Parts of the Brain
CNS & PNS General
The Senses
100
This type of neuroglia produces myelin in the Peripheral Nervous system
What is schwann cells?
100
The impulse is received on this portion of the neuron.
What is dendrite?
100

This structure relay motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex.

What is the thalamus?
100
This cranial nerve is responsible for vision. 
What is the optic nerve?
100
This type of sensory receptor detects changes in light. 
What is a photoreceptor?
200
This is a subdivision of the autonomic nervous system that controls the body response while at rest such as digestion, defecation, and diuresis. 
What is the parasympathetic nervous system
200
These structures located at the ends of the axon terminal releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap. 
What are synaptic vessicles?
200
This REGION of the brain is responsible for vital bodily functions such as breathing, blood pressure, swallowing, vomiting. Contains the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. 
What is the brain stem?
200

This structure's function is to connect a large part of the peripheral nervous system to the brain AND send nerve impulses up to the brain. 



What is the spinal cord?


200
Damage to this type of photoreceptor will cause color blindness.
What are cones?
300
This is located on the axon of a neuron and speeds up the rate of a nerve impulse. 
What is myelin sheath?
300
Re-uptake, releasing an enzyme, or by simple diffusion are ways to inhibit this substance. This chemical is responsible for binding to dendrites and initiating a nerve impulse. 
What is a neurotransmitter?


300
Speech, Taste , thought (broca's area), olfactory, and primary motor area are located on this lobe of the brain.
What is frontal lobe?
300
These are connective tissue layers that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.  
What are meninges?
300
This structure seperates the external and middle ear. It is also called the eardrum 
Tympanic membrane
400

This portion of the spinal cord was damaged and caused loss of motor function on the right side of the body below the site of damage to the spinal cord. (Ventral or Dorsal horn?) 

What is ventral horn?
400
A cell is to be termed this when the plasma membrane is at rest and there are fewer positive ions inside the cell than there are outside the cell. 
What is polarized?
400
This structure allows for the right and left hemispheres to communicate 
What is the corpus callosum. 
400
The presence of this substance distinguishes gray matter from white matter 
What is myelin?
400
The organ of corti which is located in the cochlea has hairs cells that must be stimulated in order for us to perform this task. 
What is hearing?
500
Squinting eyes in response to light is controlled by which division of nervous system (specific)? 
What is somatic nervous system?
500
The binding of the neurotransmitter on the dendrite of a neuron causes ion channels to open and allow this substance inside the cell which causes an action potential to occur. (depolarization) 
What is sodium?


500
This portion of the brain houses structures responsible for emotions and memory. Those structures are the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and amygdala. 
What is the Limbic System?
500
Dancing and beam balancing is regulated by which portion of the brain? 
What is the cerebellum?
500
Which structure completes the path of light transmission to the brain : 

cornea > pupil > lens >  ? > optic nerve > visual cortex

What is retina?
