Exam 4 Flashcards
- two processes
- found in special sense organs between receptors and other neurons
Bipolar Neurons
- fused dendrite and axon
- most sensory neurons
Unipolar Neurons
- two ore more dendrites and singe axon
- most common neurons in CNS and all motor neurons controlling skeletal neurons
Multipolar Neurons
proteins for neurons are made in _____ but are needed in the _____
the soma -axon dendrites
Oligodendrocytes
-creates myelin in CNS
Ependymal Cell
- CNS
- produce and circulate CSF
Microglia
- CNS
- macrophages that kill dead tissue
Astrocytes
- CNS
- brain blood barrier
Schwann Cells
-myelin in the PNS
Satellite
- PNS
- insulate soma on ganglia
White Matter
bundles of axons
Grey Matter
bundles of dendrites and cell bodies
Corpus Callosum
connect two cerebral hemispheres
Frontal Lobe
voluntary motor control, foresight, memory
Parietal Lobe
receives and interpreters general senses, tastes, and visceral processing
Occipital Lobe
Visual Center
Temporal Lobe
hearing
Insula
Deep lateral sulcus
Cingulate Gyrus
Links behavioral outcomes to motivation
Hippocampus
primary learning center
Amygdala
fear processing
Thalamus
filters sensory information
hypothalamus
-subconscious centers involved with rage pleasure, pain, sexual arousal
Medulla
-most primitive functions-sensory
Reticular Formation
-fills gaps between gray matter and has many connections with cerebrum
Cerebellum
- mini brain
- balance
