Division Of The Nervous System KA1 Flashcards
How does the somatic nervous Stanton control voluntary movements
Contains sensory merit ons that takes impulse from the sense organs to the CNS
The motor neurones take the impulse from the CNS to the muscle glands to bring about a response
What is purpose of the sympathetic nervous system
To prepare the body for action and heart rate will increase the flow of blood and oxygen to the muscles for respiration
What is a reverberating pathway
When neurones later in the pathway link with earlier neurones
Sending impulse back through the pathway for repeated stimulation
What is a converging pathway
When the signal from several neurones travel and coverage on 1 neurone
(Summinatjin)
What is the function of the Brian
Process information
What are some bodily process that are controlled by the autonomic nervous system
Heart rate
Breathing rate
What is the PNS made up is
Peripheral nerves
What is the CNS made up of
Brain
Spinal cord
What are the 3 types of neural pathways
Converging
Diverging
Reverberating
What does the sympathetic nervous system do
Acts as a acceleration of the heart and breathing rate during periods of stress
What are the parts of the peripheral nervous system called
Somatic nervous syetem
Autonomic nervous system
Hat is the function of the spinal cord
Connects brain with the PNS
What is a diverging pathway
When the Signal from one neurone travels to several to bring about an effect in many destinations at the same time
What is the function of the peripheral nerves
Carries info between the CNS and all the other parts of the body
What does the subtopic nervous system control
Controls the involuntary, unconscious actions that bring about a steady state in the body
