Ch 13 Lec 1 - Nervous System Flashcards
coordinate all body systems and this is accomplished by the transmission of signals
nervous system
the nervous system is a blank signaling system
electrochemical
communication system that is a slower scale and uses chemicals in the blood stream called blank
endocrine system, hormones
two communication systems of the body
nervous, endocrine
nervous system is made up of many blank, each composed of several tissues
organs
three things that make up nervous system
neurons, neuroglia, blood vessels, connective tissue
2 divisions of the nervous system
central, peripheral
the brain and spinal cord make up the blank nervous system
central
cranial and spinal nerves make up the blank nervous system
peripheral
the central nervous system is covered by blank
meninges
central nervous system is bathed in blank fluid
cerebrospinal
nervous system that is the integration center
central
nervous system that has both sensory and motor fibers
peripheral
the PNS connects the CNS to blank and blank
glands, muscles
this nervous system brings information to and from the CNS
PNS
two divisions of the PNS
afferent, efferent
the sensory division of the PNS
afferent
the motor division of the PNS
efferent
two divisions of the efferent division
somatic, autonomic
conscious control division of the efferent division
somatic
unconscious division of the efferent division
autonomic
order of a general function of the nervous system
receptors, sensory, integrative, motor, effector
receptor of nervous system does what
detects stimuli
sensory is felt by blank
afferent PNS
integrative part of nervous system
CNS
motor part of nervous system is the blank
efferent PNS
the effector of the nervous system
muscle/gland
structural and functional units of nervous system, excitable and amitotic
neurons
nervous tissue cell that are accessory cells and act like connective tissue
neuroglial
three major structures of neurons
soma, dendrites, axon
cell body of a neuron
soma
soma is blank
mononucleate
four parts of soma
nissl bodies, axon hillock, perikaryon, neurofibrils
