CLINICALLY ORIENTED ANATOMY (MOORE) EXAM QUESTIONS
ANSWERS GRADED A+!!
-somatic nervous system
-autonomic nervous system answer >>>functionally, the nervous system is divided
into:
-provides sensory and motor innervation to all parts of the body, except the
viscera in the body cavities, smooth muscle and glands
-voluntary control answer >>>Somatic nervous system
-visceral nervous system
-responsible for control of the bodily functions not consciously directed
-ex: breathing, heartbeat, digestive processes answer >>>autonomic nervous
system
-sympathetic
-parasympathetic answer >>>the ANS can be subdivided into two divisions:
"fight or flight” answer >>>sympathetic nervous system
"feed or breed"
"resting & digesting” answer >>>parasympathetic nervous system
, CLINICALLY ORIENTED ANATOMY
structural and functional units of the nervous system specialized in rapid
communication answer >>>neurons
-cell body
-dendrite (extensions)
-axon (carry impulses to and away from the cell body) answer >>>neuron is
composed of:
-around some axons
-increase the velocity of impulse conduction answer >>>myelin sheath
-multipolar motor neuron
-pseudo unipolar sensory neuron answer >>>two types of neurons:
-have two or more dendrites and single axon that may have one or more
branches
-most common type
-all of the motor neurons that control skeletal muscle and those comprising the
ANS answer >>>multipolar motor neurons
-short, single process extending from the cell body
-all sensory neurons of the PNS are these, with cell bodies located in sensory
ganglia answer >>>pseudo unipolar sensory neuron
non-neural, non-excitable cells that form a major component of nervous tissue,
supporting, insulating, and nourishing the neurons
