41
Q

spinal nerve - skin and muscles of leg and foot -S1

A

sciatic (sacral plexus)

42
Q

spinal nerve - perineal region, S3

43
Q

primarily supplies skeletal muscles with nerves (voluntary movements)

A

somatic (SNS)

44
Q

sends impulses to glands, cardiac, smooth muscles (involuntary movements)

A

autonomic (ANS)

45
Q

system that produces increased heart rate, vasoconstriction, increased BP in stressful times

A

sympathetic system (fight or flight)

46
Q

system that produces decreased heart rate, vasodilation, decreased BP in periods of calm

A

parasympathetic system (rest and relaxation)

47
Q

3 structures of neuro cells

A

dendrites (cytoplasmic projections, receive impulses), cell body and nucleus (accept and interpret impulse), axon (transmits from cell body)

48
Q

cells that protect and support neurons

A

glial cells

49
Q

cells responsible for impulse conduction

A

neuro cells

50
Q

white lipoid covering on axons in PNS

A

myelin sheath

51
Q

purpose of myelin sheath

A

avoid impulse stimulating an adjacent nerve, accelerates transmission through axon

52
Q

grey matter

A

unmyelinated fibers

53
Q

glial cell that wraps around axon in PNS

A

schwann cell

54
Q

space between axon of one nerve and dendrite of another

55
Q

neuron that ends with a synapse

A

presynaptic neuron

56
Q

neuron that begins with a synapse

A

postsynaptic neuron

57
Q

cells that help ward off infection, dont transmit but do reproduce

58
Q

4 ttypes of neuroglial cells

A

astrocytes (star shaped, prrevent molecules from entering brain capillaries); oligodendrocytes (develop myelin), microgial cells (phagocytic), ependymal cells (ciliated cells in fluid-filled CNS cavities, circulate cerebrospinal fluid)

59
Q

large bundle of axons wrapped in connective tissue

60
Q

cell bodies grouped together in mass, attached to axon

61
Q

5 steps of neural response

A

reception, transmission, integration, transmission, actual response

62
Q

stimulus results in predictable automatic response

A

reflex action

63
Q

protective response

A

withdrawal reflex

64
Q

A

resting potential

65
Q

initiated with sodium ions, allowing neuron to depolarize axon

A

action potential
