Anat Chap 13 Neural Tissue

Front 1

Parasympathetic Nervous System

Back 1

The section of the autonomic nervous system that controls the glands and areas of the body to calm the body down

Front 2

Sympathetic nervous system

Back 2

The area of autonomic nervous system that controls the glands and muscles used to excite the body into fight mode

Front 3

Somatic Nervous System

Back 3

The part of the nervous system responsible for voluntary movements

Front 4

Central nervous system

Back 4

The nerves that processes information in the brain and spinal cord

Front 5

Peripheral nervous system

Back 5

The part of the nervous system that is responsive for receiving sensory information and transmitting motor responses based on the information

Front 6

Satellite cells

Back 6

Supporting neuroglia of the PNS that support damaged nerve cells and regulate gas exchange within the cell

Front 7

Schwann Cell

Back 7

A supporting neuroglia cell in the PNS that myelinate the axon of neurons in the PNS

Front 8

Oligodendrocytes

Back 8

Neuroglia supporting cells that myelinate axons of the CNS

Front 9

Astrocytes

Back 9

Neuroglia supporting cells in the CNS that maintain the blood-brain barrier, regulate gas exchange

Front 10

Microglia

Back 10

Neuroglia supporting cells in the CNS that remove cell debris and waste and pathogens

Front 11

Ependymal

Back 11

Neuroglia supporting cells in the CNS that lines ventricles, produce and circulate CSF

Front 12

Anaxonic

Back 12

A nerve cell without an axon

Front 13

Psuedounipolar

Back 13

A nerve cell with single process with cell body to one side

Front 14

Bipolar

Back 14

A nerve cell with two body processes separated by cell body

Front 15

Multipolar Neuron

Back 15

A nerve cell that is the typical neuron taught

Front 16

Wallerian Degeneration

Back 16

The process of neural regeneration where damaged neurons are first cleaned up by macrophages. Then, schwann cells release growth factors to promote regrowth. Only occurs in PNS

Front 17

Vesicular Nerve Impulse

Back 17

These chemical neural connections involve release of chemical NTs and are most abundant. They propagate unidirectionally

Front 18

Nonvesicular nerve impulse

Back 18

Synaptic connections where the electrical potential passes directly to next neuron. These neurons have shared membranes so electricity passes straight through. Potentjal can occur in both directions

Front 19

Divergent Organization

Back 19

Neurons spread signal and diverge

Front 20

Convergent Organization

Back 20

Neurons organized to focus a signal

Front 21

Serial processing

Back 21

Neurons sending impulse in a sequential order

Front 22

Serial processing

Back 22

Neurons sending impulse in a sequential order

Front 23

Parallel processing

Back 23

Neurons arrange to send signal to multiple areas simultaneously

Front 24

Serial processing

Back 24

Neurons sending impulse in a sequential order

Front 25

Parallel processing

Back 25

Neurons arrange to send signal to multiple areas simultaneously

Front 26

Reverberant processing

Back 26

Neurons organize to establish feedback loop

Front 27

Reflexes

Back 27

Innate and acquired reflexes are ones that are genetically determined and learned, respectively. Ex is patellar reflex, which is innate
