Neuron quiz

Question 1

Autonomic and somatic nerves. Comprised of nerves that carry information between body and CNS

Answer 1

Peripheral nervous system

Question 2

Involuntary, specialized sensory and motor nerves designed to control the internal and environment of the body. Controlled by hypothalamus and my medulla obbligato in brain

Answer 2

Automatic nerves

Question 3

Voluntary, specialized sensory and motor nerves designed to deal with the external environment of the body, controlled by cerebellum and frontal lobe of cerebrum

Answer 3

Somatic nerves

Question 4

receives information from receptors or other neurons

Answer 4

Dentrites

Question 5

Release neurotransmitter into synpase

Answer 5

Axon terminal

Question 6

Projects from cell body. Very thin, vary in length, carrie the impulse towards the other neurons or effectors

Answer 6

axon

Question 7

Myelinated neurons have gaps where there is no myelin. Impulse jump from one node to another

Answer 7

Nodes de Ranvier

Question 8

Delicate membrane formed by Schwann cells in PNS. Allows for repair

Answer 8

neurilemma

Question 9

Type of neuroglial cell that line the axon and secrete myelin

Answer 9

Schwann cells

Question 10

Soma. Contains nucleus and other cell parts. Carries out metabolic activities

Answer 10

Cell body

Question 11

Myelinated nerve tissue, found in the deep layers of the brain and the outer portion of the spinal cord

Answer 11

White matter

Question 12

Non-myelinated nerve tissue, found in the surface layers of the brain and the centre of the spinal cord

Answer 12

grey matter

Question 13

Brain and spinal cord. acts as a coordinating centre or regulator for the body of incoming and outgoing information

Answer 13

Central nervous system

Question 14

Nerves arise from ribs and small of the back [fight/flight/freeze]

Answer 14

Sympathetic

Question 15

Nerves arise directly from brain or neck and tailbone sections of spinal cord [rest + digest]

Answer 15

parasympathetic

Question 16

Non-conducting cells, nourish and support the nerve cells. 90% of cells in human CNS

Answer 16

glial cells

Question 17

Functional units of the nerve the system, conduct impulses there are three

Answer 17

Neurons

Question 18

Relay info about environment to the CNS for processing. Associated with the receptor cells in contact with environment(touch receptor in skin)

Answer 18

Sensory [afferent] neurons

Question 19

Form links within body. Found within brain and spinal cord [CNS]. The integrate and interpret sensory info and connect it to the outgoing motor neurons(make decisions)

Answer 19

Interneurons ( associated neurons )

Question 20

Relay info from the CNS to the effectors. Effectors could be muscles, glands or organs (get message to gland/muscle)

Answer 20

Motor(efferent) neurons

Question 21

Covering of glial cells along axon(white matter neuron only)

Answer 21

Myelin sheath

Question 22

parasympathetic neurotransmitter

Answer 22

Acetylcholine

Question 23

Sympathetic neurotransmitter

Answer 23

norpinephrine
