The Nervous System

Front 1

I am the sensory pathways. I receive and pass on information. From where do I receive information and to where do I pass on this information?

Back 1

Information in received from sensory receptors and pass it to motor neurons and/or the brain

Front 2

I am the brain. I am composed of two types of nervous tissue. What are they?

Back 2

The white matter (myelinated) in the middle and the grey matter (Un-myelinated) on the outside

Front 3

I am a gland which nervous system controls me?

Back 3

The autonomic system

Front 4

I am the central nervous system. i am composed of two parts. What are they.

Back 4

The brain and the spinal cord

Front 5

I am the sympathetic nervous system. When am I activated? I am the reflex arc. What three parts of the nervous system are connected in me.

Back 5

The sensory neuron the interneuron the motor neuron

Front 6

I am a node of Ranvier. What is my function in the neuron?

Back 6

I allow action potentials to pick up speed so they can propagate down the axon and reach the target cell or tissue

Front 7

I am the motor pathways. I am composed of two systems. What are they?

Back 7

somatic and autonomic nervous systems

Front 8

What is the function of an axon?

Back 8

Conducts impulses away from the cell body

Front 9

What is the function of a dendrite?

Back 9

Receive nerve impulses from other neurons and sensory receptors

Front 10

What is the function of the Myelin sheath?

Back 10

Protects myelinated neurons and speeds the rate of nerve impulse transmission.

Front 11

The nervous system is composed of what two systems?

Back 11

The central and peripheral

Front 12

Is the somatic nervous system controlled voluntarily or involuntarily?

Back 12

Voluntarily (Under conscious control)

Front 13

I am the interneurons. I receive, integrate and pass on information, where am I found, and to where do I pass on this information?

Back 13

Found in the spinal cord and passes information to the motor neuron and effector

Front 14

I am a nerve composed of many smaller cells. What two types of cells are found in me?

Back 14

Neurons and glial cells

Front 15

I am a neuron cell body. What is my function in the neuron?

Back 15

Process information from the dendrites. Decides if the input is large enough to pass on to the axon.

Front 16

Function of Schwann cell

Back 16

wrapped around the axon increases speed of nerve impulse

Front 17

What is the function of sensory receptors.

Back 17

receive stimuli and form a nerve impulse

Front 18

I am cardiac muscle which system controls me?

Back 18

The autonomic nervous system

Front 19

What are the two systems of the autonomic nervous system?

Back 19

The sympathetic and parasympathetic

Front 20

Where do motor neurons receive information from and where is it passed?

Back 20

From the interneurons it is passed to the effector

Front 21

what are the two pathways of the peripheral nervous system

Back 21

The sensory pathways and the motor pathways

Front 22

I'm the spinal cord what two parts of the nervous system do I provide communication between?

Back 22

The brain and the peripheral nervous system

Front 23

When is the parasympathetic nervous system activated?

Back 23

in times of rest

Front 24

What are the three parts of the neuron?

Back 24

Dendrite, Cell Body, Axon
