CNS refers to
Fibers that carry information from skin, joints skeletal muscles to CNS are called
Collection of nerve cell bodies in CNS are called
Which neuroglial forms myelin sheath in CNS
Schwann cells form myelin sheath around
Neuron processes that receive incoming stimuli
Major role of interneuron
Several processes off cell body make it a
2 functional properties of neurons
Impulse conduction fastest in neurons that are
Gap between 2 neurons
Substance released at axonal endings to propagate a nerve impulse
Correct sequence of a reflex arc
Muscles and glands are ….receptors, effectors….
Type of reflex that involves skeletal muscles
Elevated ridge of brain tissue called
Shallow grooves of brain tissue called
Brain area for speaking
Midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata housed in
Lobe that contains primary motor area and enables voluntary control of muscles
Brain stem area that plays a role on consciousness and sleep awake cycle
Control of temperature, metabolism and thirst associated with the
Vital centers for control of visceral activity such as heart rate, swallowing
Loss of muscle coordination results from damage to the
Order the layers of meninges
Blood brain barrier effective against passage of
Brain dysfunction known as stroke
Correct sequence of nerves that exit spinal cord
Function of olfactory nerve
Nerve plexus that serves the shoulder and arm
Sciatic nerve is a combination of these 2 nerves
Sympathetic and parasympathetic are subdivisions of
Effectors controlled by ANS
Flight or fight role of
Effects of sympathetic nervous system essentially opposite the
Gray matter in CNS vs gray matter in PNS
CSF circulates through these areas
Role of 12 cranial nerves
Complex networks of spinal nerves termed plexuses
Usual cause of nervous system deterioration caused by
Protective features of CNS
Car accident- which system takes control. What symptoms are being experienced
