False
How many brain lobes do we have in our brain
We had 4 brain lobes in our brain
Which brain lobe plays a role in proprioception?
Parietal lobe
Which lobe contributes to hearing?
Temporal lobe
Which brain lobe helps with sight?
Occipital lobe
Which lobe contributes to emotions and personality?
Frontal lobe
What are the parts of the Central Nervous System, and what are their functions?
The brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the central command center organ and it controls “complex” decisions. The spinal cord helps with simple decisions and information transmission
What are the parts of the Peripheral Nervous System?
Somatic and Autonomic
sensory information & voluntary movement.
Somatic
Sympathetic - increases support increased physical activity.
Parasympathetic - increases support decreases physical activity.
Autonomic
Base unit that has very simple function – “decide” whether to transmit signal or not
Nerve
Collection of cell bodies and dendrites
Ganglia
What do Glial cells do?
Support and assist neurons
About how many neurons does a human have?
About 100 billion
System of bones which are alive
Skeleton
The _____ is a skeleton inside the body.
Endoskeleton
What do bones protect?
Organs
True or False:

What type of joint are the elbow and knee
Hinge joint
A place where two or more bones connect
Joint
A joint that doesn’t move or has very little movement and protects important internal organs.
Fixed joint
The function of a neuron is to…
Decide whether to transmit a signal or not

Synopsis
What are the spaces between the myelin sheath called?
Nodes of Ranvier
_________-sensory information & voluntary movement
Somatic
_________- Produce myelin, nourishment, repair, waste disposal, etc.
Glial cells
What makes“Simple decisions” passed to “higher” levels for that add additional information to create generate more complex decisions (hierarchical processing).
Neurons
The ________ is mostly made of the muscles that allow a body to move and be flexible.
The muscular system
How many muscles are in the human body? _________
More than 600
What are three types of muscles
Smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle
The ________ bends the joint and the ________ straightens the joins.
Flexor, extender
What connects muscle to bones?
Tendons
What connects bones to bones?
Ligaments
What is a muscle injury in which a muscle is overstretched or torn?
Strain
What condition causes skeletal muscles to becomes weaker over time?
Muscular Dystrophy
What condition causes tendons to become inflamed or torn?
Tendinitis
