Q

Describe the Division of the Nervous System

A
  • Mainly divided into CNS and PNS
  • PNS is divided into sensory and motor
  • The sensory contains the receptors that allow for our senses to receive info from the environment
  • motor allows for body control and receiving information from our muscles and glands
  • Motor and sensory continues onto autonomic and somatic
  • Somatic is the movements we can control
  • Autonomic is involuntary
  • Autonomic continues into sympathetic which is our fight or flight and parasympathetic is our rest and digest

Q

Describe what action potential is, why it is named that way and what it does?

A

Potential in Action potential refers to the terms “electrical potential”. Electrical potential is the energy needed to move an electrical charge. Action potential is the actions that occur to move the gradient charge. This is started by depolarisation, which is when there is a sudden rise in + charge on the membrane making inside the cell temporarily more positive

Q

What fissure divides the frontal and parietal lobes?

A

Central

23
Q

Define graded potential

A

A stimuli that does not cause a AP

24
Q

What is suprathreshold and subthreshold?

A

Suprathreshold is a stimuli that exceeds the action potential threshold and the subthreshold does not meet the threshold - both do not result in AP

25
Q

What are the 3 main types of neurotransmitters?

A

Excitatory, Inhibitory and both

26
Q

Neurotransmitters can be built off of different chemical compounds, what

A

Peptides, Amines, Amino Acids, Esters

27
Q

Describe the basic function of a Neuron Synapse

A

The information relay section between 2 adjacent neurons. They connect with the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron to the dendrite of the post synaptic neuron. When a nerve has an electric signal, it cannot continue onto the next cell, so neurotransmitters are released to the next cell that stimulate an electric signal

28
Q

What does the Phrenic nerve innervate?

A

The diaphragm

29
Q

What nerve innervates the deltoid, Teres and skin of shoulder?

A

Axillary Nerve

30
Q

Where does the axillary nerve innervate?

A

Teres Muscle, deltoid and skin on shoulder

31
Q

What does the musculocutaneous muscle innervate?

A

Flexor muscles in arm and forearm, skin on lateral surface of forearm

32
Q

The flexor muscles of forearm are innervated by what

A

Musculocutaneous nerve

33
Q

What does the radial nerve innervate?

A

The arm extensors of arm, forearm and hand as well as skin on posterolateral surface of arm

34
Q

What nerve innervates the flexor muscles of forearm and digits and the skin on medial surface of the hand

A

The ulnar nerve

35
Q

The median nerve innervates where?

A

The flexor muscles of forearm and hand, skin on lateral hand surface

36
Q

The cervical plexus is made of what spinal nerves?

A

A

L1-L4

39
Q

Which spinal nerves do not create a plexus

A

Thoracic

40
Q

What nerves make up the sacral plexus?

A

L5-S4

41
Q

Define Myotome

A

A myotome is a group of muscles innervated by a single nerve root.

42
Q

Define Dermatome

A

A dermatome is an area of skin innervated by a single nerve root

43
Q

Describe the flow of a sensory neuron and its axon

A

An afferent pathway, where sensory information flows from a receptor, to the cell body, into the CNS for processing. Cell body is located out of the spinal cord in a dorsal ganglion. A single axon bifurcates into 2 branches. The peripheral process axon extends from the receptor, to the cell body. The central process extends from the cell body into the CNS

44
Q

Describe the flow of a motor neuron and its axon

A

An efferent pathway, where motor information from the CNS to the area being innervated. Cell body is located inside the spinal cord and the axon extends to the area that innervates it

45
Q

Differentiate post ganglionic and preganglionic neurons

A

Preganglionic originate in the brain stem and a post ganglionic neuron originates outside of the brain stem or spinal cord

46
Q

What is afferent and efferent

A

Afferent is the flow towards the CNS - sensory information coming in
Efferent is flow out of the CNS - directions going towards the motor control

47
Q

Finish the sentence

The larger the axon and myelin sheath diameter_____

A

The faster the conduction

48
Q

Define Sensation

A
