Nervous System
The primary cell that builds all the structures of the nervous system
Name all structures of the entire nervous sytem
Brain, Spinal cord, and Nerves
what is the central nervous system made of?
brain and spinal cord
What does the Somatic divison of the nervous system conrol?
Voluntary movement of the body
what is the peripheral system made of?
nerves that branch off from the spinal cord.
what does PNS stand for?
peripheral nervous system
what does CNS stand for?
Central Nervous System
The division of your peripheral nervous system that is made up of the nerves that control involuntary body responses and functions.
Autonomic nervous sysytem
What purpose is the purpose of the Myelin Sheath on an axon?
to speed up nerve impulses
What is the sensory division of the PNS responsible for?
Sending impulses from the senses to the CNS
Two subdivisions of the Autonomic Nervous System--and the function of each
Sympathetic "Fight of Flight" Parasympathetic Division- "rest and digest"
Name FOUR Functional parts of a neuron
1- cell body (soma) 2- dendrites 3- axon 4- myelin sheaths 5- axon terminals 6- synapse (not really part of the neuron but will be accepted)
What structure functions like a highway and transmits nerve impulses from the body to the brain and from the brain to the body?
The spinal cord
What are the 3 sections of the brain?
The cerebellum, cerebrum and the brain stem
Name and describe any Nervous System Disease? Must be from the slides or the book. The other team and the teacher must approve the answer.
Look up in the slides or the book
The central nervous system is made of these organs
brain and spinal cord
What type of nerve cell sends messages between two neurons?
Interneurons
What are the 3 types of neurons?
Motor (efferent), sensory (afferent) and interneurons
Pick two lobes of the brain and explain their functions.
TEMPORAL- Contains the sense of hearing and smell, as well as memory, thought, and judgment.
OCCIPITAL- Controls the sense of sight.
PARIETAL- Involved with sensory information, including feelings of heat, cold, pain, touch, and body position in space.
FRONTAL- Controls voluntary movements and has a role in use of language. Possibly involved with intellect and personality.
What is the name of the space between dendrites and axon terminals?
Synaptic cleft or Synapse
Name the parts of the brainstem
Midbrain
Pons
Medulla oblongata
What is the function of the Parietal lobe
Involved with sensory information, including feelings of heat, cold, pain, touch, and body position in space.
What is the Function of the Temporal Lobe?
Contains the sense of hearing and smell, as well as memory, thought, and judgment.
What are the functions of the Occipital Lobe?
Occipital- receives and interprets visual info
What is the function of the Frontal Lobe?
Controls voluntary movements and has a role in use of language. Possibly involved with intellect and personality.
