The Nervous system
This division of the nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord. (Britney Cruz)
What is the Central Nervous System (CNS)?
This part of the neuron receives input from other neurons. (Gaby Garrastacho)
What are dendrites?
This cranial nerve controls tongue movement. (Britney Cruz)
What is the Hypoglossal nerve (XII)?
This lobe is responsible for motor planning and execution. (Melissa Marrero)
What is the frontal lobe?
Damage to this lobe could impair planning and expressive language. (Karla Garcia)
What is the frontal lobe?
This protective structure circulates cerebrospinal fluid and cushions the brain. (Britney Cruz)
What are the meninges?
This insulating layer speeds up signal transmission in the axon. (Gaby Garrastacho)
What is the myelin sheath?
This cranial nerve is responsible for hearing and balance. (Gaby Garrastacho)
What is the Vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)?
This subcortical structure regulates movement and is affected in Parkinson's disease. (Melissa Marrero)
What is the basal ganglia?
A patient with a stroke in this artery may present with aphasia. (Karla Garcia)
What is the Middle Cerebral Artery?
This part of the peripheral nervous system carries information from the body to the CNS. (Britney Cruz)
What are afferent nerves?
The correct order of a simple reflex arc includes these 5 components.(Gaby Garrastacho)
What are receptor, sensory neuron, integration center, motor neuron, effector?
This nerve controls vocal fold movement and swallowing. (Melissa Marrero)
What is the Vagus nerve (X)?
This lobe is responsible for processing auditory information. (Melissa Marrero)
What is the temporal lobe?
Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) may result from damage to this cranial nerve. (Karla Garcia)
What is the Vagus nerve (X)?
These two systems make up the entire nervous system. (Britney Cruz)
What are the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems?
The signal is initiated at this part of the neuron. (Gaby Garrastacho)
What is the axon hillock?
This cranial nerve is involved in jaw movement and facial sensation. (Melissa Marrero)
What is the Trigeminal nerve (V)?
This structure integrates sensory input and is part of the parietal lobe. (Karla Garcia)
What is the primary somatosensory cortex?
This degenerative disorder is associated with basal ganglia dysfunction. (Karla Garcia)
What is Parkinson's disease?
This artery supplies critical blood flow to areas responsible for speech and language. (Britney Cruz)
What is the Middle Cerebral Artery?
This type of glial cell produces myelin in the CNS. (Gaby Garrastacho)
What is an oligodendrocyte?
This cranial nerve is tested during a gag reflex exam. (Melissa Marrero)
What is the Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)?
This area in the left frontal lobe is crucial for speech production. (Karla Garcia)
What is Broca's area?
A lesion in this area may result in receptive language deficits. (Karla Garcia)
What is Wernicke's area?
