Q

Describe the sensory functions of nervous system

A

The nervous system can detect changes in the body
(sensory)
* It sends signals to the CNS via sensory neurons

Q

role/function of sensory neuron/receptors

Q

How does the cellular structure of a neuron help it communicate with other cells and perform its functions?

A

Dendrites receive signals from other neurons, bring to cell body

axons which are specialized for rapid conduction of nerve signals then bring signal away from the cell body down axon to terminal

axon terminal-receives signal from axon, releases neurotransmitters into next dendrite (synapse)

prevent substances from entering in pns

31
Q

What is myelin and what is its function?

A

an insulating layer around an axon that increases signal speed

32

Which two neuroglial cells help form myelin?

A

oligodendrocytes in CNS and Schwann in pns

33
Q

ependymal function

A

produces cerebral spinal fluid

34
Q

What is a synapse?

A

When a neuron sends information to another neuron or another cell
this is called a SYNAPSE

35
Q

Differentiate between a chemical synapse and an electrical synapse

A

C-triggers release of neurotransmitter (most likely)

e-electrical signal is transmitted to next cell- no need for neurotransmitter

36
Q

What is the role of a neurotransmitter? Where is it released from a neuron?

A

they are released in response to stimulation they then tell next cell what to do

released from axon terminal/synapse

37
Q

What does neurotransmitter need to bind to in order to affect a cell?

A
  • they bind to specific receptors on the
    postsynaptic cell
38
Q

What determines how a neurotransmitter affects the cell

A

receptor governs the effect the
neurotransmitter has on the target cell

39
Q

After an electrical signal stops in a neuron how will the chemical synapse stop (what are the three ways to get rid of the
neurotransmitter)?

A

1-Reuptake
2-diffusion
3-breakdown

40
Q

Describe the somatic motor pathway (neurons and cells/tissues involved in pathway)

A

Starts with upper motor neuron(brain)-synapses with the LMN and releases neurotransmitter

Lower motor neuron-takes information from UMN, synapses with skeletal muscle

skeletal muscle-synapses with LMN, will do actions

41
Q

Describe the autonomic motor pathway (neurons and cells/tissues involved in pathway)

A

Starts in Pregnaglionic nueron-exits out of brain and synapses with post

Postganglionic nueron-takes info from pre, takes info to synapse to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, or gland

cardiac/smooth muscle or gland will do reaction

42
Q

What structures would be included in a sensory pathway?

A

Spinothalamic
Posterior Column
Spinocerebellar
