Fuckin nerves and shit 11.1 Flashcards
How do cells communicate?
electrical and chemical signals
Which function gathers information about internal and external conditions?
Sensory
What function processes and interpretation the sensory input?
Integration
Which function is the response, activation of effector organs (muscles and glands)?
Motor output
auto
self
pathos
suffer/feel
Part
brain and spinal cord, integrative and control center
Central nervous system
Part
cranial nerve and spinal nerve, communication from CNS and rest of the body
PNS
Part
somatic and visceral sensory nerve fibers, conducts impulses from receptors to the CNS
Sensory (afferent) division
Part
conducts impulses from the CNS to effectors
motor efferent division
Another name for afferent division
sensory
Another name for efferent division
Motor
Voluntary or involuntary
Somatic
voluntary
Voluntary or involuntary
autonomic
involuntary
Part
conducts impulses from CNS to skeletal muscles
Somatic
Part
Conducts impulses from CNS to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and glands
Autonomic
Part
mobilizes body systems during activity
sympathetic
Part
conserves energy, promotes house keeping functions during rest
Parasympathetic
2 basic cell types?
Neurogila and neurons
Which nervous cell supports cells of various functions?
neurogila
Which nervous cell transmits electrical signals?
neurons
Which neurogila cell forms permeable barrier, lining the cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid?
Ependymal
Which neuroglia cell has cilla?
Ependymal
Which neuroglia cell clings to neurons and capillaries?
astrocytes
aster/ astro
star
What is the function of astrocytes?
nutritional support
modulate neuronal activity
releases neurotransmitters
Which neuroglia cell wraps the CNS nerve fibers, forming insulating myelin sheaths of thicker nerves?
oligodendrocytes
oligo
few
dendron
tree
Which neuroglia cell is small and phagocytize microorganisms and neuronal debris (clean shit up) and migrate toward injured neurons
microglial
Which neuroglia cell surrounds the neuron cell bodies in PNS?
Satellite cells
Which neuroglia cell surrounds and forms myelin sheaths of neurons in PNS?
Schwann cells
What are the 6 different neuroglia cells?
astrocytes microglial ependymal oligodendrocytes microglial satellite schwann
postmitotic
after mitosis no longer dividing
which part of the cell receives input
dendrites
How does the imcoming messages from the dendrites to the cell body come?
graded potentials
dendritic spines
little bumps where synapses form
Are dendrites pre or post synamptic
yo look it up
Which part of the neurons contains the cell nucleus and dna
soma
Where are most neuronal cell bodies located?
CNS
Which part of the neuron sends output
axon
anterograde
forward away from soma
retrograde
backward toward soma
What releases neurotransmitters and forms synapse with other cells?
axon terminals
what does the axon rely on the soma for
proteins and mRNA
how does the proteins and mRNA get from the soma to the axon
microtubules by motor proteins
What are the two types of neuronal processes
dendrites and axon
What is the junction between axon and soma
axon hillock
What is the decision point of the neuron
axon hillock
What integrates and sums electrical inputs from dendrites
axon hillock
When voltage is high enough in the axon hillock what happens
AP is generated
What protects and electrically insulates the axon
myelin sheath
what increases speed of nerve impulse transmission
myelin sheaths
