What structures are included in the CNS (central nervous system)?
|
Brain and spinal cord.
|
|
A student pulls their hand away from a flame before they cry out in pain. Why does this occur?
|
A reflex arc pathway was followed from stimulus to muscle without the need of the brain. Comprehension of pain comes later.
|
|
What types of neurons are only found within the brain or spinal cord?
|
Interneurons or association neurons.
|
|
PNS neurons have a myelin sheath. How does this speed up nervous transmission?
|
An impulse can jump or hop from Node to Node without having to traverse the entire length of the axon.
|
|
Autonomic nervous pathways are generally found within this branch of the nervous system
|
PNS or peripheral nervous system.
|
|
The brain is a vital organ and is protected in many ways. List three ways the brain is protected.
|
Bone (Skull)
Fluid (CSF) Meninges (3 layers |
|
Sensory neurons enter the spinal cord through the ______ root.
|
Dorsal root, or the back of the spinal cord.

The lobe of the brain most involved in hearing smell and taste is the
|
temporal lobe.
|
|
The region of the brain that reponds to a lack of water in the body would be the
|
Hypothalamus.
|
|
The region of the NS responsible for control of the endocrine system would be the
|
Hypothalamus.
|
|
The structure in the brain that communicates information between the hemispheres is the
|
Corpus Callosum.
|
|
A nervous system condition that is characterized by uncontrolled impulses is known as
|
Epilepsy
|
|
If medication fails to stop Grand Mal seizures from occuring, this region can be cut in the brain.
|
The corpus callosum.
|
|
A young man suffers brain damage during a rig accident. Afterward he experiences a dramatic change in personality. The region most likely damaged is the
|
frontal lobe.
|
|
The decision to begin walking down the street originates in this area of the brain
|
The frontal lobe.
|
|
The coordination of fingers while playing the piano is controled by the
|
cerebellum.
