SCIATIC NERVE

32
Q

LONGEST AND THICKEST NERVE IN ENTIRE BODY

A

SCIATIC NERVE

33
Q

HOW DOES A REFLEX ARC WORK

A

SENSORY IMPULSES FROM RECEPTORS CAN REACH THEIR EFFECTORS WITHOUT BEING PROCESSED BY BRAIN

34
Q

WHAT IS A MONOSYNAPTIC REFLEX

A

IN THE REFLEX ARC WHEN THE INTEGRATION CENTER ONLY USES A SINGLE SYNAPSE BETWEEN THE SENSORY NEURON AND MOTOR NUERON

35
Q

SOMATIC REFLEX

A

ACTIVATES SKELETAL MUSCLE FOR INVOLUNTARY CONTROL

36
Q

AUTONOMIC REFLEX

A

ACTIVATES VISCERAL EFFECTORS IN SMOOTH OR CARDIAC MUSCLE OR GLANDS

37
Q

LONG VS SHORT REFLEXES

A

LONG: COORDINATE ACTIVITIES IN ENTIRE ORGAN AND PROCESSED BY CNS

SHORT: TARGET SPECIFIC PART OF ORGAN AND DO NOT USE CNS

38
Q

SPINAL REFLEXES

A

CAN OCCUR WITHOUT INVOLVEMENT OF BRAIN

39
Q

WHAT IS GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME AND HOW IS IT REPAIRED

A

DAMAGE TO THE MYELIN SHEATH
MAY BE REPAIRED BY SCHWANN CELLS

40
Q

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PNS WITH AGING

A

SENSORY RECEPTORS ATROPHY, MYELIN SHEATHS DEGENERATE, NEURONS ARE LOST AND HAVE FEWER SYNAPSES
SLOWER CONDUCTION OF IMPULSES
DECREASED SENSATION AND REFLEXES
