the autonomic nervous system consists of the
sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called
a sensory neuron, afferent neuron
the largest and most numerous type of neuroglia is
astrocytes
functions of CNS
integrating sensory information, evaluating the information, intiating an outgoing response
part of the nervous system that transmits impulses from the cns to the skeletal muscle
somatic nervous system
myelin sheath is formed by
schwann cells
myelin sheath
it is important for nerve impulse conduction, it covers cell bodies in the brain and spinal cord it is destroyed in multiple sclerosis
nissle bodies are comparable to which organelle in other cells
endoplasmic reticulum
along a neuron the correct pathway forimpuls conduction is
dendrite cellbody and axon
neuron that has only one axon but several dendrites is classified as
multipolar neuron
reflex arc
it always consists of an afferent neuron and efferent neuron brain and spinal cord
multipolar neurons have
multiple dendrites and one axon
sensory neurons are usually
multipolar
fasiciles are held together by a connective tissue layer called the
perinerium
gray matter in the brain and spinal cord consistes primarily of
cell bodies
the white matter of the nervous system is made up of
myelinated fibers
regeneration of nerve fibers will take place only if the cell body is intact and the ibfers have
neurilemma
neuron with a resting potential
sodium pump has moved na+ to the outisde of the plasma membrane
the first even to occur when adequate stimulus is applied to a neuron is
potassium channals open
action potential
outside of the plasma membrane is negatively charged and the inside is positively charges
dopamine
cannot cross the blood brain barrier
when neuron is at rest
sodium still diffuses out
a slight shift away from resting membrane potential in a specific region of the plasma membrane
local potential
during relative refractory period
the action potential can be initiated with a strong stimulus
strength of a stimulus is accomplished through
magnitude of nerve impulses
synapse consists of
synaptic knob, a synaptic cleft, the plasma membrane of a post synaptic neuron
synaptic knob would be located
on axon
impulse reaches a synapse
chemical transmitter released
excitatory neurotransmitters are most likely to
initiate an action potential
amines are not one of the main chemical classes of neurotransmitters
true
neurotransmitters are released in a synapse and bind to
receptors on the postsynaptic neuron
enkephalins
neurotransmitters that inhibit the conduction of pain impulses
phenelzine
an antidepressant that blocks the action of MAO monoamine oxides
cell body are also called
perikaryon
dendrites
conduct impulses towards the cell bodies
interneurons resides in
the cns only
deepest connective tissue layer of a nerve
endoneurium
nerves that contain mostly afferent fibers are
sensory nerves
white matter in the cns consistes of
myelinated nerve fibers
compared with the outisde of the neuron the inside has a
negative charge
dopamine epinephrine and norepinephrine are classified as
Amines
human nervous system
most cells are glia
astrocytes attach to
neurons and blood vessels
one of the components of the blood brain barrier is
astrocytes
schwann cells
oligodendrocytes
telodendria
where the axon leaves the cell body
stimulus gated channels opne in response
sensory stimuli, influx of potassium
nervous system can be divided
according to its structure, direction of information flow, control of effectors
autonomic nervous system does not simulate
skeletal muscles
parasympathetic nervous system is part of the
efferent pathway of autonomic nervous system
no impulse can be sent through a neuron
during absolute refractory period
synapse can occur only between an axon
a dendrite
neurons have
very limited capacity to repair themselves
