skin surface area supplied by a single cranial or spinal nerve

28
Q

space between presynaptic and postsynaptic neuron

29
Q

sympathetic nervous system

A

prepares body for the “fight or flight” response during potential danger

30
Q

parasympathetic nervous system

A

inhibits the body from overworking and restores the body to a calm and composed state

Q

what forms a 2 layer structure called blood- brain barrier

A

astrocytes

33
Q

glia`

A

support and protect nerve cells; do not transmit impulses

34
Q

astrocytes

A

star shaped cells that anchor small blood vessels to neurons

35
Q

microlgia

A

smaller cells that are usually stationary; perform phagocytosis if brain tissue becomes inflamed

36
Q

oligodendrocytes

A

helps hold nerve fibers together

37
Q

schwann cells

A

the glia cells that form myelin sheath around axons in (PNS)

38

blood brain barrier (BBB)

A

allows water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and few other substances such as alcohol to move between blood and tissue of brain

perineurium

A

surrounds a group of or fascicle of nerve fibers

41
Q

epineurium

A

surrounds entire nerve

synapse

A

place where impulses are transmitted from one neuron to another

44
Q

divisions of the brain

A

brainstem, cerebellum, diencephalon, cerebrum

45
Q

sensory tracts

A

conduct impulses from brainstem up to higher parts of the brain

46
