Questions And Correct

Central Nervous System -CORRECT ANSWER(CNS) brain and spinal cord.
Peripheral Nervous system -CORRECT ANSWERBody Nerves that connect to the
central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Connects the central nervous system to
the body's organs and limbs.
Autonomic Nervous System -CORRECT ANSWERControls involuntary bodily functions
(not consciously controlled), such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes
Somatic Nervous System -CORRECT ANSWERControls voluntary bodily functions
(consciously controlled), such as controlling skeletal muscles
2 Major Functions of Nervous System -CORRECT ANSWER1. Sensory Reception-end
of peripheral neurons monitor conditions( light,sound,temperature)
2. Integrative Functions- Sensory messages that get sent repeatedly get remembered
"motor functions" (subconscious actions)
Order of Stimulus (from sensory to effector) -CORRECT ANSWER1. Stimuli: physical or
chemical signal (ex. hot room)
2. Nerve impulse (ex. sends signal to brain)
3. Effectors: muscle & glands react (ex. sweat glands start sweating)
Stimulus -CORRECT ANSWERThings that initiate nerve impulses (ex. hot room)
Effector -CORRECT ANSWERResponse (ex. Sweating)
Motor Functions -CORRECT ANSWERComplex muscle-and-nerve acts that produce
movement (walking, writing, typing running etc.)
"Electrochemical" -CORRECT ANSWERA nerve impulse is partially electric (change in
polarity/charge) and partially chemical (neurotransmitters)
Synapse -CORRECT ANSWERWhere the nerve impulse is sent (connection of 2
neurons) .
, Action Potential changes the charge of the synapse (causes electricity) and
Neurotransmitters are sent.
Myelin Sheath -CORRECT ANSWERCovering of Schwann Cells, Speeds up nerve
impulses.
Axon -CORRECT ANSWERThe long threadlike part of a nerve cell that carry the nerve
impulse
Dendrites -CORRECT ANSWERBranch like extensions on a neuron that GET signals
and connect to the synapse
Neurotransmitters -CORRECT ANSWERChemicals that transmit signals across a
synapse from one neuron to another 'target' neuron
Multipolar Neuron -CORRECT ANSWERMost of the brain/spinal cord & is mylinated
Bipolar Neuron -CORRECT ANSWERFound in eyes, nose, and ears
Classified as an "Interneuron": connects PNS to CNS
Unipolar Neuron -CORRECT ANSWERAccepts Sensory messages (feelings & senses)
Found outside of the brain and spinal cord
Sensory Neuron -CORRECT ANSWERNerve cells that transmit sensory information
(sight, smell, sound etc.)
Unipolar shaped Neurons
Interneuron -CORRECT ANSWERNerve cells that serve as that connection between
Peripheral Nerves to Central Nervous System.
Bipolar shaped Neurons
Motor Neuron -CORRECT ANSWERNerve cells responsible for making an action or
movement happen.
Multipolar Shaped Neurons
Sodium Potassium Pump -CORRECT ANSWERA protein on the outside membrane of
a neuron at the Synapse.
Changes the charge (aka. polarity) of the neuron.
