Question
Answer
show Central Nervous System (CNS) - brain and spinal cord<P><P><P>Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - remainder of nervous system outside of the CNS  
🗑
Functional Nervous System   show
🗑
show two main cell types<P>1. Neurons (nerve cells)<P>2. Neuroglia (glial cells) which support the neurons  
🗑
Neurons   show
🗑
Multipolar motor neurons   show
🗑
Pseudounipolar sensory neurons   show
🗑
Neuroglia (glial cells/glia)   show
🗑
show brain and spinal cord; integrate & coordinate incoming and outgoing neural signals & to carry out higher mental functions (thinking & learning)  
🗑
show made of nerve cell bodies in the CNS=nucleus; in transverse section of spinal cord, gray matter appears to be an "H" in the white matter; right & left posterior(dorsal)/anterior(ventral) horns=supports of the "H"  
🗑
White Matter   show
🗑
show 1. Pia Mater - innermost, delicate, transparent layer <P>2. Arachnoid Mater - middle layer <P>3. Dura Mater - thick, tough layer<P><P><P>Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is b/w pia mater & arachnoid mater  
🗑
show consists of nerve fibers & cell bodies outside CNS that conduct impulses to or away from CNS; organized into nerves that connect CNS with peripheral structures  
🗑
show axon, neurolemma (cell membranes of Schwann cells surrounding axon,has 2 forms), & surrounding endoneurial connective tissue  
🗑
show 1. myelinated, consisting of Schwann cells specific to individual axon, organized in a continuous series forming myelin cells <P>2. unmyelinated, composed of Schwann cells that don't make up an apparent series, multiple axons are separately embedded  
🗑
Nerve tissue coverings   show
🗑
show convey neural impulses to the CNS from the sense organs (e.g., the eyes) & from sensory receptors in various parts of the body (e.g., in the skin)  
🗑
PNS efferent (motor) fibers   show
🗑
Cranial Nerves   show
🗑
Spinal (Segmental) Nerves   show
🗑
Spinal Nerves - roots   show
🗑
Rami of Spinal Nerves - motor & sensory   show
🗑


   

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.
