Nervous System Structure
What are the three main parts of the nervous system?
Brain, spinal cord, nerves
Human touch, taste, and smell are examples of?
Senses
The voluntary control of motor responses?
Somatic Nervous System
This ion flows into the cell through membrane channels?
Na+
The back part of the brain, it helps with vision processing?
Occipital Lobe
Another name for a nerve cell, it primarily functions as a way to communicate between other cells?
Neuron
Can be voluntary or involuntary, this function of the nervous system includes movement based on outside information?
Response
Responsible for involuntary control of the body, automatic?
Autonomic Nervous System
This ion flows out of the cell through membrane channels?
K+
This lobe in the brain does not fully develop until the age of 25?
Frontal Lobe
This is the insulation that surrounds an axon of a neuron?
Myelin sheath
This term refers to the body's ability to interpret what is happening in the outside environment around a person?
Sensation
Responsible for the movement of the GI tract during digestion?
Enteric Nervous System
This type of channel requires Ach to bind to the channel protein before opening?
Ligand-Gated Ion Channel
This part of the brain is located on either side of the brain on top, and primarily functions with reception of sensory information?
Parietal Lobe
This cell type provides a framework for tissues and supports neurons?
Glial Cell
This type of chemical communication between neurons, what is released in order to communicate between neurons?
Neurotransmitters
Responsible for the reflexes that the body produces?
Somatic Nervous System
These types of membrane channels open when the charge becomes more positive, away from the -70mV resting charge?
Voltage Gated Channel
This lobe in the brain is primarily tasked with listening and selective hearing?
Temporal Lobe
This part of a neuron receives communication from other neurons?
Dendrites
This function of the nervous system incorporates the external information and processing it internally to create a repsonse?
Integration
Helps regulate the body's mechanism for homeostasis?
Autonomic Nervous System
This type of membrane channel opens through movement of the cells or tissues?
Mechanically Gated Channel
What part of the brain connects the brain to the spinal cord?
