Nervous System1
The study of the nerves
What is Neurology?
The 2 cells of the nervous system
What are neurons and neuroglia
This neuron receives messages from all parts of the body and transmits them to the CNS
What is sensory neurons
The largest part of the Nervous System
What is the CNS
Frontal lobe is MAINLY responsible for this.
What is higher mental processes like reasoning.
The structural and functional unit of the nervous system
What is the neuron?
This is what axons do
What is carry the impulse away from the neuron cell body
The functional link between the sensory and motor neurons
What are interneurons
Major divisions of the brain
What are cerebrum, cerebellum, and medulla oblongatta
Long-term memory and learning is governed in THIS part of the Limbic System
What is the hippocampus
The functions of the nervous system
What are communication and control?
This structure surrounds and insulates one nerve cell from another
What is myelin sheath?
The 2 MAIN DIVISIONS of the Nervous System
What are the CNS and the PNS
This is why gray matter is gray
What is the absence of myelin
This structure is the major link between the nervous system and the endocrine system
What is the hypothalamus
The processes of the neuron
What are the dendrites (many) and the axon (1)?
The tiny space separating neurons from each other
What is the synapse
Unconsciousness could occur for blood loss of at least how long
What is 10 seconds
Auditory sensations and smell are processed here
What is temporal lobe
In the nmemononic for the cranial nerves, GERMAN stands for what cranial nerve(the name, not the number)
What is glossopharyngeal
The Neurons function is this.
What is respond to electrical, chemical, and physical stimuli and messages are conducted and transferred through them
The chemical released by the axon enabling nerve impulses to cross the synapse
What are neurotransmitters
These cells line the ventricles and participate in the production of CSF
What are ependymal cells
Crossing of the 2 hemispheres of the brain occurs here
What is the corpus collosum
A CVA in this area would have you an interruption in your speech but you would understand all that is spoken to you
What is Broca's area
