Diversion Of Nervous System And Neural Pathways Flashcards
Motor neurons make up part of the somatic nervous system
What is the correct direction of an impulse carried by a motor neuron?
CNS → Muscles or glands
What is the structures in the peripheral nervous system
Somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system
What is a converging neural pathway
Impulse travels from several neurons to one neuron
Below are processes in the body under the control of the nervous system.
- Heart rate
- Breathing rate
- Peristalsis
Which process(es) are decreased when under the control of the sympathetic nervous system?
3 only
Below are processes in the body under the control of the nervous system.
- Heart rate
- Breathing rate
- Peristalsis
Which process(es) are increased when under the control of the parasympathetic nervous system?
3
What nervous systems make up the autonomic nervous system?
Parasympathetic and sympathetic
Which structures are part of the peripheral nervous system?
- Central nervous system
- Autonomic nervous system
- Somatic nervous system
2 and 3
What neurons are found in the somatic nervous system?
1 and 3
What are the effects of an impulse travelling through a reverberating pathway?
Allows for repeated stimulation of the pathway
What is a diverging neuronal pathway?
Impulse travels from one neuron to several neurons
What is NOT part of the peripheral nervous system?
Central nervous system
Somatic nervous system
Sympathetic nervous system
Parasympathetic nervous system
Central nervous system
Sensory neurons make up part of the somatic nervous system.
What is the direction of impulse carried by a sensory neuron?
Sense organs → CNS
What structures make up the central nervous system (CNS)?
Spinal cord and motor neurons
Spinal cord and the brain
The brain and motor neurons
The brain and sensory neurons
Spinal cord and the brain
What neurons are found in the somatic nervous system
Sensory neuron and motor neuron
What is a reverberating neuronal pathway?
Neurons later in the pathway link with earlier neurons
