Neuron
The gap between neurons is called the:
What is the Synapse
Study of Nervous system
What is Neurology
Two divisions of the PNS
What is the somatic and autonomic systems?
This part of the brain allows the body's physical movement to be coordinated. It assists in boosting fine and gross motor skills, which is important to everyday tasks like walking or writing.
What is the cerebellum?
What is the most common disease to affect the Nervous System?
What is Alzheimer's!!!!!
How many neurons does the human have?
What is Billions
Function of the Central Nervous system
What is integrating and processing information?
System that helps you "rest and digest"
What is the parasympathetic system?
The functions of this area of the brain are involuntary. This area assists in controlling blood pressure, heartbeat, and breathing. This area helps transfer messages from the brain to the spinal cord.
what is the medulla?
This disease where the membranes around the brain and spinal cord are inflames, is usually caused by a bacterial or virus.
What is meningitis?
Carry impulse away from cell body
What does the Axon do?
Components of the Central Nervous system
What is the Brain and the spinal cord?
Describe the parts of a reflex reflex arc (3 parts).
sensory neuron, interneuron (in the CNS), motor neuron
This is the outer most brain covering
dura matter
Dizziness, fuzzy vision in one eye, and numbness on one side of the body are symptoms of this temporary condition.
What is a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
How does information from a sensory neuron get passed along to a motor neuron?
sensory neuron to interneurons to motor neurons
Delivers sensory information to the CNS
What is the peripheral nervous system?
It is known as fight or flight response system
sympathatic nervous system
This area of the brain controls the sleep cycle, breathing, posture, and bladder control. Strokes often occur in this area which is directly connected to the spinal cord.
what is the pons?
A destruction of the myelin sheath on neurons in the CNS and its replacement by plaques of sclerotic(hard) tissue.
what is Multiple sclerosis?
T/F: The myelin sheath breaks down the impulse before slowly transmitting along the axon.
false, it doesn't decipher the message (nucleus) and it speeds up the transmission.
Fluid protecting the brain and spinal cord
What is cerebrospinal fluid?
What is the response formed by bypassing the brain for an immediate reaction to relieve pain? This is an urgent impulse processed by the spinal cord.
What is a reflex?
The brains primary function
What is maintain homeostasis?
Which disease causes damage to the Nerve cell that creates Dopamine?
What is, Parkinson Disease!!!!!!!
