In each ventricle is a blood vessel network called the ________ that produces cerebrospinal fluid.
Choroid Plexus
Chambers within the brain that contain cerebrospinal fluid are called______
Ventricles
Where is the CSF reabsorbed through
Arachnoid villi
The ________ division of the autonomic nervous system is said to function during “rest and digest.”
Parasympathetic
The sympathetic division of the ANS is also known as which of the following?
ThoraLUMBAR Division
Preganglionic fibers leave the CNS and then synapse on
Ganglionic neurons
Preganglionic neurons of the Autonomic nervous system are located in
Brainstem
Lateral Gray Horns of Spinal cord.
Ganglionic neurons innervate all of the following (smooth, cardiac, adipose tissue, glands) except:
Skeletal muscle
The parasympathetic nervous system is especially active during which physiological state?
Digestion
A visceral motor neuron whose cell body is within the CNS is called a(n)________ neuron.
Preganglionic
In which system are the ganglia in or near the target organ? (PNS or SNS)
Parasympathetic
The parasympathetic division is also called the ________ division.
CRANIO -SACRAL
Which of the following is NOT controlled by the ANS?
Skeletal System
Visceral motor neuron nuclei are located in which part of the brain?
Hypothalamus
Sympathetic postganglion fibers that innervate the small intestines originate from the
Superior Mesenteric ganglion
Sympathetic nerves contain postganglionic fibers that innervate organs in which cavity? (think thoracic/lumbar)
Thoracic
Sympathetic pre-ganglionic fibers are ________ (short/long) and have ________ axons (myelinated/Unmyelinated)
SHORT; myelinated
Preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system are located in the
Lateral gray horns of segments T1 to L2 of the spinal cord.
Clusters of ganglionic sympathetic neurons lying along either side of the spinal cord are called sympathetic ________ ganglia.
Chain
Clusters of ganglionic sympathetic neurons that innervate organs in the abdominopelvic region are called ________ ganglia.
Collateral
Injury to the neurons of a collateral ganglion would affect the function of the
Digestive Tract
Damage to the ventral roots of the first five thoracic spinal nerves on the right side of the body would interfere with the ability to
Dilate the RIGHT PUPIL
Postganglionic axons usually are (myelinated/unmyelinated)
Unmyelinated
Stimulation of the neurons in the celiac ganglion would lead to
Conversion of Liver glycogen reserves into glucose
Which is the communication line between the CNS and the body?
PNS
Sympathetic nerves contains _____ (short/long) pregangionic fibers and ______(short/long) postganglionic fibers
Short; long
The autonomic NS conduct (somatic /visceral) (volu/involuntary)
Visceral
Involuntary
4) The ________ nervous system carries impulses to skeletal muscles.
Somatic
The heart muscle is a _________effect
Visceral
The conversion of the stimulus into an action potential to be interpreted by the brain is called
Transduction
This is an arterial bleed of blood vessels that lie within the grooves in the skull.
EPIDURAL
esponsible for structural support within a cell?
MICROFILAMENTS
Part of the Midbrain
Tegmentum
corpora quadrigemina
cerebral peduncles
The brainstem is composed of the ______,_______ and -_____
midbrain, medulla oblongata, and pons.
Characteristics of Wallerian Degeneration
Swelling appears
Neurofilaments atrophy
The axon portion degenerates.
Epinephrine induces general vasodilation because of the predominance of ______ __________
β-adrenergic receptors in muscle vasculature.
Broca’s area is most often found on the _____ (L/R) and is responsible for ________ ______
left ; motor speech.
Broca’s area is most often found on the _____ (L/R) and is responsible for ________ ______Results in inability to _______ ________
left ; motor speech; Deficits in this area result in the inability to form words. This is also called expressive aphasia.
The cerebellum is responsible for _______and _______.
balance and posture.
The _________ is responsible for heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and vomiting.
medulla
The cerebral hemispheres make up the _______
forebrain.
Which pathway carries sensory to the CNS
Ascending
Transmit a nerve impulse at highest rate
LARGE myelinated
Capable of regeneration
Myelinated nerves of PNS
The neurotransmitter, norepinehprine is secreted in the
Sympathetic postganglion
Both oligodendroglia and schawnn cell share ability to
Form a myelin sheath
During a synapse what change occurs
the permeability of the post synaptic neuron changes –> membrane potential changes as well.
Large network of Neurons within the brainstem ESSENTIAL FOR WAKERULNESS
Reticular activating system
Thought and goal oriented behaviro
PREFRONTAL Lobe
Responsible for aspects of speech
Broca area of frontal lobe
Parkinson and huntington disease associated with defects in
basal ganglia
Maintenance of constant internal environment
HYPOTHALAMUS
