🗑
What are the two functional divisions   SENSORY or afferent division MOTOR or efferent division  
🗑
what is the role of the SENSORY or afferent division (functional subdivision)has two parts somatic/visceral   nerve fibers that convey impulses to the CNS from sensory receptors located in different parts of the body informing the CNS of events both inside and outside of the body  
🗑

🗑
What do visceral SENSORY fibers do   transmit impulses from the visceral organs  
🗑
What is the role of the MOTOR or efferent division (has 2 subdivisions)   carries impulses from the CNS to effector organs, the muscles and glands. They effect a motor response  
🗑
What are the two MOTOR (efferent) subdivisions   Somatic nervous system Autonomic nervous system  
🗑
What is the role of the Somatic nervous system (motor subdivision)   allows us to consciously or voluntarily control our skeletal muscles (voluntary nervous system)  
🗑
What is the role of the Autonomic nervous system (has two subdivisions)   regulates events that are automatic or involuntary such as cardiac muscles and glands (involuntary NS)  
🗑
What does the sympathetic part of the involuntary nervous system do    
🗑
What does the parasympathetic part of the involuntary nervous system do?    
🗑
the nervous system acts as a coordinated unit, both structurally and functionally.   subdivisions only for convenience  
🗑

🗑
Nuerons consist of what   cell body processes  
🗑
cell body contains what   almost all organelles  
🗑

🗑
How many types of ganglia are there and name them   Functional classification Afferent neurons Association neurons structural classification  
🗑
Functional classifications - one of five ganglia   based on where messages are sent  
🗑
Afferent neurons - one of five ganglia   send messages TO the CNS  
🗑
Efferent neurons - one of five ganglia   send messages FROM the CNS  
🗑
Association neurons - one of five ganglia   connect afferent and efferent neurons  
🗑
Structural classification   based on # of processes leaving cell body:Multi polar neuron many processes, Bipolar 2 processes, Unipolar 1 process (axon only)  
🗑
How do they transmit messages   neurons are polarized - move positive charge outside then in stimuli will depolarize neuron which causes it to transmit a signal repolarization must occur before another message may be sent  
🗑
Neurons w/out myelin   neurons are stimulate through the cell membrane along all of the neuron stimulus causes na+ to enter the cell to set off impulses to repolarize, na+ must be pumped back out. see pg. 232  
🗑
neurons with myelin   stimuli reach neurons only at the nodes (ends of nerves) *impulses travels down axon toward synapse *Neurotransmitters are received toward receiving neuron * Neurontransmitters bind to receptors on the next -> cause na+to enter neuron. pg. 233  
🗑
reflexes   rapid, perceptible, involuntary responses always occur along the same neural pathway called a reflex arc  
🗑
what are the two kinds of reflexes   skeletal muscles called somatic smooth muscles called autonomic  
🗑
what are the parts of the reflex arc   sensory receptor afferent neuron ( pg 234) integration center efferent neuron effector organ

🗑
what is divided into 2 cerebral hemispheres   the cerebrum  
🗑
what does the cerebrum have many of   gyri (ridges), sulci (shallow grooves) and fissures (deep organs)  
🗑
How many lobes does the cerebrum have   4  
🗑
Name the 4 lobes of the cerebrum   frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal  
🗑
What is the role of the frontal lobe   controls your personality, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, intuition, judgement, social behavior  
🗑
What is the role of the parietal lobe   responsible for information processing, pain, and touch, perception, spatial orientation, speech, visual perception  
🗑
What is the role of the occipital lobe   responsible for visual processing centers of the brain (movement, color, depth)  
🗑
Where is the temporal lobe located   anterior to the occipital lobe and lateral to the mid-line  
🗑
What is the role of the temporal lobe   involved in hearing, memory, speech, language and emotional responses.

Where is the occipital located   located most posterior of the brain  
🗑
Where is the parietal lobe located   superior to the occipital lobe and posterior to the frontal lobe.  
🗑
where is the frontal lobe located   most anterior and superior lobe of the brain.
