The Nervous System Flashcards
1
Q
SRSCM
A
Stimuli->Receptor->Sensory Neurone->CNS->Motor Neurone->Effector cells
2
Q
Stimuli
A
What you detect, e.g a prick on a finger or a change in the environment
3
Q
Receptor
A
Detect stimuli with receptor cells found in receptor organs
4
Q
Sensory Neurone
A
Sends impulse from receptor to the CNS, they a transported by neurones
5
Q
CNS
Central nervous system
A
The brain/spinal chord, they receive the impulse from the SN and interprets it
6
Q
Motor Neurone
A
Sends impulse from CNS to the effector cells
7
Q
Effector cells
A
Responds to impulse sent by MN by flinching or moving
