Microglial Phagocytize micro-organisms, foreign substances & necrotic tissue
Oligodendrocyte forms myelin sheats around the axons of several CNS neurons
Schwann Cells Forms myelin sheaths around parts of the axon of a PNS neuron
Refractory Period-absolute no response to stimulus
Refractory Period-relative Action Potential may be produced
Convultions Folds and ridges in the forebrains of the Cerebrum
Rami Branches of the spinal nerves-include Dorsal & Ventral
Folia Ridges in Cerebellum cortex
Dermatome Area of skin supplied with sensory innervation by a pair of spinal nerves
Plexus A braid or intermingling of the nerves
Endocrine Gland ductless gland that secretes chemical signals (hormones) into the circulatory system
Subdivisions of PNS-Sensory Transmit actions for sensory receptors receptors to CNS
Subdivisions of PNS-Motor Carries actions potentials away from the CNS in cranial or spinal nerves
Brochas Area receives input from Wernicke's area and sends implulses to the pre-motor and motor areas to activgiate the muscles requred for speech
Wernickes Area Comprehends and formulates speech
Decussation of the Pyramids Where motor tracts cross over in the medulla ..form an X
Parts of the Cerebellum "Little Brain" Superior-Midbrain..Middle-Pons..Inferior- Medulla Oblongata

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
