---|---|---|---|---|---|
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.
