It is made up of the brain and spinal cord
What is the Central Nervous System?
It is a bundle of muscle fibers.
What is a fascicle?
It is the long cable like part of the nerve cell which transmits the impulse.
What is an axon?
Largest and most superior part of the brain; composed of two hemispheres.
What is the cerebrum?
Connective tissue around each neuron.
What is endomeurium?
It is made up of nerves outside the central nervous system.
What is the peripheral nervous system?
It is the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber.
What is endomysium?
It is when a stimulus changes the permeability of the membrane and sodium ions rush into the nerve cell.
What is depolarization?
A line between anterior-posterior division between the two hemispheres of the cerebrum.
What is the longitudinal fissure?
Connective tissue around each group of neurons. (Around the perimeter)
What is perineurium?
It is a division of the PNS composed of nerves that carry information TO the CNS.
What is the sensory (afferent) division?
It is connective tissue that surrounds each bundle of muscle fibers (fascicle). (perimeter of the bundle)
What is perimysium?
It is the concept that a neuron will respond to a stimulus or it will not; there is no partial response.
What is the All-Or-None response?
They are elevated ridges on the surface of the cerebrum.
What are gyri?
Connective tissue aroun each nerve bundle. (Like our epidermis that covers our body)
What is epinueurium?
It is the division of the PNS composed of nerves that carry information FROM the CNS.
What is the motor (efferent) division?
It is the connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle. (epidermis cells surrounds our body)
What is epimysium?
It is the restoration of the neg. charge on the inside of the membrane and it becomes impermeable to sodium and potassium ions diffuse out.
What is repolarization?
They are shallow grooves of the surface of the ceebrum.
What are sulci?
Complex network of spinal nerves that serve motor and sensory needs of the limbs.
What is a plexus? This image is of the lumbar plexus.
What are the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?
It is sensory receptors in muscles and tendons that detect stretching or tension to maintain balance and posture. (it is proper to maintain your posture)
What is proprioreceptors?
It is the name given to the transport of sodium and potassium with ATP use, back to their original state of the resting period.
What is the Soduium-Potassium Pump?
Area of the brain superior to the brain stem; which includes the thalamus, hypothalamus,and epithalamus.
What is the diencephalon?
It is an acute inflammation of teh meninges usually cause by viral or bacterial infections.
What is meningitis?
