100
Neuron
What is the cell type responsible for transmissions of impulses?
100
This system is the "fight or flight" which involves an increase in the heart rate and contraction, an increase in diameter of the bronchioles, pupil and muscle vessels, a decrease in GI motility and skin and kidney vessels.
What is the Sympathetic Nervous System which is a part of the Autonomic Nervous System?
100
At this state the cell is more negative on the INSIDE of the cell and the cell is ready to "fire".
What is Resting membrane? More Na+ are outside the cell and more K+ are inside. Nerds are wanting to get into the cell with the cool kids!
100
Largest part of the mammalian brain and the behavior it creates.
What is the Cerebrum? Creates the "higher order" behaviors such as Learning, Intelligence and Awareness.
100
Causes of seizures.
What is multimodal (many causes)? Nerves overfire-trauma, tumor or infection. Low blood sugar, metabolic toxins, hypothryoidism, external poisons.
200
Neuroglial or glial cells
What are the cells that structurally and functionally support and protects the nervous system.
200
The Parasympathetic System which is a part of the Autonomic Nervous System and what it does.
What is the system for "rest and restore"? Which causes a decrease in heart rate and contraction, decrease in the diameter of the bronchioles, pupils and diameter of the muscle vessels and an increase in GI motility and blood flow?
200
At this state the cell returns to negative on the INSIDE and cell is at its resting state.
What is repolarization?
200
Considered the Primitive Brain and its functions.
What is the Brain Stem. Heavily involved in Autonomic Functions in the heart, respiration, blood vessel diameter and vomiting.
200
Most common type of seizure in small animals-two types.
What is a Grand Mal Seizure, can be tonic or clonic?
300
Dendrite
What is the part of the nerve cell that receives sensory input?
300
The Nervous Systems three basic functions.
What is Sensory, Integrating and Motor Functions?
300
This mechanism restores the Na+ and K+ to their original locations.
What is the Sodium-Potassium Pump? Put the cool kids back into the school and the nerds outside.
300
The nervous system passageway-has three parts.
What is the Diencephalon? Thalamus-relay station for regulation sensory impulses, Hypothalamus-interface between the nervous system and endocrine system (temperature, hunger, thirst, rage and ANGER) and the Pituitary Gland-"Master Gland" that regulates hormones.
300
This type of seizure has abnormal behavior-involuntary howling, snapping, circling.
What is a Psychomotor Seizure?
400
Axon
What is the part of the nerve cell that passes on the impulse to a target cell or another nerve cell?
400
The two divisions of the Nervous System and the two divisions of each.
What is Somatic (CNS and PNS) and Autonomic (Sympathetic and Autonomic)?
400
A stimulus causes the inside of the cell to become more positive and the cell is considered to be in this state. This ion rushes into the cell via this mechanism.
What is depolarization? Na+ channels open and rushes in via passive diffusion.
400
Second largest part of the brain and its functions.
What is the Cerebellum? Allows for coordinated movement, balance, posture and complex reflexes.
400
Status Epilepticus
What is a seizure that lasts more than 5 minutes, is considered life threatening.
500
Myelin or Myelin sheath
What is the substance that covers the axon that allows for saltatory conduction?
500
The directions of impulses going to and away from the CNS, whether they are sensory or motor.
What is Afferent (towards the CNS and sensory) and Efferent (away from the CNS and motor)?
500
At this state the cell is "insensitive" to another or new stimulus.
What is Refractory Period? At this point the Na+ channels are still open and incapable of creating an second depolarization.
500
The 12 Cranial Nerves.
What are I-Olfactory(smell) II-Optic(Vision) III-Oculomotor (Moving the eyeball, constricting the pupil) IV-Trochlear(Eye muscles, turning of the eye) V-Trigeminal(Sensory to nose, eye, tongue and teeth) VI-Abducent(Turn eye laterally) VII-Facial(Expressions) VIII-Vestibulocochlear(Balance, sense of sound) IX-Glossopharyngeal(Pharynx, tongue) X-Vagus(Pharynx, larynx, esophagus, trachea, bronchi, heart) XI-Accessory(Spinal Cord muscles) XII-Hypoglossal(tongue muscles)
500
Epilepsy
What is recurrent seizures (more than 2 a month)
