Q

What is the PNS?

A

The Peripheral Nervous System is associated with the tissue outside of the CNS. It can be divided into Afferent Division & Efferent Division.

Q

What is Afferent Division?

A

Afferent Division brings sensory info to the CNS and BEGINS at the RECEPTORS. Somatic & Visceral.

Q

What is Efferent Division?

A

Efferent Division carries motor commands to the muscles & glands and ENDS at the EFFECTORS. Can be divided into Somatic Nervous System & Automatic Nervous System (which contains Parasympathetic division & Sympathetic division).

17
Q

Dendrites

A

Stimulated by environmental changes or the activities of other cells.

18
Q

Cell Body

A

Contains organelles

19
Q

Axon

A

Conducts nerve impulse (action potential) toward axon terminals.

20
Q

Axon Terminals

A

Affect another neuron or effector organ (muscle or gland)

21
Q

Axon Hillock

A

Area where the initial segment connects to the cell body.

22
Q

What are the types of neuronal pools?

A

Divergence
Convergence
Serial Processing
Parallel Processing
Reverberation

23
Q

Divergence

A

Spread of info from one neuron to several neurons.

24
Q

Convergence

A

Info going from several neurons to one neuron.

25
Q

Serial Processing

A

Info going from one neuron to the next neuron in a sequence.

26
Q

Parallel Processing

A

Several neurons processing info at the same time.

27
Q

Reverberation

A

Collateral axons extend back toward the origin of impulse (on a repeater)

27
Q

Reverberation

A

Collateral axons extend back toward the origin of impulse (on a repeater)

28
Q

What are the structural classifications of neurons?

A

Anaxonic (Found only in CNS)
Bipolar (Axons not myelinated)
Pseudounipolar
Multipolar (Most common type in CNS)

29
Q

Chemical Synapse

A

Vesicular (containing vesicles) and impulses can be conveyed in one direction only.

  1. Action Potential Arrives
  2. Neurotransmitter is released from axon vesicles
  3. Neurotransmitter diffuse across synapse
  4. Neurotransmitter binds to membrane
  5. Binding changes permeability of membrane
  6. Action potential enters next neuron
30
Q

Electrical Synapse

A

Nonvesicular and impulses can be conveyed in any direction.

The membrane one one neuron is tightly bound to the membrane of another neuron. The binding merits the passage of ions from one neuron to the next,

31
Q

What types of neurons are in dorsal roots?

A

AFFERENT axons of SENSORY neurons

32
Q

What types of neurons are in ventral roots?

A

EFFERENT axons of SOMATIC MOTOR neurons

33
Q

What nerves are in the Cervical Plexus?

A

Lesser Occipital
Supraclavicular
Great Auricular
Transverse Cervical
Ansa Cervicalis
Phrenic

34
Q

What nerves are in the Brachial Plexus?

A

Ventral rami (roots)
Trunks (superior, middle, and inferior)
Divisions (anterior & posterior)
Cords (posterior, lateral, and medial)

35
Q

What nerves are in the Lumbar Plexus?

A

Iliohyppogastric
Ilio-iguinial
Lateral Femoral Cutaneous
Genitofemoral
Femoral
Orburator

36
Q

What nerves are in the Sacral Plexus?

A

Superior Gluteal
Inferior Gluteal
Sciatic
Posterior Femoral Cutaneous
Pudendal

37
Q

What are Development Reflexes?

A

Innate: Genetically determined

Acquired: Learned

38
Q

What are Response Reflexes?

A

Somatic: The control of skeletal muscle contractions (voluntary)

Visceral (Automatic): Control actions of smooth & cardiac muscles, glands, & adipose tissue (involuntary)

39
Q

What are Complexity of Circuit Reflexes?

A

Monosynaptic: One synapse

Polysynaptic: Multiple synapses

40
Q

What are Processing Site Reflexes?

A

Spinal: Processing in spinal cord

Cranial: Processing in brain
