Nervous System Flashcards
What is Saltatory?
Impluse jumping along the Axon of Neurone
What is the repratory period?
No impluse can go past - Recovery period after impluse sent.
Sodium potassium pump regulates
What is the difference between an axon & a Dendron?
Dendron recieves the information from the last neurone an takes it to cell body and the Axon takes the impluse away from the cell body.
What is a motor end plate?
The end of neurone before impluse jumps to the next neurone
Oligodendrocytes are found in the CNS, their function is too?
Insulates the neurone, allow Faster Impluse
Microgila are found in the CNS thier function is to?
Eat bacteria & dead tissue - Phagocyte
Astrocytes are found in the CNS thier function is to?
Support & Blood Brain Barrier
Scwhann Cells are found in the PNS their function is to?
Enable damages Axons to Regenerate
Sensory receptors in the somatic nervous system include?
Pacinian
Meissner’s
Krause’s End Bulb
Free Nerve Endings
Merkle Disks
Effectors in the somatic system include?
Skeletal Muscles
Sensory Receptors in the Autonomic system include?
Raffini’s Corpurse
Golgi Tendon Organs
Muscle Spindles
Effectors in the autonomic system include?
Glands
Cardiac
Smooth Muscle
List the 5 steps to Reflex arc?
- Sensory Receptor Activated
- Sensory Receptor Transmition to the CNS via Sensory Neurone
- Intergration in the C.N.S
- Motor Impluse Transmission from CNS
- The Effectors carry out the Response
Thalamus Function?
Directs messages to the right side of brain
Cerebral Cortex Function
Support Membrane, outer edge of brain
Cerebrum Function
Thinking & Learning
Consciousness
