Question
Answer
Divisions of the Nervous System   Central and Peripheral  
🗑
central nervous system(CNS) consists of?   Brain and Spinal Cord  
🗑
the 2 types of cells of the nervous system?   Neurons and glia  
🗑
Neurons   Transmit signal  
🗑
Glia   Caretakers of neurons  
🗑
2 of the major types of Glia   Astrocytes, Microglia  
🗑
Astrocytes   Blood Brain Barrier  
🗑
Microglia   remove microbes  
🗑
Sensory neurons(afferent)(at)   sends the signal toward the brain  
🗑
Motor neurons(efferent)(effect of)   sends the signal to the muscle  
🗑
Interneurons(central, connecting neurons)   between neurons  
🗑
Dendrites   sends signal toward the cell body  
🗑
Axons   Sends signal away from the cell body  
🗑
myelin is formed by?   Schwann cells in the PNS, Oligodendrocytes in the CNS  
🗑
Endoneurium   within  
🗑
Perineurium   surrounding  
🗑
Epineurium   uppon(think like the skin)  
🗑
polarization   at rest, slightly positive on the outside  
🗑
Depolarization   Na+ions to rush inward; this causes inside to now become more positive and the outside to become more negative  
🗑
Whats the purpose of myelin? saltatory conduction?   Membrane is covered with myelin, the impulse skips that section and jumps to another. (speeds up signal)  
🗑
Synapse   Where we chemically send signal from one to another.  
🗑
neurotransmitters   diffuse back into pre-synaptic knob-released at synapse by pre synaptic neuron  
🗑
Diencephalon   hypothalamus  
🗑
brainstem includes 3 structures   medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain  
🗑
gyri   ridges  
🗑
Frontal lobe   Voluntary movement(motor) somatic NS  
🗑
Temporal lobe   on side by ears, primary auditory cortex(receives sensory info from ears)  
🗑
Occipital lobe   vision  
🗑
hypothalamus   control, maintains water balance(ADH), and sleep cycles  
🗑
Brain stem   Medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain  
🗑
medulla oblongata   vital centers  
🗑
1 of the 3 layers of coverings for the brain and spinal cord   dura mater-outer layer  
🗑
Part of the PNS   Autonomic nervous system  
🗑
autonomic nervous system   connect brain and spinal cord to glands, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle  
🗑
Main function of spinal cord   reflex center  
🗑
reflex arc   2 neuron arc(simplest), 3 neuron arc(interneurons)  
🗑
Where do all interneurons lie?   within gray matter of spinal cord  
🗑
autonomic nervous system   consists of motor neurons that conduct impulses from the CNS to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands  
🗑
sympathetic nervous system   thoracolumbar system, fight or flight  
🗑
parasympathetic nervous system   craniosacral system, rest and digest response(dominates unter normal everyday conditions.  
🗑


   

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.
