|
|
What is an acronym that aids in remembering the 7 major components? |
"SR. SIMEA" |
|
|
What is the first major component of the Nervous System Pathway and state its function. |
The first major component of the Nervous System Pathway is the Stimulus. The stimulus is a thing or event that evokes a specific reaction in an organ or tissue. |
|
|
What is the second major component of the Nervous System Pathway and state its function. |
The second major component of the Nervous System Pathway is the Receptor. The receptor is an organ or cell that is able to respond to light, heat or other external stimulus and transmit a signal to a sensory nerve. |
|
|
What is the third major component of the Nervous System Pathway and state its function. |
The third major component of the Nervous System Pathway is the Sensory Pathway/Neuron. Nerve cells that are responsible for converting external stimuli into internal electrical impulses. |
|
|
What is the fourth major component of the Nervous System Pathway and state its function. |
The fourth major component of the Nervous System Pathway is the Interneuron. The interneuron is a neuron that transmits impulses between other neutrons, especially as a part of a reflex. |
|
|
What is the fifth major component of the Nervous System Pathway and state its function. |
The fifth major component of the Nervous System Pathway is the Motor Pathway/Neuron. The Motor Neuron is a nerve cell in which impulses pass from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland. |
|
|
What is the sixth major component of the Nervous System Pathway and state its function. |
The sixth major component of the Nervous System Pathway is the Effector. The effector is an organ or cell that acts in response to a stimulus. |
|
|
What is the seventh major component of the Nervous System Pathway and state its function. |
The seventh and final major component of the Nervous System Pathway is the Action. The action is carried out as a result of the effectors response. |
