Nervous System Flashcards
Quiz One (February 5th)
Parts of the nervous system
Central nervous system & Peripheral nervous system
Central Nervous System
Brain & Spinal Cord
Peripheral Nervous System
Cranial Nerves and Spinal Nerves
Main parts of the brain
Cerebrum, cortex, subcortex, Cerebellum, Brain Stem, spinal Cord
Four Lobes of the cerebrum
Frontal/Parietal/Temporal/ Occipital
Cerebrum landmarks
Lateral Fissure/ Central Fissure
Outer surface of the cerebrum
Cortex (Cortical tissue)
Gyri
Surface
Sulci
Grooves/Fissures
Superior View
View from the top
Inferior view
View from underneath
Posterior View
View from behind
Medial View
view of the middle ( cut in half, view of inside)
Lateral view
Side View
Where all conscious thought and behavior originate
Cortical tissue
cortical
cortex
Subcortical
Deep in the cortex
Subcortical structures
White matter fibers, commissural fibers, thalamus, Basal Ganglia
Brain Stem
midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata
Control of respiration
Medulla and the pons within the brain stem are responsible for automatic control of respiration
Neurons
Stars of the show (glee cast) work together
Glia
Stage Crew, behind the scenes (will)
Unipolar
Soma on top
Pseud unipolar
out to the side (like an elbow)
Multipolar
things coming out of the top
Four Zones
Input site, Integration, Conduction, Output site
Input
Received by the dendrites and the soma, then categorized to increase or decrease the operational state of the neuron
Output
Transmission event at the synapse
