LB 3-12 Flashcards
Neurons between sensory and motor neurons, process information, found only in the CNS, multipolar, 99% of neurons
interneurons
Three functional types of neurons
sensory, motor, and interneurons
Two classification of nervous system
structural and functional
Two branches of the Structural Nervous System
Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System
Portion of the Structural Nervous System composed of the brain and spinal cord
Central Nervous System
Portion of the Structural Nervous System composed of named nerves (including cranial nerves) and ganglia
Peripheral Nervous System
Groups of neuron cell bodies in the PNS
Ganglia
Two branches of Functional Nervous System
Sensory Nervous System and Motor Nervous System
Nervous system that detects, send signals to brain
Sensory Nervous System
Neurons that send signals to brain
Afferent neurons
Which nervous system is afferent
Sensory Nervous System
Which nervous system is efferent
Motor Nervous System
Two branches of the Sensory Nervous System
Somatic Sensory, Visceral Sensory
Nervous system for conscious sensory, known feelings
Somatic Sensory
Nervous system for not conscious sensory
Visceral Sensory
Nervous system that detects eg sight, hot/cold, tasting, pain
Somatic Sensory
Nervous system that detects eg blood values like calcium, glucose
Visceral Sensory
Nervous system that acts, sends signals from brain
Motor Nervous System
Neurons that send signals from brain
Efferent Neurons
Two branches of the Motor Nervous System
Somatic Motor, Autonomic Motor
Nervous system for voluntary motor
Somatic Motor
Nervous system for non-voluntary motor
Autonomic Motor
Nervous system that does eg move arms, breathing, blinking
Somatic Motor
Nervous system that does eg heart rate, mouth watering, going to bathroom, release of insulin/adrenaline, pupil dilation
Autonomic Motor
Two branches of the Autonomic Motor System
Sympathetic, Parasympathetic
Nervous system for fight or flight emergency
Sympathetic
Nervous system for rest and digest
Parasympathetic

multipolar
All motorneurons are _________
multipolar
