Chapter 15 Part 1 Flashcards
Deals with functions and disorders of nervous system
Neurology
Brain and spinal cord
Central nervous system (CNS)
Connects CNS to effectors cranial and spinal nerves
Peripheral nervous system (PNS)
Bands of axons in PNS
Nerves
Nerves emerge from brain and spinal cord
Cranial and spinal
Groups of cell body in PNS
Ganglia
Sensory receptors
Monitor simuli
Processes sensory information
Integrative function
Carries information from CNS to effectors
Motor function
Sensory CNS carries information from CNS- motor portion carries information to skeletal muscles from CNS
Somatic nervous system (voluntary)
Sensory portion carries information from smooth cardiac muscles and glands to CNS
-motor portion carries information to smooth cardiac muscle and glands from CNS and consists of sympathetic and parasympathetic portion
Accotomic nervous system (involuntary)
Reduces emotional stress and quiet sympathetic division
Massage
Input portion
Dendrites
Contains nucleus and organelles such ribosomes,lysosomes and rough ER
Cell body
Output portion conducts nerve impulses
Axon
