Histo. nervous tissue Flashcards
Nerves arising from the brain are called the _____
cranial nerves
Nerves have two physiological properties:
excitability & conductivity
The SNS have that two fxn divisions
somatic sensory division
somatic motor division
ANS has what three fxn divisions
visceral sensory division (afferent) sympathetic division (efferent) Parasympathetic division (efferent)
_______ is the ability to produce action potential in response to a stim.
excitability
______ is the ability to propagate action potential along the neural membrane
conductivity
A receptor can change any stim. to an _________
action potential
Name the 4 special receptors
- see
- hear
- touch
- smell
___ conducts action potential away from the cell body
axons
____ conduct potentials toward the cell body
dendrites
What are the two parts of the neuron that deal with the action potentials
axon: away from cell body
dendrite: toward the cell body
_________ cells that support the nerve cells and their processes
neuroglial cells
Nerve fibers are extensions of _______
neurons
Name the three types of neurons
- Unipolar, pseudounipolar
- bipolar
- multipolar
_____ is a type of neuron with one process
unipolar / pseudounipolar
ganglia contain the ______ mater
grey
_______ is a type of neuron with two process
bipolar
_______ is a type of neuron with more than two process
Multipolar
Name the 4 different types of multipolar neurons
- stellate
- pyramidal
- piriform
- granule cells
What is the shape of stellate multipolar neurons
star shape
ex: autonomic
What is the shape of a piriform multipolar neuron
pear-shaped
ex: cerebeellum
What is the shape of a granule cell of multipolar neurons
small with nucleus filling most of the cell
ex: in cerebellum
