Nervous System Flashcards
afferent divison
sensory information
efferent division
motor information
somatic nervous system
voluntary
autonomic nervous system
involuntary
parasympathetic division
rest and digest
sympathetic division
fight or flight
enteric nervous system
2nd brain
white matter
myelinated axons
grey matter
cell bodies and interneurons
ganglia
mass of neuron cell bodies outside the CNS
nuclei
cluster of cell bodies in CNS
Nociceptors
pain
SAME
sensory afferent motor efferent
DAVE
dorsal afferent ventral efferent
dendrites
take information in
Schwann cells
protect the axon and help the signal travel faster
axon terminals
give off information
Satellite cells
health of neurotransmitters (Sat per neuro)
Schwann cells
Myelin sheath (Schwan my pns)
Oligodendrocytes
myelin sheath in CNS (Oh leggo my cen)
Astrocytes
Astro cent - clean protect heal
Microglia
cleans (Microglia-cen clean)
Ependymal cells
CSF (Epen cen csf)
Cervical spinal nerves
C1-8 - sensory and motor : neck and upper arms
Thoracic spinal nerves
T1-12 - motor : back/torso, sympathetic smooth/cardiac muscles
Lumbar spinal nerves
L1-5 - motor : pelvis, lower limbs
Sacral spinal nerves
S1-5 - motor : lower limbs, parasympathetic (bladder and reproduction)
Cervical enlargement
lots of nerves going into arms
lumbar enlargement
lots of nerves going to legs
