Quiz 7 (final) Flashcards
Central nervous system includes (2)
- Brain
2. Spinal cord
Functions of nervous tissue (3)
- Sensory
- Interpretation
- Response
Peripheral nervous system includes (3)
- Somatic N.S.
- Autonomic N.S.
- Enteric N.S.
Is the somatic nervous system voluntary or involuntary?
Voluntary
Which branch of the PNS includes external senses, and responses to internal environment
Somatic N.S.
Is the Auntonomic N.S. Voluntary or involuntary
Involuntary
What are the two branches of the ANS
- Sympathetic
2. Parasympathetic
Which branch of the autonomic nervous system calms you down
Parasympathetic
Is the enteric nervous system voluntary or involuntary
Involuntary
What does the enteric nervous system run
Digestive system
Types of nerve cells (2)
- Neurons
2. Neuralgia
What nerve cell transmits electrical signals
Neurons
Sensory/afferent neurons are:
Sensory input
Motor/efferent neurons are:
Output
Neurons in the center (between sensory and motor)
Interneurons
Small masses of neuronal cell bodies located outside the brain and spinal cord
Ganglia
Contains nucleus, organelles
Cell body
Receiving end of the neuron
Dendrites
Carries impulses away from cell body to another neuron
Axons
End of axon
Axon terminal
Insulating protein
Myelin sheath
Gaps in myelin sheath
Node of ranvier
Site of communication between two neurons or between a neuron and another effector
Synapse
Vesicles in axon that store neurotransmitters
Synaptic vesicles
Crosses the gap between cells and triggers nerve impulses
Neurotransmitters
Produce myelin in the PNS
Schwann cells
Support neurons in the CNS; form blood brain barriers
Astrocytes
Produce myelin in CNS
Oligocendrocyte
What neuralgia makes myelin in the PNS
Schwann cells
Which neuralgia makes myelin in the CNS
Oligodendrocyte
3 things needed for a neuron to regenerate
- Cell body intact
- Myelin sheath intact
- In PNS
Process of making myelin; speeds up nerve impulses
Myelination
Auto immune disease that destroys myelin
MS
Loss of myelin or destruction of myelin sheath
Demyelination
Concentrated myelin covered axons
White matter
Cell bodies and dendrites
Gray matter
All or nothing effect; signal or no signal
Action potential
