Parts of the brain
The thalamus relays sensory information, except for this one sense
What is olfaction?
This part of the brain is involved with basic life functions including sneezing, vomiting, and vasomotor.
What is the medulla oblongata?
this is the resting potential of many neurons.
-70mv
This hormone increases calcium in the blood.
What is PTH?
This part of the brain is involved in planning and movement
What is the frontal lobe?
Motor neurons are this kind of neuron.
What are multipolar neurons?
Schwann cells and satellite cells are found in this section of the nervous system
What is the peripheral ervous system?
This protein is released by osteoblasts to make osteoclasts
What is RANKL?
This brain region receives gustatory and visceral sensory information.
What is the insula?
This is fatty structure on the axon makes white matter white and speeds up the transmission of the signal.
What is the myelin sheath?
This type of neuron relays information between other neurons and plays an important role in spinal reflexes
What are interneurons?
This hormone inhibits osteoclasts when calcium in the blood is too high
What is calcitonin?
This area of the brain, located in the telencephalon, is in charge of memories and emotion.
What is the limbic system?
This region of the brain is in the midbrain and contains a structure that deals with audio and visual reflexes.
What is the mesencephalon?
This term describes the direction in which nerve growth factor and rabies travels along the axon
What is retrograde transport?
This material is found on the inside of bones. It stores fat and produces blood cells.
What is bone marrow?
This part of the brain is very important in homeostasis.
What is the hypothalamus?
This type of neuroglia is a type of macrophage. (Bonus points for naming whether it is found in the PNS or CNS).
What are microglia?
These two types of neurons are involved in sensation.
What are unipolar and bipolar neurons?
These cells are the precursors to osteoblasts.
What are osteoprogenitors?
