BMS 300 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS
nervous system - ANSWER the control system of the body that takes in
information and elicits a response from either muscles or glands
sensory input - ANSWER incoming information from the body or external
environment
integration - ANSWER the process of interpreting and selecting of response to a
stimuli that occurs only in the central nervous system
response - ANSWER the result of integration brought about by the PNS
through the stimulation of an effector organ
central nervous system - ANSWER the part of the nervous system that
includes the brain and spinal cord
peripheral nervous system - ANSWER the part of the nervous system that
includes all the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord
nerves (in PNS) - ANSWER a group of nerve cell processes in PNS
tracts ANSWER a bundle of axons in the white matter of the spinal cord that
have specific destinations
,sensory input ANSWER the afferent part of the PNS that carries information
towards the CNS
somatic afferents ANSWER sensory neurons of the PNS that carry information
about the skin, skeletal muscles, and joints
visceral afferents-ANS sensory neurons of the PNS that carry information about
the body's organs
afferents nerves that carry information toward the CNS
efferents nerves that carry information away from the CNS
motor output the efferent part of the PNS that carries information away from the
CNS and elicits a response
somatic nervous system - ANSWER a subdivision of the PNS motor output that
is responsible for the contraction of skeletal muscle
voluntary nervous system - ANSWER somatic nervous system
autonomic nervous system - ANSWER a subdivision of the PNS motor output,
that regulates organ activity and bodily fluids
involuntary nervous system - ANSWER autonomic nervous system
sympathetic nervous system - ANSWER a subdivision of the autonomic
nervous system that is responsible for the "flight" or "fight" response
, parasympathetic nervous system - ANSWER a subdivision of the autonomic
nervous system that is responsible for the rest and digest response
spinal cord-ANSWER1 of the 5 major parts of the CNS that is the most caudal
part of the CNS, has 31 pairs of spinal nerves, and controls and receives sensory
information from the skin, joints, and muscles of the limbs and trunk
brain stem - the 1 of the 5 major parts of the CNS that is the extension of the
spinal cord that responsible for skin and muscles of the head and as origin of
cranial nerves
diencephalon - the 1 of the 5 major parts of the CNS that lies costal to the
midbrain and contains the thalamus and hypothalamus
thalamus-ANSWER site where all the sensory impulses - except olfactory -
relay to cerebral cortex
hypothalamus-ANSWER control center of autonomic nervous system,
endocrine system, and visceral functions
cerebrum-ANSWER 1 of the 5 major parts of the CNS that has 4 lobes with 3
major functional types: sensory, associative, and motor
cerebellum* - ANSWER 1 of the 5 major parts of the CNS
pia matter - ANSWER most adjacent layer to the spinal cord of 3 layers
surrounding the spinal cord
