Nervous System Test Flashcards
Store and produce csf
Ventricles
The main thought processing center
Cerebrum
Conducts impulses between brain parts and for certain eye and auditory reflexes
Midbran
Conducts messages to other parts of the brain reflex actions chewing tasting saliva production
Pons
Muscle coordination assisting with respiration balance posture and muscle tone
Cerebellum
Regulates heartbeat respiration swallowing coughing blood pressure
Medulla oblogate
Responsible for reflex actions carrying sensory ( afferent) messages up to the brain and motor (efferent) messages from the brain to the nerves that go to the muscles and glands
Spinal cord
Cover and protect the brain and spinal cord

2 divisions of the nerves system
CentrAl n peripheral
Functions of cerebrospinal fluid
A shock absorber to protect the brain and spinal cord carries nutrients circulates continually between the ventricles and wastes
How many pairs of cranial nerves
12
How many pairs of spinal nerves
31
Paralysis in the lower extremities or lower part of the body and is caused by a spinal cord injury
Paraplegia
Inflammation of the brain and is caused by a virus bacterium or chemical agent
Encephalitis
Excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricle and in some cases the subarachoia space of the brain
Hydrocephalus
Never pain caused by inflammation pressure toxins other diseases
Neuralgia
Blood flow to the brain is impaired lack of oxygen and destruction of brain tissue
Cerebrovascular accident
Brain disorder associated with abnormal electrical impulses in the neurons of the brain
Epilepsy
A disturbance in voluntary muscle action and is caused by brain damage
Cerebral palsy
Progressive condition involving degeneration of brain cells usually in persona over 50 years of age
Parkinsons disease

Known as flight or fight response
Sympathetic
The space between the axon of one neuron that lies close to the dendrites of many other neurons
