Q

List the 3 structural classifications of neuron.

A

Multipolar Neurons
Bipolar Neurons
Pseudo-unipolar Neurons

21
Q

Is a point of contact between two neurons or between a neuron and another cell, such as a muscle or gland cells.

A

SYNAPSES

22
Q

Is the neuronal pathway by which a reflex occurs and has five basic components.

A

Reflex Arc

23
Q

What are the two types of cells that make up the nervous system:

A

Neurons and Glial cells

24
Q

The human nervous system is capable of a wide range of functions. What is the basic unit of the nervous system?

A

Neuron

25
Q

Consists of bundles of parallel axons with their myelin sheaths, which are whitish in color.

A

White matter

26
Q

Are the supportive cells of the CNS and NS, meaning these cells do not conduct action potentials

A

Glial cells

27
Q

_____ is a junction where the axon of one neuron interacts with another neuron or with cells of an effector organ, such as a muscle or gland.

A

Synapse

28
Q

It sends electrical signals between brain, spinal cord and the rest of your body.

A

Spinal Nerves

29
Q

Compare the central and peripheral nervous system.

A

CNS consists of brain and spinal cord. The PNS consists of all the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord.

30
Q

List the lobes of the cerebrum and state a function of each

A

The frontal lobe functions in solving problems, controlling body movements, sentence formation, and personality traits.
The occipital lobe functions in processing visual images.
The temporal lobe functions in hearing, memory formation, and learning a new language.

31
Q

Give the definition for synapses, as well as the two types of synapses and their meanings.

A

The synapse is a tiny space between two neurons in which a neurotransmitter relays nerve impulses from a presynaptic neuron’s axon to a postsynaptic neuron’s dendrite. Chemical and electrical synapses are indeed the two main types of synapses found in the brain.

A chemical synapse is a space between two neurons via which information is communicated chemically in the form of neurotransmitter molecules. An electrical synapse is a space between two neurons that is connected by channel proteins, allowing an electrical signal to pass through it directly.

32
Q

What are the similarities between axial and appendicular skeleton?

A

Axial and appendicular skeleton are the two parts of the skeleton of vertebrates including humans. Both are made up of bones, cartilage, and ligaments. They provide sites for the attachment of muscles. Both aid in the movement of the body.

33
Q

Describe left and right cerebral hemisphere

A

The left hemisphere is thought to be the dominant analytical hemisphere, and the right hemisphere is thought to be dominant for spatial reception and musical ability.

34
Q

State where the cerebellum is located.

A

Cerebellum is located at the back of the brain, underlying the occipital and temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex.

35
Q

What are the three major components when describing the structure of a synapse?

A

The “presynaptic membrane” which is formed by the terminal button of an axon. The “postsynaptic terminal” which is composed of a segment of dendrite or cell body. The space between these two structures which is called the “synaptic cleft”.

36
Q

Describe Spinal Cord and how it related to spinal nerve.

A

The spinal cord is an extension of the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and spinal cord. The spinal cord begins at the bottom of the brain stem (at the area called the medulla oblongata) and ends in the lower back, as it tapers to form a cone called the conus medullaris.Near the spinal cord each spinal nerve branches into two roots. One, composed of sensory fibers, enters the spinal cord via the dorsal root, its cell bodies lie in a spinal ganglion that is outside the spinal cord.

37
Q

Compare and contrast direct and indirect pathways.

A

The direct pathways maintain muscle tone and control fine, skilled movements in the face and distal limbs. The indirect pathways control conscious and unconscious muscle movements in the trunk and proximal limbs.

38
Q

What are the two division of Autonomic Nervous System and its function?

A

Sympathetic Division
- It prepares a person for action by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, respiration and release of glucose for energy.

Parasympathetic Division
- It is involved in involuntary activities at rest, such as digestion of food, defecation, and urination.

39
Q

You are tasked to deliver a speech. Speaking in front of an audience is extremely stressful, especially for those who suffer from stage fright. Thus, a fight-or-flight response occurs. What does the sympathetic nervous system do when the fight-or-flight response occurs?

A

The perception of stressful or dangerous situations activates the sympathetic nervous system and triggers an acute stress response that prepares the body to fight or flee. The sympathetic nervous system activates the fight-or-flight response, supplying the body with a burst of energy so that it can respond to situations that are perceived as stressful or dangerous. In these situations, the sympathetic nervous system activates to speed up our heart rate, increase blood flow to areas of the body that require more oxygen, and take other actions to help us escape from the situation we are facing.
