ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CORRECT
VERIFIED ANSWERS
‣ dorsal . Answer: top
‣ ventral . Answer: bottom
‣ lateral . Answer: toward the side
‣ medial . Answer: toward the middle
‣ Ipsilateral . Answer: same side
‣ contralateral . Answer: opposite sides
‣ bilateral . Answer: both sides
‣ nervous system . Answer: the network of nerve cells and fibers that
transmits nerve impulses between parts of the body
, ‣ central nervous system . Answer: the brain + the spinal cord; protected
by the scull + the spinal column; contains nuclei & tracts
‣ periphial nervous system . Answer: consists of the ganglia & nerves;
some gather information while others transmit orders. The cranial nerves
enter and leave the brain directly through the skull. Other nerves reach
the brain via the spinal cord
‣ sensory-somatic nervous system . Answer: facilitates organism's
relationship with its external environment; sends info to the brain from
the body's various sensory detectors and transmits motor info.
‣ automatic nervous system . Answer: the part of the nervous system
responsible for control of the bodily functions not consciously directed,
such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes.
‣ Grey matter . Answer: thin layer around the cortex composed mainly
of neurons and other supporting cells (astrocytes and glial cells)
‣ white matter . Answer: Composed of myelinated axons and is below
the folded surface of the cerebral cortex
‣ cerebral spinal fluid . Answer: clear fluid extrtacted from the blood by
the choroid plexus (a special tissue in ventricles) it is produced
continueously, travels from lateral ventricles to the third ventricle 5then
through the cerebral aqueduct to the fourth ventical and into
subarachnoid spaice surounding the brain.
