, 1 coccygeal  
🗑
posterior root   contains sensory nerve fibers and conduct nerve impulses from the periphery into the spinal cord; the posterior root ganglion contains the cell bodies of the sensory neurons from the periphery  
🗑
anterior root   contains motor neuron axons that conduct impulses from the spinal cord to the periphery; the cell bodies of motor neurons are located in the gray matter of the cord  
🗑
what does the gray matter primarily consist of   cell bodies of neurons and neuroglia and unmyelinated axons and dendrites of association and motor neurons  
🗑
what does the white matter primarily consist of   bundles of myelinated axons of motor and sensory neurons  
🗑
axon connective tissue sheaths   a fiber is a single axon with in an endoneurium, a fascicle is a bundle of fibers within a perineurium, a nerve is a bundle of fascicles within an epineurium  
🗑
five functional components of a reflex arc   receptor, sensory neuron, integrating center neuron, motor neuron, effector  
🗑
ipsilateral   same side  
🗑
what does the blood brain barrier do   protects brain cells from harmful substances and pathogens by serving as a selective barrier to prevent passage of many substances from the blood to the brain  
🗑
electrical synapse   ionic current spreads to next cell though gap junctions, faster, two-way transmition and capable of synchronizing groups of neurons  
🗑
chemical synapse   one-way information transfer from a presynaptic neuron to a postsynaptic neuron.  
🗑
nerve 1, name, classification, function   olfactory, sensory, smell  
🗑
nerve 2, name, classification, function   optic, sensory, vision  
🗑
nerve 3, name, classification, function   oculomotor, motor, eye movement and pupil dilation  
🗑
nerve 4, name, classification, function   trochlear, motor, eye movement  
🗑
nerve 5, name, classification, function   trigeminal, mixed, sensory-touch on face, corneal reflex, motor-muscles of mastication  
🗑
nerve 6, name, classification, function   abducens, motor, eye movement  
🗑
nerve 7, name, classification, function   facial, mixed, sensory-taste, motor-facial muscles, corneal reflex  
🗑
nerve 8, name, classification, function   vestibulocochlear, sensory, balance and hearing  
🗑
nerve 9, name, classification, function   glossopharyngeal, mixed, sensory-taste gag reflex, motor-elevates pharynx during speech  
🗑
nerve 10, name, classification, function   vagus, mixed, sensory-taste, motor-parasympathic to visceral organs, gag reflex  
🗑
nerve 11, name, classification, function   accessory, motor, muscles of neck and upper back  
🗑
nerve 12, name, classification, function   hypoglossal, motor, tongue movement  
🗑
what does CSF do?   absorbs shock and protects the brain and spinal cord, helps transport nutrients and wastes from the blood and nervous tissue  
🗑
what is the major secretory site for CSF   choriod plexus  
🗑
centers of the medulla oblongata   vital centers-cardiovascular and respiratory centers, other centers-vomiting, swollowing, sneezing, coughing, and hiccuping  
🗑
functions of cerebellum   anterior and posterior lobes coordinate movements, regulate posture; flocculonodular lobe coordinates balance  
🗑
parts of the midbrain   substantia nigra, red nucleus, reticular activating system  
🗑
substantia nigra   large area with dark pigments, help control subconscious muscle activities. loss of neurons here is associated with Parkinson's disease  
🗑
red nucleus   help control voluntary movements of the limbs  
🗑
reticular activating system (RAS)   consists of sensory axons that project to the cerebral cortex. helps maintain consciousness  
🗑
Thalamus   intermediate mass, contains several nuclei, major relay station for most sensory impulses, major relay for intracerebral and cerebro-cerebellar association  
🗑
hypothalamus   inferior to the thalamus, consists of mammillary body, median eminence, infundibulum, and a number of nuclei  
🗑
functions of hypothalamus   control of ANS (many viseromotor functions integration with other expressed behaviors) control release of pituitary hormones, regulation of emotional and behavioral patterns, eating and drinking, body temp. and circadia rhythms  
🗑
central sulcus   separates frontal and parietal lobes  
🗑
precentral gyrus   primary motor area  
🗑
postcentral gyrus   primary somatosensory area  
🗑
function of pons   relays nerve impulses related to voluntary skeletal movements from the cerebral cortex to the cerebellum  
🗑
function of midbrain   conveys motor impulses from the cerebrum to the cerebellum and spinal cord, sends sensory impulses from the spinal cord to the thalamus and regulates auditory and visual reflexes  
🗑
corpus collosum   a bundle of transverse white fibers where internal communication between hemispheres occurs  
🗑
function of basal ganglia   help initiate and terminate body movements  
🗑
functions of limbic system   functions in emotional aspects of behavior and memory, and is associated with pleasure and pain  
🗑
two main routes in spinal cord white matter sensory input travels   posterior column and the spinothalamic tract  
🗑
the three primary vesicles   proenchephalon, mesenchephalon, rhombencephalon  
🗑
the second brain vesicles   the proenchephalon develops into the telecephalon and diencephalon. the rhombencephalon develops into the metencephalon and the myelencephalon  
🗑
what parts of the brain to each of the 5 vesicles form   teleceohalon-cerebral hemisphere lateral ventricles. diencephalon-thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus third ventricle. mesencephalon-midbrain aqueduct. metencephalon-cerebellum upper 4th ventricle. myelencephalon-medulla oblongata, lower 4th ventricle  
🗑


   

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.
