25
Q

all-or-none response

A

a stimulus must be strong enough to excite the entire fiber orr non of the muscle fiber will react

26
Q

Oxygen debt

A

Extra oxygen is needed to pay off what is used while performing strenuous activity

27
Q

abduction

A

makes the bone absent or away from the midline

28
Q

tensor

A

a muscle that holds a body part rigid

29
Q

parts of the CNS

A

brain and the spinal cord

Q

sympathetic nervous system

A

prepares the body for stress (fight or flight)

31
Q

parasympathetic nervous system

A

prepares the body for rest (rest and digest)

32
Q

Autonomic nervous system

A

regulates smooth muscles, cardiac muscle, internal organs, and glands

33
Q

motor neurons

A

also called efferent neurons, have short dendrites and long axons and carry messages from the CNS to the muscles or glands

34
Q

Nociceptors

A

free nerve endings that respond to pain

35
Q

Acetylcholine

A

chemical that carries messages across synaptic cleft at the synapse, the space between two neurons

36
Q

Axon

A

the part of a neuron that carries messages away from the cell body toward target cells

37
Q

Dendrite

A

the receptive surface of a neuron; a thread-like projection like the branch of a tree

38
Q

Endorphin

A

a natural opiate produced by the brain to diminish pain

39
Q

Myelin sheath

A

a layer of insulation that surrounds nerve fibers and speeds up the conduction of electrical impulses

40
Q

Threshold

A

the point at which a stimulus first produces a response

a compression of the median nerve in the wrist

42
Q

Thoracic outlet syndrome

A

a compression of the brachial plexus or subclavian artery

outer portion of the brain where thought processes take place

45
Q

How many nerves arise from the spinal cord

A

46
Q

dura mater

A

tough mother - outermost layer of the meninges
