ANS/Reflexes
This type of reflex is produced when a sensory neuron synapses directly on a spinal cord motor neuron
What is a monosynaptic reflex?
This is the only cranial nerve that bypasses the thalamus.
What is CN I (olfactory nerve)?
This epithelium makes up the skin.
What is stratified keratinized epithelium?
These two hormones are gonadotropins.
What are FSH and LH?
What are the bronchi?
(last site is bronchi, bronchioles contain normal simple epithelium)
These autonomic neurons have cell bodies located in the central nervous system.
What are preganglionic neurons?
The saccule and utricle are imperative structures for this special sense.
What is balance and equilibrium?
This specialized epithelium is located at the urinary bladder and ureters.
What is urothelium (transitional)?
These two hormones are regulated by RH & IH of the hypothalamus.
What are PRL and GH?
Endocrine cells secrete this hormone.
What is gastrin?
Visceral smooth muscle is innervated by this division.
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
This structure of the visual pathway marks the beginning of the CNS
What is the optic chiasm?
Diffusion regulation is a function of this epithelium.
What is simple squamous?
This process keeps the body at a stable internal environment, or homestasis.
What is negative feedback?
This layer of the digestive tract coordinates peristalsis.
What is the muscularis?
The sympathetic trunk contains these neuron cell bodies.
This structure of the eye dilates during a sympathetic response.
What is the iris?
This surface of epithelium usually contains microvilli or cilia.
What is the apical surface?
When blood sugar is low after prolonged fasting, these cells are stimulated.
What are alpha cells?
This hormone stimulates the secretion of bile & pancreatic enzymes
What is cholecystokinin?
This structure contains many sensory neuron cell bodies and is important for initiating reflexive movements.
What is the dorsal root ganglion?
These structures following the tympanic membrane vibrate to cause movement at the oval window.
What are the ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes)?
Epithelial cells frequently undergo this process to replace old/damaged cells.
What is mitosis?
This structure synthesizes ACTH and secretes steroids, like mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, in response.
What is the adrenal cortex?
The digestive tract is composed of which two epithelium types?
What is stratified squamous or simple columnar?
