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. |
