Chapter 14 : Nervous System Flashcards
What are the two ways to approach the nervous system?
- structural breakdown
- functional breakdown
The __ is the bodies main communications and control system.
Nervous system
what are the main divisions of structural breakdown?
CNS (central nervous system)
PNS (peripheral nervous system)
What are the categories of functional breakdown?
sensory (incoming signals) vs. motor (outgoing signals)
What is the CNS composed of?
- brain
- brain stem
- spinal cord
what is the role of the CNS?
- information consolidation
- processing
what is the PNS composed of?
- cranial nerves
- spinal nerves
what is the job of the PNS?
carry information to and from the CNS
sensroy neurons (arrive to/ come from) the CNS
arrive to the brain from the body
motor neurons (arrive to / come from) the CNS?
come from to the body
The __ transmits information from the CNS to the rest of the body, and sends motor information to effectors.
Motor nervous system
the __ are “voluntary” nervous systems that innervates skeletal muscle.
somatic motor
The __ are “involuntary” nervous systems that innervate cardiac muscle, sooth muscle and glands
Autonomic motor
Where does the motor nervous system come from?
The CNS
where do the somatic and autonomic motors come from?
The motor nervous system
The __ contains receptors and transmits information rom receptors to CNS.
sensory nervous system
The __ receives sensory information from skin, fascia, joints, skeletal muscle, special senses.
somatic sensory
The __ receives sensory information from the viscera.
visceral sensory.
The somatic and visceral sensory comes from what?
receptors
where does the sensory nervous system come from?
the somatic and visceral sensory
What are the two main classifications of cells in neural tissue?
- neurons
- glial cells
__ generate and and carry electrical signals
neurons
