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
|
