Tissues
This type of tissue makes up the perichondrium, periosteum, perimysium, and perineurium.
What is dense irregular connective tissue
This structure is considered the functional unit of skeletal muscle.
What is a sarcomere.
This type of neuroglia is responsible for the production of myelin sheath in the CNS.
What is an oligodendrocyte
This term describes a collection of cell bodies in the PNS.
What is a ganglion.
This division of the autonomic nervous system is commonly known as the "fight or flight" system.
What is the sympathetic nervous system
This term is used to describe the ability of muscle and nervous tissue to respond to a stimulus by changing the membrane potential.
What is excitability
This protein binds to actin during cross bridge cycling to produce contraction of skeletal muscle.
This term describes a bundle of axons in the CNS.
What is a tract
This type of sensory receptor, classified by stimulus type, responds to mechanical force such as touch, pressure, vibration, and stretch.
What is a mechanoreceptor
Fibers from this division of the ANS originate in the brain stem and sacral spinal cord.
This type of muscle tissue is voluntary, made up of striated, elongated, multi-nucleated cells.
What is skeletal muscle tissue
This process involves the progressive activation of motor units to generate a greater strength of muscle contraction. It abides by the size principle.
What is recruitment
This neurodegenerative disease is characterized by discrete foci of p-tau at the depths of the sulci and around small blood vessels primarily in the frontal cortex.
What is chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)
Tendon organs, muscle spindles, and joint kinesthetic receptors can all be classified by location as this type of sensory receptor.
What are proprioceptors
This neurotransmitter is secreted by most sympathetic post-ganglionic neurons but not by somatic motor neurons.
What is norepinephrine (NE)
This type of tissue is highly cellular, made up of two principle types of cells.
What is nervous tissue
This muscle is located in the anterior compartment of the arm, has two heads, and inserts by a common tendon onto the radius.
What is the biceps brachii
This structure of the brain separates the cerebral hemispheres.
What is the longitudinal fissure
The tibial nerve is a major nerve of this nerve plexus.
What is the sacral plexus
Ganglia in this division of the ANS are located close to the spinal cord.
What is the sympathetic division.
During an action potential in nervous tissue, this ion rushes into the cell during the depolarization phase.
What is sodium (Na+)
This muscle is the largest of the gluteal muscles, producing extension at the hip.
What is the gluteus maximus
Cell bodies of both pre-ganglionic neurons and motor neurons exit from the spinal cord through this root of the spinal cord.
What is the ventral root
The knee-jerk reflex is an example of this type of somatic reflex.
What is the stretch reflex
This division of the ANS is responsible for increasing heart rate and blood pressure.
What is the sympathetic nervous system
