Biopsych Review For Test#2

Front 1

What are the #2 divisons of the nervous system

Back 1

1) central nervous system
2) peripheral nervous system

Front 2

central nervous system

Back 2

division located within the skull & spine

Front 3

peripheral nervous system

Back 3

division of nervous system that is located outside the skull & spine

Front 4

#2 divisions of PNS

Back 4

1) somatic Nervous system
2) autonomic nervous system

Front 5

SNS

Back 5

part of the PNS that interacts with external environment;(composed of afferent & efferent nerves

Front 6

afferent nerves

Back 6

carry sensory signals from the skin, skeletal muscles, joints, eyes, ears, & etc... to CNS

Front 7

efferent nerves

Back 7

carry motor signals from CNS to skeletal muscles

Front 8

ANS

Back 8

part of the PNS that regulates the body's internal environment.

Front 9

# 2 kinds of efferent nerves in ANS

Back 9

1)sympahetic nerves
2) parasympathetic nerves

Front 10

sympathetic nerves

Back 10

those nerves that project from CNS in the lumbar & thoracic regions of spinal cord

Front 11

parasympathetic nerves

Back 11

project from the brain & sacral region of the spinal cord

Front 12

#3 conventional views of functions of sympathetic systems

Back 12

1) stimulate, organize, & mobilize energy resources in threatning situations
2) each autonomic target organ receives opposing parasympathetic input
3) sympathetic /\'s are indicative of psychological arousal

Front 13

#3 conventional views of functions of parasympathetic systems

Back 13

1) nerves act to conserve energy
2)target organ recieves opposing sympathetic input
3) /\'s are indicative of psychological relaxation

Front 14

#3 meninges

Back 14

1)dura mater
2) arachnoid membrane
3) pia mater

Front 15

dura mater menige

Back 15

outer tough membrane

Hint 15

tough mother

Front 16

arachnoid meninge

Back 16

next layer membrane inside dura mater

Hint 16

spider web like

Front 17

pia mater meninge

Back 17

inner most meninge which adheres to the surface of CNS

Hint 17

pious mother

Front 18

Cerebral Spinal Fluid

Back 18

protective fluid that fills the sub arachnoid space, central canal of spinal cord, & cerebral ventricles of brain

Front 19

central canal

Back 19

small central channel that runs the length of spinal cord

Front 20

cerebral ventricles

Back 20

four large internal chambers of brain

Front 21

choroid plexus

Back 21

networks of capillaries that protrude into the ventricles from pia mater lining

Front 22

blood-brain barrier

Back 22

mechanism that keeps certain toxic substances in the blood from passing into brain tissue

Front 23

#4 kinds of glial cells

Back 23

1) oligodendrocytes
2) Schwann cells
3) Astrocytes
4) microglia

Front 24

oligodendrocyte

Back 24

glial cells that myelinate axons of the CNS

Front 25

Schwann cells

Back 25

glial cells that compose the myelin sheaths of PNS axons & promote regeneration

Front 26

Astrocytes

Back 26

large star shaped glial cells that play a role in passage of chemicals from blood into CNS

Front 27

Microglia

Back 27

respond to injury or disease by engulfing cellular debris and triggering inflammatory responses.
