---|---|---|---|---|
What are the two main divisions of the nervous system?
Central Nervous System(CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
|
What are the parts of a neuron?
dendrites, soma, axon, myelin, node of ranvier
|
What is depolarization?
reversal of charges -70mv to +35mv
|
True or False. 16 days after fertilization the nervous system develops from ectoderm
True
|
What is sensation?
A stimulus that has been recieved by the brain bringing awareness to the organism.
|
What are the general functions of the nervous system?
Stimulate all movement, recieve sensory input, store and intergrate information, maintain homeostasis
|
What is the name of a neuron that is rare, found in retina of the eye?
Bipolar
|
What is hyperpolarization
potential briefly lower than -70mv
|
Fill in blank. Cells differentiate into___ that develops into a a neural tube (develops into parts of CNS)
Neural folds
|
What is perception?
How the brain interpets the sensation.
|
Diference between nucleus and ganglion
Nucleus is locaed in the CNS and ganglion is located in the PNS.
|
Are microglial cells found in the CNS or PNS?
CNS
|
What is the resting potential?
-70mv
|
Fill in blank. Filure to close off tube during development may lead to defect called___
Spinal Bifida
|
What are the funtions in receptors?
sense stimuli and send signal to CNS.
|
Difference between a tract and nerve
A tract is a bundle of axon fibers in CNS and a nerve is bundle of axon fibers in PNS.
|
What are astrocytes?
They provide support and connection between neurons and blood supply
|
True or False. The refractory period is during AP where another AP cannot be initiated; has 2 phases.
true
|
Neural crest develops where ?
Several parts of the PNS
|
What are the two categpries in receptors?
general and special
|
What is a dendrite?
process that branches off soma; recieves input from other neurons; may be many per neuron.
|
True or false. Multipolar neurons are majority of all neurons; most in brain are multipolar
true
|
What are the 2 phases in the refractory period?
Absolute refractory period and relative refractory period
|
The primary vesticle stage has has how many regions?
three
|
What are general senses?
widely distributed receptors
