|
The brain and spinal cord
|
|
PNS includes all tissue in?
|
peripheral to the CNS, peripheral nerves
|
|
The CNS ___________ sensory information from the ______: this is incoming or ____________ information; which means senasation (pain temp, etc)
|
-interprets
-PNS -afferent *sensory neurons do this |
|
CNS sends _______ responses to the ____: these are outgoing or efferent commands (signals that produce movement)
|
motor
PNS |
|
What does the CNS control?
|
It controls the action of muscles in the organs and systems in response to sensations
*motor neurons do this |
|
A function of the CNS also includes __________ and ________________ "higher functions" What does this include and what makes it do this?
|
processing and coordinating
-consciousness -intelligence -memory -learning -emotion *interneurons do this (integrate info) |
|
The PNS delivers __________ information from receptorsin the periphery (skin and muscles to the CNS)
|
-sensory
*its sensory neurons do this |
|
The PNS delivers __________ commands from the ________ to the muscles in the periphery
|
-motor
-CNS *motor neurons do this |
|
These are neurons that usually detect"receive" sensations
|
Receptors
|
|
There are __ divisions of the ________ portion of the PNS
|
2
motor |
|
The first division of the PNS is :
|
Somatomotor Nervous System (somata=body wall)
|
|
The somatomotor vervous system controls what?
|
The Skeletal Muscle Contractions
|
|
Skeletal Muscles are associated with:
|
-The skeleton
-Voluntary muscle contractions -Some reflexes (involuntary contractions) |
|
The 2nd division of the Motor portion of the PNS is?
|
-autonomic nervous system (visceromotor Nervous system)
|
|
The autonomic nervous system influences which muscle contraction?
|
-cardiac and muscle
|
|
Smooth and Cardiac muscles are associated with what?
|
-visceral organs (heart, blood vessels, gut)
-involuntary contractions -glandular secretion |
|
There are two parts to the Autonomic system, what are they?
|
Sympatheitic and parasympathetic division
|
|
The sympathetic division of the ANS __________ the body
|
stimulates
- "flight or fight" (heart rate goes up) |
|
The parasympathetic system of the ANS __________ the body
|
relaxes
*"rest and digest" heart rate goes down |
|
Nervous Tissue is composed of ____ Cell Neurons
|
2
|
|
What are the two cell neurons that compose the vervous tissue?
|
Communicate: send signals to other neurons in the body or muscles
Glia: support the neurons, regulate ionic environment around neurons, and are ESSENTIAL for survival and funtioning of neurons |
|
What are Three main components of a typical neuron?
|
-Cell body(receives and sends incoming signals form other neurons)
-Dendrites: receive incoming signals from other neurons -Axon: carries outgoing signals to other neurons or muscles -Synaptic Nerve Terminals: ends of axonx, signal is transferred to other cell |
|
LOOK AT Which slide an memorize?

What is an Action Potential?
|
An electrical signal that travels along axon and is transmitted from the presynaptic neuron's nerve terminals to the post synaptic cell at the synapse
