Test 2 Spring Flashcards
HOW MANY CATEGORIES ARE THERE OF NERVOUS SYSTEM CELLS?
2 BROAD CATEGORIES
NAME THE 2 CATEGORIES OF NERVOUS SYSTEM CALLS.
NEURONS AND GLIAL CELLS
HOW MANY TYPES OF NEURONS ARE THERE?
3 TYPES
- SENSORY NEURONS
- INTER-NEURONS NEURONS
- MOTOR NEURONS
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF SENSORY NEURONS?
TAKE IN THE INFORMATION AROUND THEM FROM OTHER CELLS (SENSE)
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF INTERNEURONS? WHAT DO THEY DO?
INTERNEURONS INTEGRATE INFORMATION (INTERPRETS AND SUMS UP INFORMATION)
WHAT DO MOTOR NEURONS DO?
MOTOR NEURONS ENACT FUNCTION AND RESPONSE
WHAT IS AN EXAMPLE THAT USES ALL 3 NEURONS?
KNEE JERK REACTION
WHAT TYPE OF CELL IS A EPENDYMAL CELL AND ITS FUNCTION?
GLIAL CELL
STRUCTURAL SUPPORT
WHAT TYPE OF CELL IS A SCHWANN CELL AND ITS FUNCTION?
INSULATION OF NEURONS
WHAT TYPE OF CELL IS A OLIGODENDROCYTES AND ITS FUNCTION?
INSULATION OF NEURONS
GLIAL CELLS ALSO FUNCTION AS
MAINTAINING CONCENTRATION OF IONS AND CHEMICALS AROUND THE NEURONS
NEURONAL MAINTENANCE
WHAT DO ASTROCYTES DO? WHAT TYPE OF CELL ARE THEY?
THEY FORM BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER AND ARE GLIAL CELLS
WHAT TYPE OF CELL IS A RADIAL AND WHAT IS THE FUNCTION?
THEY PROVIDE A PATH FOR DEVELPOPING NEURONS
GLIAL CELL
WHICH CELLS OUT OF THE TWO THAT PROVIDE INSULATION OF NEURONS ARE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM?
OLIGODENDROCYTES
WHICH CELLS OUT OF THE TWO THAT PROVIDE INSULATION OF NEURONS ARE IN THE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM?
SCHWANN CELLS
