Nervous Flashcards
What makes up the central nervous system?
Brain and spinal cord
nerve fibers and cell bodies outside CNS
that conduct impulses toward or away from the CNS.
Peripheral nervous system
What makes up a nerve?
Bundle of nerve fibers
What covers a nerve?
Endoneurium, perineurium, epineurium
collecFon of cell bodies outside the CNS
Ganglion
What are afferent fibers?
Sensory- distal to proximal (touch table- sense to brain)
What are efferent fibers?
Motor (proximal to distal)- brain sends signal to touch
Cranial nerves exit the cranial cavity through __ in the cranium
Foramina
Spinal nerves=
Segmental nerves
Spinal nerves exit the vertebral column through __, and contain motor and sensory fibers
Intervertebral foramina
Motor fibers
Ventral roof
Sensory fibers
Dorsal root
Autonomic nervous system has
Sympathetic and parasympathetic
Consists of motor fibers (visceral efferent) that stimulate smooth (involuntary) muscle;
modified cardiac muscle, and glandular muscle—not under conscious control.
Autonomic system
craniosacral
Parasympathetic
