Chapter 8- Nervous Systems Flashcards
What is the CNS?
The central nervous System that consists of the brain and spinal cord
What is PNS?
Peripheral nervous system this is the four pairs of cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal nerves
What is ANS?
Automatic nervous system a subdivision of PNS which controls the motor functions of the internal organs
What is a cell body?
Hey so body contains the nucleus and most of the cytoplasm
What is a dendrite?
The process dessins the airport towards the cell body
What is a axon?
The process that says impulses away from the cell body
What is Neurilemma?
I think covering along the action that is external to the myelin which is present for most regeneration of the axon
Sensory (afferent)
Send signals towards the central nervous system it has long dendrites and a short axon
Motor (efferent)
Sends signals away from the central nervous system and has short dendrites or the dendrite maybe absent in the action as long
Interneuron
Found between sensory and motor units which is contained within the central nervous system
What is the histology of neuroglia?
Support regulation and protection of neurons
Myelinated axon
Transmit ACH potential faster
Ventricles?
HAs 4 hollow spaces within the brain
What is the CSF?
Cerebrospinal fluid which is on the outside of the spine
Histology of neural tissue?
Neurons for processing transferring and storage of information
Neuroglia for support regulation and protection of neurons
