| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| These are the hormones secreted by the three cell layers of the adrenal cortex. | Corticoids |
| A condition caused by hyposecretion of the thyroid gland. | Cretinism |
| A condition caused by the hypersecretion of glucocortoids from the adrenal cortex. | Cushing's syndrome |
| A condition resulting from hypo-secretion of ADH where large volumes of urine is formed. | Diabetes insipidus |
| This results when the pancreatic islet cells does not secrete enough insulin; hyperglycemia | Diabetes mellitus |
| This term means secreting into the blood or tissue rather than into a duct; a ductless system. | Endocrine |
| This is the abnormal protrusion of the eyes. | Exophthalmos |
| A condition produced by the hypersecretion of GH during the early years of life. | Gigantism |
| These are hormones that influence carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism and is secreted by the adrenal cortex. | Glucocorticoids |
| The sensory neurons. | Afferent Neurons |
| The delicate, weblike middle layer of meninges. 2nd Layer of Meninges. | Arachnoid Mater |
| The nerve tracts in the spinal cord that carry information to the brain. | Ascending Tracts |
| The portion of nervous system that regulates the activities of the internal organs (viscera). | Autonomic Nervous System (visceral nervous system) |
| The nerve fiber; conducts an nerve impulse away from the neuron cell body. | Axon |
| The brain and spinal cord. | Central Nervous System |
| The fluid in the ventricles of the brain, subarachnoid space of the meninges, and the central canal of the spinal cord. | Cerebrospinal Fluid |
| The process of a neuron that receives input from other neurons. | Dendrite |
| The nerve tracts in the spinal cord that carry information from the brain to the muscles and glands. | Descending Tracts |
| The tough outer layer of meninges. | Dura Mater |
| The motor neurons. | Efferent Neurons |
| A mass of neuron cell bodies, usually outside the CNS. | Ganglia |
| The ridges or convolutions on the surface of the Cerebrum separated by shallow grooves called a sulcus or deep groove called a fissure. | Gyri |
| The membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. Has 3 Layers. | Meninges |
| These are the efferent neurons carry impulse out of brain or spinal cord to muscles or glands. | Motor Neuron |
| The fatty material that forms a sheath like covering around some axons. | Myelin |
| The nerve cell. | Neuron |
| The chemical that an axon end secretes on an effector (muscle or gland) or another neuron. | Neurotransmitter |
| This is the sensation of changes in the internal and external environment, and the responses to those changes, the nervous system coordinates all other body systems to maintain homeostasis. | Nervous System Homeostasis |
| The narrow gaps in the Schwann cells (myelin sheath) that allow the impulse is conducted from node to node (Saltatory conduction) and thus is sped up. | Nodes of Ranvier |
| The portion of the autonomic nervous system that arises from the brain and sacral region of the spinal cord; most active under normal, restful conditions and counterbalances sympathetic nervous system. | Parasympathetic Nervous System |
| The portion of the nervous system outside the central nervous system. | Peripheral Nervous System |
| The inner layer of meninges that encloses the brain and spinal cord. | Pia Mater |
| The cell surface structures that detect changes in the environment and transmit a signal to the inside of the neuron. | Receptors |
| The difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of an undisturbed nerve cell membrane. | Resting Potential |
| The neuron that transmits an impulse from a receptor to the central nervous system. | Sensory Neuron |
| The portion of the central nervous system extending from the brain stem through the vertebral cord. | Spinal Cord |
| The space within the meninges between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater. | Subarachnoid Space |
| The shallow groove on the surface of the brain. | Sulcus |
| The portion of the autonomic nervous system that arises from the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord; prepares the body for energyexpending, stressful, or emergency situations. | Sympathetic Nervous System |
| The connection between the axon of a neuron and the dendrite of another neuron. | Synapse |
| The formulation of glucose or glycogen from protein or fat compounds. | Gluconeogenesis |
| The enlargement of the thyroid gland. | Goiter |
| The excessive hair growth, especially in women. | Hirsutism |
| The substance secreted by an endocrine gland and transported in the blood. | Hormone |
| The hormone that influences mineral salt metabolism (electrolyte concentrations); secreted by adrenal cortex; aldosterone is the chief mineralocorticoid. | Mineralocorticoid |
| The condition caused by deficiency of thyroid hormone in adults. | Myxedema |
| The set of glands located on the surface of the thyroid gland. | Parathyroid Glands |
| Affects local organs. | Prostaglandins |
| The organ or cell acted on by a particular hormone and responding to it. | Target Cells |
| The masculinization of a female. | Virilism |
| Neurons that are found only in the central nervous system where they connect neuron to neuron. | Interneurons |
