Nervous System Fundamentals
This is a communication network that can detect changes in the body and stimulate responses.
Nervous System
These are the two divisions.
Brain and Spinal Cord
Number of Cranial Nerves.
12
These are the two divisions.
Parasympathetic and Sympathetic
Smell, Taste, Vision, Hearing and Equilibrium are known collectively as this.
Senses (Sensory Receptors)
Neuroglia (Glial Cells)
The ventricles are filled with this.
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
Number of Cranial Nerves that are purely sensory.
Three
Overlap occurs with this division of the Nervous System.
Somatic Division
Number of taste categories.
Five
The most common type of Neuron in the body.
Multipolar Neuron
This layer of the meninges appears to have webbing.
Arachnoid Mater
These respond to stimuli that come from outside of the body, for touch, pain, pressure, and temperature.
Exteroceptors
The process where all visceral organs are served by both divisions, but cause opposite effects is known as this.
Dual Innervation
Special Senses are formed early in embryonic development and are this.
Functional at Birth
These are the regions/parts that make up a neuron (not including the nucleus or detailed components).
Cell Body (Soma), Dendrite(s), Axon
This illness is an inflammation of the meninges.
Meningitis
Taste from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, facial muscle movement, and tear and saliva secretion are all controlled by this Cranial Nerve.
This ganglia type is located close to the spinal cord.
Rounding or flattening of the lens is a process known as this.
Accommodation
Generalized pathway for functioning of the Nervous System (three steps).
Sensory Input > Integration > Motor Output
This condition is caused by the brain banging on the inside of the skull, often in infants, this condition potentially leading to death, brain damage, retardation, paralysis, blindness and or deafness.
Shaken Baby Syndrome
The Trochlear Nerve (Cranial Nerve IV) innervates which eye muscle?
Superior Oblique
Named after the drugs that attach to them and mimic ACh effects, nicotinic and muscarinic receptors are types of this receptor.
Cholinergic
The malleus, incus, and stapes are known collectively as the:
Ossicles
