Vocab

The spinal nerves in the appendages

What is the PNS or peripheral nervous system?

The two types of nerve fibers

What are axons and dendrites?

Several neurons stimulate the

same cell; bottle-necking the

impulseWhat is convergence?

The outer layer of sections of the

brain

What is cortex?

The entire process of depolarization to repolarization

What is action potential?

Types of Neurons and Neuroglial Cells

The neuron that receives

information from a sense receptor

What is a sensory neuron?

The cell in the CNS that transports a stimulus between

two neuronsWhat is an interneuron?

The tissue that reacts from a

stimulus

What is an effector?

The cell that fills space when the CNS is damaged

What is an astrocyte?

The two cells that myelinate

axons

What are Schwann Cells and oligodendrocytes?

Clinical Applications

Paralysis in all four limbs

What is quadriplegia?

Inflammation of the

meninges

What is meningitis?

Damaged reticular

formationWhat is comatose state?

Tremors and dementia from damaged basal

gangliaWhat is Parkinson’s Disease?

Pressure on the brain from a broken blood

vessel between the dura mater

and craniumWhat is epidural hemorrhage?

Diagrams

Name these two sections of the Diencephalon in order

What are hypothalamus and thalamus?

What are sensory and motor neurons?

Sections of the Brain

The largest portion

of the brain

What is the cerebrum?

The four major parts of the

brain

What is cerebrum, cerebellum, diencephalon, brainstem?

The four major lobes of the cerebrum

What is frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital?

The structure connecting the

cerebral hemispheres

What is corpus callosum?

The three portions of the brain stem from top to bottomWhat is midbrain, pons,

medulla oblongata?

Meninges

The outermost layer surrounding

the brain and spinal cord

What is the dura mater?

The space between bone and

the dura mater (where a local pain reliever is often

injected)

What is epidural space?

The middle and innermost

meninges (in this order)

What are arachnoid and pia mater?

The space between the

arachnoid and pia mater

What is the subarachnoid space?

The two sections of the spinal

cord(two colors) and the hole in the

middleWhat is grey matter, white matter and central canal?

Portions of the Nervous System

The “fight or flight” division of the nervous

systemWhat is the sympathetic

nervous system?

The common term for the

parasympathetic nervous systemWhat is “rest and digest?”

The skeletal muscles are controlled by this division

What is the somatic nervous system?

The enlargements of the spinal cord that produce the nerve branches for upper

and lower limbs What are cervical and lumbar enlargements?

The function of the

parasympathetic nervous systemWhat is relaxing the body after a stressful situation?
