Chapter 4: Parts Of Nervous System

Question 1

Column

Answer 1

A set of cells perpendicular to the surface of the cortex similarity

Question 2

Tract “projection”

Answer 2

A set of axons within the central nervous system

Question 3

Nerve
Motor
sensory

Answer 3

Nerve- to Axons in periphery

Motor- from brain to muscles and glands

Sensory- to the brain

Question 4

Ganglion

Answer 4

A cluster of neuron cell bodies usually OUTSIDE the central nervous system

Question 5

Answer 6

A ridge on the surface of the brain

Question 7

Sulcus

Answer 7

Fold or groove

Question 8

Question 11

White matter

Answer 11

Axon tracts
(Bundle of neurons)
Tract- set of axons in the CNS

Question 12

Lamina

Answer 12

Row or layer of cell bodies separated from other cells

Question 13

Grey matter vs white matter

Answer 13

Grey matter- cluster of cells

White matter-cluster of neurons(tract)

Both- pathways for neurotransmitter

Question 14

neural pathway that serves to connect relatively distant areas of the brain or nervous system is usually a bundle of neurons, known collectively as

Answer 14

White matter

Question 15

Afferents

Answer 15

the axons that relay sensory information into the central nervous system (i.e. the brain and the spinal cord).

Question 16

Are ganglion found inside or outside the CNS?

Answer 16

Outside
