Q

Motor (efferent) division

A

motor nerve fibers
conducts impulses from the CNS to effectors (muscles and glands)

21
Q

What does the axon have and do?

A

wrapped in myelin made from glial cells
propagates impulse
Node of rainvier - gaps
Axon hillock - initial segment

22
Q

Types of neurons

A

unipolar
bipolar
multipolar

23
Q

unipolar

A

axon and dendrite in 1 process
sensory; mainly peripheral nervous system

24
Q

bipolar

A

2 processes, axon and dendrite
sensory only
not common

25
Q

multipolar

A

axon & 1> dendrite
most common
motor neurons
interneurons - impulses within the CNS to integrate sensory and motor input

26
Q

Astrocyte

A

largest and most numerous

27
Q

BBB

A

controls entry into CNS; active transport

28
Q

What can enter the BBB?

A

glucose and amino acids
not drugs

29
Q

oligodendrocyte

A

insulates axons in myelin
tie the axons together

30
Q

microglia

A

originate as macrophages as part of the CNS
immune surveillance and phagocytosis

31
Q

Ependymal cells

A

filters the blood to make CSF

32
Q

cilia

A

tight connections
between adjacent cells

33
Q

satellite cell

A

sensory and autonomic ganglia surround the cell bodies of neurons
supports nervous tissues
regulates nutrients and waste exchange

34
Q

Schwann cell

A

insulates the axons with myelin

35
Q

myelin

A

phospholipids of the glial membrane + proteins
Insulates axons - oligodendrocytes (CNS) and Schwann cells (PNS)
facilitates electrical signals along the axon

36
Q

diencephalon

A

deep within brain
processing center for sensory information and autonomic control
connects to limbic system

37
Q

What structures are within the limbic structure?

A

Amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus

38
Q

What does the lymbic system do?

A

integrate and respond to environmental stimuli
relayed through the hypothalamus

39
Q

cingulate gyrus

A

focuses attention to emotionally important events

40
Q

Brain stem parts

A

midbrain
pons
medulla

41
Q

midbrain

A

contains visual and auditory reflex centers
contains subcortical motor centers
contains nuceli for cranial nerves

42
Q

pons

A

relays info from motor cortex –> cerebellum
cooperates with medullary centers to control respiration
contains nuclei for cranial nerves

43
Q

medulla oblongata

A

relays ascending sensory pathway impulses from skin and proprioceptors
contains nuclei controlling HR, blood vessels, respiration, vomiting, hiccups, swallowing
contains nuclei for cranial nerves

44
Q

cerebellum functions

A

“little brain” - thin outer cortex of gray matter; internal white matter
helps provide smooth, coordinated body movement
subconscious
processes information from cerebral motor cortex
instructs cerebral motor cortex and subcortical, motto centers
responsible for balance and posture

45
Q

reticular formation

A

group of nuclei in the brain stem
sensory axons where there are sensory, and auditory impulses
relays information to the cerebrum through the thalamus

46
Q

cranial nerves

A

nerves connected to the brain

47
Q

spinal nerves

A

connected to the spinal cord

48
