Brain
The four lobes of the cerebrum
What are Frontal, Temporal, Parietal, Occipital?
two main organs of the CNS
Brain and Spinal cord
The function of the parasympathetic nervous system
Rest and Digest
The part of the tongue that can taste salty flavors
what is all of the tongue?
(Taste maps weren't good science)
Name the two divisions of the Nervous System
What is CNS & PNS
This lobe helps you process sensory information like touch and taste
What is the Parietal lobe
This organ extends through the magnum foramen and through the vertebral foramen
What is the spinal cord?
This system involves involuntary responses to internal stimuli
What is Autonomic Nervous System
Olfactory Receptors are located here
What is the nose
three parts of a neuron
Dendrites, Cell Body, Axon
(also myelin sheath, synapse, nucleus, nodes)
This lobe of the brain is still forming in teenagers and contains the motor cortex
What is the frontal lobe
the number of cranial nerves
What is 12 pairs of nerves?
In charge of Fight or Flight
What is Sympathetic Nervous system
The functions of auditory ossicles
What is to amplify vibrations from the tympanic membrane?
Three types of glia
microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes
This part of the brain is largely responsible for glands and hormones
What is the hypothalmus?
The difference in function between afferent and efferent neurons
Afferent (or sensory) neurons send signals from sensory receptors to the CNS. Efferent (or motor) neurons carry signals from the CNS to muscles and glands
This part of the brain relays auditory and visual reflexes
What is the mid-brain?
Part of brain that controls cardiac function, respiration, and digestion
What is the Medulla Oblongata?
The nerves that control the parasympathetic nervous system
Cervical and Sacral nerves
which senses use each of the following chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, and photoreceptors
Chemoreceptors: taste and smell
Mechanoreceptors: hearing, equilibrium, touch
Photoreceptors: vision
What neurological disease is caused by the degradation of the myelin insulating nerves?
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
