Q

What does the autonomic nervous system do?

A

Controls smooth muscle, cardiac, and endocrine glands automatically.
You can not control it.
Also has sensory and motor branches.

Or glial cells. Structurally and functionally support and protect the nervous system.
Not directly involved.

16
Q

What causes the nerve impulse?

A

Depolarization and repolorization.

17
Q

Know how to draw re/depolarization

A

Woo!

18
Q

What is depolarization?

A

Sodium channel opens and sodium goes in cell. Making it positive.

19
Q

What is Repolorization ?

A

Potassium channel opens and K rushes out. Back to negative.

20
Q

Sodium potassium pump?

A

This is continually pumping 2 K in 3 Na out. Active transport.

21
Q

What is resting state?

A

When a neuron is not being stimulated.

More Na is outside and more K is inside.

22
Q

Resting membrane potential?

A

The electrical difference in charges across the membrane.

23
Q

Action potential?

A

The large change from negative to positive.

24
Q

What is threshold?

A

Strong enough stimulus to cause complete depolarization

25
Q

Cranial nerve 1

A

Olfactory. Sensory. Smell

26
Q

Cranial nerve 2

A

Optic. Sensory. Vision.

27
Q

Cranial nerve 3

A

Oculomotor. Motor. Eye movement, pupil size, focusing lens.

28
Q

Cranial nerve 5

A

Trigeminal. Both sensory/motor. Sensations from head and teeth, chewing.

29
Q

Cranial nerve 7.

A

Fecial. Both sensory/motor. Face and scalp movement, salivation, tears, taste.

30
Q

Cranial nerve 8

A

Vestibulocochlear. Seonsory. Balance, hearing.

31
Q

Cranial nerve 10

A

Vagus (wanderer). Both sensory/motor. Gestational track and respitory.

32
Q

Norepinephrine

A

Fight or flight.

33
Q

Another word for sympathetic is?

A

Adrenergic neurons

34
Q

Another word for parasympathetic is?

A

Cholinergic neurons.

35
Q

What is the primary neurotransmitter?

A

Acetylcholine
