total number of cranial nerves
12
major blood vessels that open to the left atrium
pulmonary veins
cerebrospinal fluid is produced in the
choroid plexus
transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide via the bloodstream
respiratory gas transport
this type of conduction is seen in myelinated axons due to the nodes of ranvier
saltatory conduction
cells that undergo mitosis to replace receptor cells
basal cells
this division of the peripheral nervous system consists of neurons in the enteric plexuses of the gastrointestinal tract
enteric nervous system
this volume is not included in computing the vital capacity
RV
it is the alternate expansion and elastic recoil of an artery with each heartbeat and may be felt in an artery that lies near the surface or over a hard tissue
pulse
the first step for a sensation to occur
a stimulus must occur and activate a receptor
