Q

Autonomic division (ANS)

A

Motor unit and sensory unit from smooth and cardiac muscles and glands (involuntary)
Neurons go from muscles to glands
Sensory information from chemicals
** INVOLUNTARY and subconscious (autopilot)

Two subdivisions

Sympathetic

Q

Enteric Nervous System (ENS)

A

“Brain of the gut”

Extends most of the gastrointestinal tract

INVOLUNTARY

18
Q

Major functions of the nervous system

3

A

Major function of the nervous system and functional classification of neurons regulate all activities
***all are both conscious and subconscious

Sensation or sensory function
Integration
Motor response or motor function

19
Q

Sensation

A

Or sensory function
Detection or changes in the body’s internal and external environment
*sensory (afferent) neuron is the anatomy that does the function (PNS)

20
Q

Integration

A

Processing and interpretation of sensations
Examples of this are consciousness of sensation, thoughts, ouch, tickle
Happens in the CNS
Interneurons (association neurons) - connect the sensory and motor neurons in 90% of the body

21
Q

Motor function

A

Causes the muscular contractions or glandular secretions
Action or reaction to sensation and integration
Motor (efferent) neuron - is the anatomy that functions (PNS)

22
Q

SAME

A

SA = sensory or afferent

ME = motor or efferent

23
Q

Nervous tissue

2 parts

A

Neurons

Neuroglia

24
Q

Neurons

A

Conducting cells
Electrically excitable
Conduct signals

25
Q

Neuralgia

A

Also called gila
Support cells

Hyperplasia of glial cells or neuroglia is brain cancer

26
Q

Hyperplasia of glial cells

A

Hyperplasia of glial cells or neuroglia is brain cancer

27
Q

Major parts of neurons - peripheral ONLY

3

A

Dendrites
Cell body
Axon

28
Q

Dendrites

A

Cell process that receive information toward the cell body
The receiving end of the cell

(collects information)

29
Q

Cell body

A

Soma

Main portion containing the cell nucleus

30
Q

Axon

A

Conducts impulses/info away from the cell body
The transmitting end of the cell

(Gives information)

Central nervous system only sends and receives information to and from the neurons

31
Q

Central nervous system only sends and receives information to and from the

A

Neurons

32

A - extension and radial deviation of wrist

33
Q

Extensor carpi radialis brevis

A, I, O

A

O - Lateral epicondyle via common extensor tendon

I - base of 3rd metacarpal

A - extension and radial deviation of wrist

34
Q

Palaris longus

A, I, O

A

O - medial epicondyle via the flexor tendon

I - palmar aponeurosis

A - flexion of wrist

  • not present in everyone
  • *only tendon not under flexor retinaculum
35
Q
