What are the tree basic functions of the nervous system?
Sensory input (afferent)
Integration
Motor output (efferent)
State the 2 subdivision of afferent division?
Somatic sensory division
Visceral sensory division
Say three functions of somatic sensory?
1. Exteroceptors(pain, pressure, vibration, temp)
2. Proprioceptors
3. Special senses (hearing, equilibrium,vision)
Say two functions of visceral sensory?
1. Interoceptors (stretch, pain, temp/chemical change,
irritation in visceral, nausea and hunger)
2. Special senses (taste, smell)
State the two subdivisions of efferent division?
Somatic motor
Visceral motor
Describe the function of somatic motor?
Innervation of skeletal muscles
Describe visceral motor?
Innervation of
1.smooth muscle
2.cardiac muscle
3.glands
What do you call the commanding center of the nervous system?
CNS
What do you call the nervous system outside CNS?
PNS (Peripheral Nervous System)
What is the area in PNS, where the cell bodies of neurons are clustered.
Ganglia
Define neurons/nerve cells.
Highly specialized cell that can conduct electric signals from one part of the body to another.
What do you call the electric signal?
Nerve impulse/action potential
What is another name for the cell body?
Soma
What is the endoplasmic reticulum and free ribosomes in neurons called?
Nissil bodies/chromatophilic bodies
Protein synthesis
What do you call the intermediate filaments between Nissl bodies?
Neurofibrills
Keep the cell from being pulled apart.
Define dendrite (little tree)
Receptive site of neuron
Define axon
Impulse generator and conductors
What do you call the cone-shaped region of the cell body that initial axon segment arise from?
Axon hillock
Function of axon hillock.
Action potential is generated here. Neurotransmitter is secredted here too.
What lacks in axon that cell body has?
Nissl bodies and golgi apparatus. No protein systhesis.
What do you call the neuron that send action potential toward synapse?
Presynaptic neuron
What do you cal the neuron that send action potential from the sysnapse and to the effector?
Postsynaptic neuron
What do you call the synaps between dendrites and axon terminals?
Axodendritic synapses
What do you call the synaps between axons and neuron cell bodies?
Axosomatic synapses
What do you call neurons with
1. numerous dendrite and one axon.
2. two proccesses that extend to both sides.
3. Inverted T shape process
1. Multipolar neuron
2. Bipolar neuron
3. Unipolar neuron
Where are each type of neurons found?
1.Multi- motor neuron, interneurons
2.Bi-special sensory organ(inside ear, inside nose, retina of eyes)
3.Uni-Sensory neuron
What do you call the neuron that lie between sensory neuron and motor neuron?
Interneuron
Function of Sensory neuron?
It transmit impulses from sensory receptors to CNS.
Where is the cell bodies of sensory neurons?
In dorsal ganglia
Function of motor neuron?
It carries impulses away from CNS and to effector organs.
What do you call the supporting cells that do not become electrically exited, but can multiply greatly?
Neuroglia/glial cells
What neuroglia/glial cells are found in CNS?
Astrocytes
Microglia
Ependymal cells
Oligodendrocytes
Which one nourish neurons, maintain ionic concentration, take up excess nurotransmitter?
Astocytes
Which one remove invading organism like bacterial and waste by phagocytosis?
Microglia
Which one line the verticles of the brain and central canal of spinal cord?
Ependymal cells
Which glial cells form the myelin sheath of neuronal processes in white matter of CNS?
Oligodendrocytes
What are two glial cells in PNS?
Satelite cells and Schwann cells
How are satelite cells and Schwann cell different?
Function
Satelite cells are on neuron cells in ganglia. Protect the cell.
Schwann cells are on axon. Insulate the axon for fast action potential.
State the 3. connective tissues around around Schwann cells starting from outside.
Epineurium
Perineurium
Endoneurium
What kind of connective tissue are they?
Epineurium-dense irregular
Perineurium-areolar
Endoneurium-dense irregular
