Q

Dermatome

A

an area of skin supplied by neurons that all arise from a specific spinal segment

17
Q

Brainstem

A

-includes midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata
-responsible for basic human requirements (breathing, HR)

18
Q

Cerebellum

A

-coordinates voluntary movements
-posture, balance, coordination speech
-sensory info (high neuron count)
-error based learning

19
Q

Thalamus

A

-relay station of sensory/motor info
-main part of diencephalon (grey matter)
-regulates consciousness, sleep, alertness

20
Q

cerebral cortex

A

-outer layer
-attention, perception, awareness, thought, memory, language, consciouness

21
Q

How are neurons similar to other cells?

A

-lipid bilayer membrane
-cell body, nucleus, etc.

22
Q

How are neurons different from other cells?

A

-unique morphology
-electrically excitable

23
Q

What does the phrase “form follows function” mean?

A

In neurons the more complex the process, the more complex looking the neuron

24
Q

Where is the cell body of a sensory neuron located?

A

middle of the neuron

25
Q

Where is the cell body of a motor neuron located?

A

in dendrite

26
