Final Flashcards
Afferent and Efferent Nuerons
Sensation is afferent neurons towards
Efferent Nuerons away to a reaction
Nueron Structure
Cell body
Dendrites
Axons
Structure of Nueron
7 Common Nuerotransmitters
Glutamate- memory
GABA- calming
Dopamine- pleasure
Adrenaline (Epinephrine) – fight or flight response
Serotonin-mood
Oxytocin-the ‘love’ neurotransmitter because it releases when people socially bond
Acetylcholine- learning
3 Neurotransmitter Dieseases
Parkinson’s disease • Alzheimer’s disease • Depression
Imbalances of Nuerotransmitters
Poor Diet
Genetic Factors
Toxic Substances
Certain drugs
Hormones
Can you naturally balance Nuerotransmitters
Yes: lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise (dopamine) • Yes: receiving or giving affection (serotonin, oxytocin) • Yes: spending time outdoors • Yes: mindful/brain exercising
5 ways to naturally balance hormones
Chapter 7 6 questions on final
What are the two other systems that work with the central nervous system
Cardiovascular and respiratory
Nuerotransmitters that effects emotions
Dopamine oxytocin, acheytocholine
Afferent division includes 3 things
Somatic sensory
Visceral sensory
Special sensory
Efferent Division
Somatic motor
Autonomic motor
What cell covers the axons
Schwann cells. The membranes of Schwann cells contain a large amount of a lipid-protein substance called myelin
What Nuerotransmitters is essential for memory?
Glutamate
Two central functions of nervous system
Autonomic and peripheral nervous system
3 phases of Tissue Healing
Inflammatory Response (2-4 days)
•Pain, swelling, redness
•Decreased collagen synthesis
•Increased # of inflammatory cells
•Fibroblastic repair Phase (4-6 weeks)
•Collagen fiber production
•Decreased collagen organization
•Decreased inflammatory cells
•Maturation-remodeling Phase (3 wks to yrs)
•Proper collagen fiber alignment
•Increased tissue strength
What are the chemical components of vaping?
Nickel and lead
The autonomic nervous system can be divided into two systems?
Parasympathetic and sympathetic 
The autonomic nervous system
Place an important role in maintaining homeostasis 
The brainstem is located
Inside the base of the school, just above the spinal cord and is responsible for many metabolic functions and reflexes
The cerebrum is
The largest dome of the brain that is divided into right, and left cerebral hemispheres
Motor cortex
Is essential for coordination movement to occur
The brain is divided into three major parts
Cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem
A motor unit consists of
One motor, neuron, and all of the muscle fibers that it is responsible for activating 
A motor neuron is
Are somatic neuron, the innervate, skeletal muscle fibers
Golgi tendon organs
Continuously, monitor, monitor the tension produced by muscle contraction
Kinesthesia
Means conscious recognition of the position of body parts with respect one another
All or none law for Nuerons
If a neuron impulse is initiated, it will travel the entire length of the actual axon. If it is not initiated, it will not travel at all. 
Repolarization comes
After depolarization
