Question
Answer
Define CNS   Central Nervous System; consists of the brain and spinal cord; receives, interprets, and responds to data.  
🗑
Define PNS   Peripheral Nervous System; connects the central nervous system to the body.  
🗑
Somatic Region   The outer portion of the PNS; skin, skeleton, and skeletal muscles.  
🗑
Visceral Region   The inner portion of the PNS; internal organs, glands, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.  
🗑
Receptors   Detect internal or external stimuli  
🗑
Exteroceptors   attached to the somatic PNS; receive stimuli from the external environment (eyes, ears...)  
🗑
Proprioceptors   somatic PNS; receive stimuli from within the somatic region (muscle spindles, tendon organs...)  
🗑
Interoceptors or visceroceptors   attached to the visceral PNS; receive stimuli from within the visceral region (carotid bodies and aortic bodies)  
🗑
Effectors   produce the body's responses  
🗑
Glial cells or neuroglia   form the nervous system's stroma (connective tissue). Supports and protects the system's neurons.  
🗑
Ependymal Cells   line the chambers and cavities of the CNS that contain cerebrospinal fluid. Assist with its circulation.  
🗑
Oligodendrocytes   in the CNS white matter. Produce myelin sheath for the white matter neurons  
🗑
Microglia   Phygocytic cells in CNS. Protect from debris, waste, and pathogens.  
🗑
Astrocytes   CNS choroid plexuses. Aid capillaries in creating the blood-brain barrier.  
🗑
Neurolemmocytes (Schwann Cells)   responsible for myelinating neurons in the PNS.  
🗑
Sensory (afferent neurons)   Transmit nerve impulse to the CNS  
🗑
General Senses   not unique  
🗑
Special Senses   unique (sight, smell, taste, balance, hearing)  
🗑
Association Neurons (interneurons)   In CNS forming a bridge between the body's sensory and motor neurons.  
🗑
Motor (efferent neurons)   transmit nerve impulses away from CNS.  
🗑
Chromatphilic Substance (Nissl Bodies)   a neuron's rough ER and produce proteins called neurofibrils.  
🗑
Fibers   the processes whih projoct from a perikaryon's (cell body) surface.  
🗑
Dendrites   fibers that transmit electrical impulses toward the cells perikaryon  
🗑
Axon   fibers that transmit electrical impulses away from the perikaryon. The branches are called telodendria and contain the cell's synaptic vesicles.  
🗑
Unipolar neurons   possess only one fiber. most sensory neurons.  
🗑
Bipolar Neurons   possess two fibers; one dendrite and one axon.  
🗑
Mulitpolar Neurons   possess many fibers; forms most of the nervous system  
🗑
Myelin Sheath   extension of glial cells' neurolemma  
🗑


   

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.
