Q

Skin over the entire body is supplied by _______________ that carry nerve impulses.

A

Somatic Sensory Neurons

Skin over the entire body is supplied by somatic sensory neurons that carry nerve impulses

Somatic sensory neurons are a type of nerve cell that carry information from the body to the central nervous system (CNS). They are part of the somatic nervous system, which is responsible for voluntary movements and sensory processing12.
Somatic sensory neurons can detect different types of stimuli, such as touch, temperature, pain, and body position. They have specialized receptors on their endings that respond to these stimuli and generate electrical signals. These signals travel along the somatic sensory neurons to the spinal cord or the brainstem, where they synapse with other neurons. The signals are then relayed to various regions of the brain, such as the somatosensory cortex, where they are processed and perceived34.
Somatic sensory neurons play an important role in our ability to interact with the environment and perform various tasks. They help us recognize objects, discriminate textures, generate sensory-motor feedback, and exchange social cues3. They also help us avoid or cope with harmful stimuli by triggering reflexes or modulating pain

66
What are the three basic functions of the cerebrospinal fluid that helps maintain homeostasis ?
1. Mechanical protection. CS serves as a shock-absorbing medium that protects the delicate tissues of the brain and spinal cord from jolts that would otherwise cause them to hit the bony walls of the cranial cavity and vertebral canal. The fluid also buoys the brain so that it «floats" in the cranial cavity. 2. Chemical protection. CSF provides an optimal chemical environment for accurate neuronal signaling. Even slight changes in the ionic composition of CSF within the brain can seriously disrupt production of action potentials and postsynaptic potentials. 3. Circulation. CSF is a medium for minor exchange of nutrients and waste products between the blood and adjacent nervous tissue.

The broader term of small clusters of neuronal cell bodies in CNS (not the subset)
Gray Matter Both "gray matter" and "nuclei" are related to the central nervous system (CNS), but they refer to slightly different structures: 1. Gray Matter: Gray matter refers to the regions of the CNS that contain cell bodies of neurons. It can be found in various parts of the brain and spinal cord and is involved in information processing and integration. Gray matter appears gray because it contains a higher concentration of cell bodies and capillaries compared to white matter. 2. Nuclei: Nuclei are specific, localized clusters of neuronal cell bodies within the CNS. These clusters serve particular functions and are often named based on their location and function. Nuclei are a subset of gray matter and are typically associated with specific tasks or functions. In summary, gray matter is a broader term that encompasses all regions of the CNS containing cell bodies of neurons, while nuclei are smaller, more specific clusters of cell bodies within the gray matter, each with a distinct role.

143
Why is the thalamus considered a “relay station” in the brain?
The thalamus is often referred to as a "relay station" in the brain because it plays a crucial role in transmitting sensory information from various sensory organs, such as the eyes, ears, and skin, to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for processing and interpreting these sensations. The thalamus receives sensory input and then relays it to specific regions of the cortex, ensuring that sensory information is directed to the right areas for further processing and perception. It acts as a central hub for sensory information, helping to organize and distribute incoming signals to different parts of the brain, making it a vital component of sensory processing and perception.
144
Why is the hypothalamus considered part of both the nervous system and the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus is part of both the nervous system and the endocrine system because it plays a dual role. It uses neural signals to regulate various bodily functions and processes within the nervous system, while also controlling the release of hormones from the pituitary gland to regulate other endocrine organs, making it a vital component of the endocrine system. This dual function allows the hypothalamus to influence a wide range of physiological functions in the body.
145
Define a circumventricular organ.
A circumventricular organ (CVO) can monitor chemical changes in the blood because they lack a blood brain barrier. allowing it direct access to the bloodstream. CVOs play a crucial role in monitoring and regulating physiological processes by sensing changes in blood composition and relaying this information to the brain for appropriate responses. They are involved in functions like regulating thirst, monitoring blood pressure, and responding to hormonal signals.
