Q

Function of pituitary gland

A

Receive information from the brain via hypothalamus to produce hormones that regulate the secretion of other endocrine gland.

24
Q

What is spinal cord?

A

A tubular bundle of nerve that extended from medulla oblongata to the pelvic girdle and lies within vertebral canal, surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid.

25
Q

What is the function of central canal?

A

Transport nutrients and oxygen to the neurones and removes carbon dioxide and excretory waste from them

26
Q

What is the function of spinal cord?

A

Control reflex action/ involuntary action (Connect muscle to the respective sensory organ via efferent neurones and afferent neurones)
Connect brain to the peripheral nervous system to transmit nerve impulses to and from the brain

27
Q

Grey matter of spinal cord is made up of what?

A

Cell body and dendrites of neurones

28
Q

White matter of spinal cord madeof what?

A

Myelinated axons

29
Q

Dorsal root ganglion madu up of what?

A

Cell bodies of afferent neurone

30
Q

Explain dorsal root

A

Dorsal root contain only afferent neurones (sensory neurones) and transmit nerve impulses from the receptor to the spinal cord

31
Q

Explain ventral root

A

Ventral root contain only efferent neurones (motor neurones) and transmit nerve impulses from spinal cord to the effector

32
Q

ventral root and dorsal root will combine at the end. Give the name

A

Spinal nerve

33
Q

What is the main function of peripheral nervous system?

A

Connecting the central nervous system to the body and the external environment

34
Q

State two types of neurone

A

Motor neurone

Sensory neurone

35
Q

State two types of nervous system

A

Somatic nervous system, Autonomic nervous system

36
Q

Central nervous system

A

As an integration and control centre

37
Q

What is nervous system

A

A bundle of neurone/ nerve cell

38
Q

What is nerve

A

A bundle of nerve fibre (Axon and dendrite)

39
Q

Explain the structure of neurones

A

A neurone consist of a cell body made up of a nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm and nerve fibres. Two types of nerve fibres extended from the cell body which is axon (transmit nerve impulses away from the cell body) and dendrites (transmit nerve impulses towards the cell body). An axon branches out to form fine fibres called axon terminal that ends in a bulbous enlargement called synaptic knob.

40
Q

States the two type of nerve fibre extended from the cell body and give some explanation

A

Axon - Transmit nerve impulses away from the cell body

Dendrites - Transmit nerve impulses towards the cell body

41
Q

Explain the characteristic and function of cell body

A
  • Consist of cytoplasm and a nucleus

- Transmit nerve impulses to the axon

42
Q

Explain the characteristic and function of myelin sheath

A
  • A lipid structure
  • Form a Schwan cell surrounded the axon
  • Protect axon from injury
  • Insulate axon for faster transmission of nerve impulses
  • Provides nutrients to the axon
43
Q

Explain the characteristic and function of axon

A
  • thin, elongated nerve fibre ectended fromthe cell body

- transmit nerve impulses away from the cell body

44
Q

Explain the characteristic and the structure of dendrites

A
  • short branches cytoplasmic extention from the cell body

- receive information from other neurones or from the surrounding environment and transmit towards the cell body

45
Q

Explain the characteristic and function of axon terminal

A
  • fine branches of nerve fibres ends in a bulbous enlargement called synaptic knobs
  • transmit nerve impulse across the synapse (via neurotransmitter) at the synaptic knobs to the effector or the other neurones
46
Q

Explain the characteristic and function of Node of Ranvier

A
  • periodic gap found in the insulating sheath (myelin) on the axon
  • speed up the transmission of signal as nerve impulses jump from one node to the next down the axon
47
Q

Characteristic of sensory neurone

A

Type of nervous system - PNS
Function - Transmit nerve impulses from the receptor to CNS

Type of nervous system - CNS
Function - Connect sensory and motor neurone to form a neurone circuit
Location of axon - Inside the CNS
Location of cel body - In the grey matter of CNS
Dendrites - Synapse with other neurones
Axon - Synapse with other neurones

49
Q

Characteristic of motor neurone

A

Type of nervous system - PNS
Function - Transmit nerve impulses from the CNS to effector
Location of axon - Outside the CNS
Location of cell body - In grey matter of spinal cord
Dendrites - Synapse with relay neurone
Axon - Synapse with effector

50
Q

Information carried along the neurone is called?

A

Nerve impulses

51
Q

Transmision of nerve impulse involves ….

A

a) Changes in electrical charges across the membrane of neurone
b) Movement of ion, and the most important ion is Sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+)

52
Q

The nerve impulse travel in how many direction

A

one direction

53
Q

Where transmission of nerve impulse begin?

A

Begins in a receptor and ends in a effector

54
Q

Pathway of nerve impulse

A

1) Sensory receptor detect the stimuli which starts a nerve impulses in a sensory neurone.
2) Sensory neurone transmit nerve impulses via relay neurone to the CNS
3) CNS integrate and interpret information, make a decision and transmit a commands in a nerve impulses via relay neurone to the motor neurone
4) Motor neurone transmit nerve information to the effector
5) Effector receive the motor commands and carries out the responses

55
Q

What is synapse

A

Synapse is the narrow synaptic gap between synaptic knob of axon terminal and the dendrites of the next neurones
Synapse is the narrow synaptic gap that nerve impulses has to cross to reach the next neurone at neurone to neurone junction

56
Q

State three type of synapse junction

A

Neurone to neurone junction
Neurone to muscle cell junction
Neurone to gland junction

57
Q

What is the function of synapse

A

a) enable nerve impulses transmit from one neurone to another neurone, one neurone to muscle cell, one neurone to gland
b) ensure nerve impulses transmit in one direction
