Q

the functional units of the nervous system.

A

Reflex Arcs

25
T or F A simplest reflex arc consists of a sensory receptor, a sensory neuron, interneurons, a motor neuron, and an effector organ; the complex reflex arcs do not involve interneurons.
F Complex yung may INTERNEURONS Simplest NO INTERNEURON
26
consists of | nerves and ganglia outside the CNS.
PNS
27
brain and spinal cord
CNS
28
has a central gray part organized into horns and a | peripheral white part forming nerve tracts
Spinal Cord
29
The knee-jerk reflex occurs when the___________
quadriceps femoris muscle | is stretched.
30
T or F | withdrawal reflex don't removes a body part from a painful stimulus.
F | it removes the body part
31
the most | important branch of the cervical plexus.
phrenic nerve
32
plexus supplies nerves to the upper limb.
Brachial plexus
33
supplies nerves to the lower limb
lumbosacral plexus
34
functions include involuntary and voluntary | movements
Somatic Motor
35
has sympathetic and | parasympathetic divisions
autonomic nervous system
36
Preganglionic cell bodies of the _______________lie in the | thoracic and upper lumbar regions of the spinal cord.
Symphathetic NS
37
three types of neurons
Multipolar Bipolar Unipolar
38
three parts of a neuron.
Cell body, Dendrites, Axon
39
Main Components of NS
Central NS | Peripheral NS
40
destroy both microbes and cellular debris.
Microglia | is a Phagocytes
41
different | glial cells.
Astrocytes, Ependymal, Microglia, Shwann Cells, and Oligodendrites
42
messenger at the synapse
neurotransmitters
43
two or more neurons synapse with the same postsynaptic | neuron
converging | pathway
44
the axon from one neuron divides and synapses | with more than one other postsynaptic neuron
diverging pathway
45
e simplest reflex is the
stretch reflex
46
AKA patellar reflex
knee-jerk reflex
47
A reflex arc generally has five basic components:
(1)sensory receptor; (2) sensory neuron; (3) in some reflexes, interneurons, (4) motor neuron (5) effector organ
48
AKA nerve cells receive stimuli, conduct action potentials, and transmit signals to other neurons or effector organs.
Neurons
49
the nerves to | the diaphragm.
phrenic nerves
50
T or F | The left phrenic nerve would be cut to paralyze the left side of the diaphragm.
T
51
basic functional unit of the NS smallest pathway capable of receiving stimulus yielding response
Reflex arc
52
basic anatomic unit
neurons
53
neurons located between 2 communicating neurons connect spinal motor to sensory neurons
interneurons translate signals into stimulus
54
ionic basis of RMP Na+ is more concentrated inside T or F?
F- outside yung Na+ | inside is K+
55
rapid changes in the membrane potential that spreads rapidly along the fiber membrane
AP
56
its function is to send impulse from one cell to another
nerve excitation or nerve impulses
57
5 stages of AP
resting potential, threshold, rising phase, falling phase, recovery
58
released in DESCENDING PATHWAY inhibitory
endorphins
