Human anatomy Exam test quizzes
and answers graded A+
Sensory receptors - ANS✅✅monitor changes inside and outside the body
ex) tickle
Stimulus - ANS✅✅changes detected inside or outside the body
Sensory input - ANS✅✅information gathered by receptors
integration - ANS✅✅term for interpreting input
motor output - ANS✅✅is the response
3 functions of the nervous system - ANS✅✅1. sensory input
2. integration
3. motor output
monitor change inside and outside the body
processes and interprets sensory input
dictates a response by activating effect-or organs
Central Nervous system (CNS) - ANS✅✅composed of the brain and spinal cord; is the integrating
and command center
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) - ANS✅✅cranial nerves and spinal nerves
Ganglia - ANS✅✅clusters of neuronal cell bodies
Sensory input (afferent) - ANS✅✅signals picked up by sensor receptors; from Pns to Cns; carrying
electrical impulse
, Motor output (efferent) - ANS✅✅signals are carried from CNS to PNS; innervate muscles and
glands
Somatic body region - ANS✅✅external; outer tube
visceral body region - ANS✅✅internal organs
Somatic sensory (receptors outer tube ) - ANS✅✅muscle ache; feeling outside of body; anything
you can feel outside of the body
ex) touch pain temp
Somatic motor - ANS✅✅signals contractions of skeletal muscles (voluntary)
proprioceptive senses - ANS✅✅Detect stretch in tendons and muscle;understanding whats
happening with your body
Visceral motor (makes up autonomic nervous system ) also called involuntary nervous system -
ANS✅✅regulates contractions of smooth and cardiac muscle;
controls function of visceral organs
body sense - ANS✅✅position and movement of body in space
Special somatic senses - ANS✅✅hearing, balance, vision, smell
Special visceral senses - ANS✅✅taste and smell
Visceral sensory - ANS✅✅general stretch, pain , temp, nausea, and hunger
Cells are densely packed and intertwined (T/F) - ANS✅✅T
Two main cell types - ANS✅✅neurons and support cells
