receives messages from other neurons
synapses

-
- O-------<
-
it's the O, holds the nucleus
what has to happen for an impulse to start
enough transmitters have to lock onto the dendrites
what do drugs do
where do they lock
act as false impuses
lock onto dendrites and stay on because enzymes con't break them off
what are the three kinds of neurons
sensory
motor

when chemicals come in contact with the surface of the neuron they
change the balance of the ions and initiates the exchange of ions
where do the ions come in and out
the axon
what happens to allow sodium into the cell
NEUROTRANSMITTERS HAVE TO LOCK ONTO THE DENDRITES
where are synapses and what travels across them
they are at the ends of the axons, neurotransmitters sail across them into the dendrties of the next cell

neurotransmitters
what happens when nueron transmitters hit dendrites
the action potential starts all over again
what are sensory neurons

what is stimulus in reference to response
stimulus is the info that comes in and response is the result
what does the release of neurotransmiters follow
the action potential response
do myelinated sections of the axons repond with action potential?
no, so the ions move in and out of the nodes ranvier

what are nodes of ranvier
how longs are neurons
as long as 3ft

white because of myelin layer
what is the difference between the grey and white matter
melin layer vs. none
what is origional charge of the inside of a neuron
negative
what is the origional charge of the outside of a neuron
positive
I just got stabbed, take me thru the process of feeling it and response
dendrites of nerves nder the skin pick up, sodium rushes in, changes the charges +in and - out, then the K go out, reestablish the charges form before
originally what ion is in and which is out
in K
out Na
what is the ratio of Na out to K in
3:2
the thicker the neuron bundle the
more messages sent,
what is depolarization
when sodium rushes in---occurs
what is re polarization
when sodium leaves, when neurons preparing for next impulse
what is the most common neurotrans
acetylcoline
what kind of matter is the brain
grey matter
what parts of brain arent' gray?
pons /medula
where is the only place that Na can get in or out
the nodes of ranvier
why does impulse travel faster on grey matter
impulses can jump around
what is autonomic response
subconcious
sympathetic systems.
Its general action is to mobilize the body's resources under stress; to induce the flight-or-fight response.
adrenaline , blood flow off stomach
parasympathetic nevous system
calms down sypathetic, stops adrenaline and gets youback to normal, when you find scary not scary
what is under control of the concious nervous system
cognitave, language, memory
what is your olest sense
nose
what brain controls vocals
brocas brain on the left side
what brain lets us understand language
wernikes area
on left behind ear
what does the cerebellum do
back brain, fro balance and auditory
what is the inside of your ear and what does it tell us
cochlea, tells us how we are standing
not full seizures
pedimentall
how do brain waves act during a sizure
not chaotic
pituitary gland
master gland
makes many hormones
blood pressure control
hypothalamus
as a baby you have _____ not bone
cartilage
when you are 4-5 what happens to the cartilage
ossification
turns to bone
suture
when bones come together
why are bones honeycombed
less mass and gives more internal strength
what holds a bone together at a joint
ligament
what are the 4 kinds of joints
ball and socket-shoulder/hip
pivot/hinge-elbow/knee one way
ellipsoid/gliding- neck /wrist
saddle joint--opposible thumb
ball and socket
shoulder and hip
a ball-like knob at the end of it, and the knob fits into a cup-like space on the other side.
360
pivot
neck
rotation
hinge joint
knee/elbow one way
like a hinge
ellipsoid joint
flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction are allowed; but no axial rotation.
saddle
flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction are allowed; but no axial rotation.
bone to bone
ligament
bone to muscle
tendon
why is the lower back a problem
all gravity and force pushing on that.
residual muscle tension
tone
even if you are relaxed what happens with muscles
atp used to keep kinda tense
origin
opposite insertion
where muscle is attached to the bone, a bone that doesn't move
insertion

origin
radius,
bone that does move
adductor

opp abductor
muscles moving IN LINE
abductor

opp adductor
muscles moving from body
extensor

opp flexor
straightening or extending
flexor

opp extensor
bring it in
what is rigor mortiss and when does it kick in
Note that it rigor mortis is a condition where this cycle stops before this step occurs. Rigor mortis happens because after a person dies, they stop making ATP. So no ATP is available to free the myosin from the actin. Therefore, myosin stays attached to actin and muscles become rigid.
