Term
Definition
Sympathetic System   Fight or Flight, Helps body cope with emergency situations.  
🗑
ParaSympathetic   Rest and Restore, brings body back to resting state, facilitates all body processes to replace resources used during emergency  
🗑
What does endocrine & Nervous system have in common when it comes to communication and control?   They both use chemicals to carry messages.  
🗑
What are the 2 main divisions in the nervous system?   Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)  
🗑
Central nervous system definition?   Brain and spinal cord  
🗑
Peripheral Nervous System Definition?   Nerves to link the CNS to rest of the body  
🗑
What are the three main activities of the nervous system? (SIM)   Sensory-Recieves, analyze, and store Integrating function- produce response Motor function-Instructions to body  
🗑
T OR F, neurons=nerve cells, have high requirement of oxygen?   T  
🗑
What does neuroglia do for neurons/nerve cells?   Support and protect  
🗑
Whats the function of dendrites?   Receives stimuli  
🗑
Function of Axons?   impulses  
🗑
Define Afferent?   Conducts stimuli Towards Cell Body.  
🗑
What is a myelinated axon?   conducts impulses FASTER than those without myelin.  
🗑
What does the spinal cord have that sends signals to the body?   Gray and White Mater  
🗑
What is Efferent?   Conducts Impulses AWAY from CNS. also called motor nerves.  
🗑
What are mixed nerves?   nerves may contain both kinds of nerve fibers most nerves in the PNS are mixed nerves  
🗑
What is Autonomic Nervous System?   coordination of automatic body functions example is stimulating release of digestive juices in response to ingestion of a meal  
🗑
What is Somatic Nervous system?   conscious or voluntary control of skeletal muscles  
🗑
True or False, Polarization means extremely active and going.   False, Polarization means resting state.  
🗑
What is Refractory Period?   very brief time period when a neuron is insensitive to additional stimuli  
🗑
List four Neurotransmitters.   Acetylcholine, Catecholamines, GABA, Glycine  
🗑
List four ways to stop the neurotransmitters.   acetylcholinesterase monoamine oxidase (MAO) catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT)  
🗑
white matter   contains most of the myelinated nerve fibers  
🗑
gray matter   contains most of the neuron cell bodies  
🗑
Whats the largest part of the brain and what does it do?   Cerebrum=functions associated with learning and intelligence  
🗑
What is the purpose of reflexes?   rapid, automatic responses to stimuli designed to protect the body designed to maintain homeostasis  
🗑
pupillary light reflex (PLR)   normal response to shining light in the eye of an animal is for the iris in both eyes to constrict  
🗑
palpebral reflex   light tap on medial canthus of eye produces a blink of eyelids  
🗑
What is pupillary Light Reflex Hint: POKE THE EYEBALL FOR REACTION   normal response to shining light in the eye of an animal is for the iris in both eyes to constrict  
🗑
What is Crossed extensor reflex.   contralateral reflex afferent sensory impulse synapses with interneurons - crosses to other side of spinal cord and stimulates muscles that extend the opposite limb. ie. falling over and stops yourself fm falling over tack  
🗑
What Withdrawal Reflex. (Flexor Reflex)   also called flexor reflex several interneuron synapses results in contraction or flexing of muscles Example - pulling hand away from hot stove  
🗑
What is Stretch Reflex.   Simple two neuron reflex arc Muscle is stretched and send impulse to spinal cord Send signal back to contract Body can maintain tension and tone to prevent overstretching Example - patellar ligament tap…knee jerk reflex  
🗑
What is Hypperflexive.   with injury, intact reflex arcs caudal to the spinal cord trauma become  
🗑
What is Hyporflexive.   with injury where the reflex arc enters or leaves the spinal cord, or damage to sensory or motor nerves of the reflex  
🗑
What is the Reflex Arc?    
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
