Nervous System Flashcards

1
Q

General description of CNS and the PNS, be sure to include the structures/ organs in each as well as their general function

A

-CNS: consists of the brain and spinal cord
-PNS: consists of the nerves (bundles of axons) that connect the CNS to the other body parts
-Both systems provide 3 general functions:
sensory, integrative, and motor

Q

What are the 2 divisions of PNS, be sure to include a brief description of each one

A
  • Somatic: Voluntary, controls skeletal muscle

- Autonomic: Involuntary divides into 2 divisions motor and sensory

Q

Function Classification of neurons

A

Sensory (afferent) neurons
- transmit info to the CNS
-Have specialized receptors ends usually unipolar some bipolar
Interneuron (Association) neuron
-found entirely in brain/spinal
-Transmit impulses from one part of the CNS to another
Motor (Efferent) Neurons
-Transmits impulses away from CNS to effector
-usually multipolar

Q

Structural Classification of neurons

A

Multipolar Neurons
-have any processes arising from cell body
Bipolar Neurons
- have only 2 process one arise from each end of the cell body
Unipolar Neurons
- Single process extending from cell body
