General structure

Question 1

microstructure

Answer 1

Functional components of a nerve cell = Different classes of glia and how they support and modulate neuronal function, concept of a tripartite synapse

Question 2

macrostructure

Answer 2

Major anatomical divisions of the brain = Examples of compartmentalised function= Understanding that brain functions are distributed

Question 3

CNS

Answer 3

brain and SC
forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain

Question 4

Peripheral NS

Answer 4

nerves
cranial nerves
spinal nerves

Question 5

3 types of neurons

Answer 5

sensory = carry messages from receptors to CNS
relay (associative) = link between sensory and motor - brain and SC
motor = messages from CNS to effectors

Question 6

neurone of NS flow steps

Answer 6

1. stimulus
2. receptor
3. sensory neuron
4. replay neuron in cns
5. motor neuron
6. effector
7. response

Question 7

forebrain

Answer 7

cerebral hemispheres
dienchepalon
thalamus, hypothalamus
central processing of information - sensory, motor, language

Question 8

midbrain

Answer 8

tactum, tegmentum
eye motricity, auditory, visual processing in Brian stem

Question 9

hind Brian

Answer 9

medulla obologata, pons, cerebellum
coordinate functions for surviving

Question 10

cranial nerves

Answer 10

12 pairs
from brain - sensory and motor information

Question 11

role of afferent neurons

Answer 11

sensory (Afferent) neurons conduct signals from receptors to CNS
from outside the body

vision, hearing, smell, taste
cute receptors, mucosa receptors
porprioception
visceral perception

Question 12

role of the efferent neurons

Answer 12

motor (efferent) neurons signals from the CNS to effectors such as muscles and glands

motricity and control
smooth and skeletal muscle

Question 13

interneurons (association neuron) role

Answer 13

confirmed to CNS

Question 14

grey matter

Answer 14

prink/grey ish
body of neurones and axon terminals
synapses are here

Question 15

white matter

Answer 15

nerves (axons)
connects different region of the NS to each other or to the body

Question 16

lateralisation of the brain

Answer 16

The left and right sides of the brain are specialised to attend to different information, to process sensory inputs in different ways and to control different types of motor behaviour.

Question 17

inter hemispheric cooperation

Answer 17

Right and left Hemisphere control opposite sides of the body
Majority of the population = dominant left hemisphere (right handed)

Question 18

Brocas area

Answer 18

language production
