Q

Integration zone (in dendrites of neuron)

A

Zone where all info accumulates (ophopen), reaches treshold and then the AP is fired down the axon

Q

4 steps of neural communication

A
  1. AP is fired at axon hillock (connection between cell body and axon)
  2. AP (the info) travels down axon to axon terminals
  3. Axon terminals are attached to dendrites next neuron
  4. Pre synaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters to post synaptic neuron its receptors.

Q

Somatic nervous system (PNS)

A

Part of PNS we can control.
- Controls movement
- Receives sensory information from the body and from the sensory organs of the head.
Made up of 2 anatomic groups: cranial and spinal nerves.

Nerve connected directly to the brain.
Sensory and motor cranial nerves.

Q

Sensory nerves (Cranial nerves)

A

Input of information.
Sensory nerves convey sensory info from PNS to CNS.

Sensory cranial nerves are:
Olfactory (carry smell info)
Optic (carry visual info)

21
Q

Motor nerves (Cranial nerves0

A

Output of information.
Motor nerves transmit motor information from CNS (brian and spine) to the muscles, organs, and glands.

Motor cranial nerve:
Oculomtor (eye movement)

22
Q

Spinal nerves

A

(Somatic nerves) Nerve emerges from the spinal cord.

Receive input in back of spinal cord (dorsal root)
Output in the front of the spinal cord (ventral root)

23
Q

Autonomic nervous system (PNS)

A

Part of PNS
Controls glands and smooth muscles of internal organs
Dived in to: Sympathetic and Parasympathetic

24
Q

Sympathetic (Autonomic nervous system) (PNS)

A
  • Stimulator
  • Prepares body for action
  • Fight or flight response
    (blood pressure increases, the pupils of the eyes dilate, and the heart rate quickens)
25
Parasympathetic (Autonomic nervous system (PNS)
- Inhibitor - Helps body relax and prepare for future action - Rest and digest response (slow heart rate: because in rest)
26
4 brain lobes FPOT
Frontol, parietal, occipital and temporal lobe

40
Pinael gland is involved in
Sleep rythm
41
Electrical stimulation
Produce movement and sensation (somatosensory and motor)
42
Multisensory neurons
Fire to the presence of different stimuli (auditory & visual)
43
Basal ganglia is involved in
Motor
44
Limbic system is involved in
emotion
45
Ventricles (holtes in hersenen) have a function of
Protection. Shock absorber, fluid exchange of nutrients (trough blood vessels, brain tissue)
46
Blood vessels function
Oxygen supply to the brain
47
Neuro imagining
Show anatomy Records activity
48
FMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) you can see
where oxygen in flowing (in all slices of the brain) therefore identifies which brian regions are active during a task. Spatial resolution
49
EEG (electroencephalography)
Using electrodes, measures electrical activity of neurons. Temporal resolution
