100
What are the two main divisions of the nervous system?
Central Nervous System(CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
100
What are the parts of a neuron?
dendrites, soma, axon, myelin, node of ranvier
100
What is depolarization?
reversal of charges -70mv to +35mv
100
True or False. 16 days after fertilization the nervous system develops from ectoderm
True
100
What is sensation?
A stimulus that has been recieved by the brain bringing awareness to the organism.
200
What are the general functions of the nervous system?
Stimulate all movement, recieve sensory input, store and intergrate information, maintain homeostasis
200
What is the name of a neuron that is rare, found in retina of the eye?
Bipolar
200
What is hyperpolarization
potential briefly lower than -70mv
200
Fill in blank. Cells differentiate into___ that develops into a a neural tube (develops into parts of CNS)
Neural folds
200
What is perception?
How the brain interpets the sensation.
300
Diference between nucleus and ganglion
Nucleus is locaed in the CNS and ganglion is located in the PNS.
300
Are microglial cells found in the CNS or PNS?
CNS
300
What is the resting potential?
-70mv
300
Fill in blank. Filure to close off tube during development may lead to defect called___
Spinal Bifida
300
What are the funtions in receptors?
sense stimuli and send signal to CNS.
400
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.
400
What are astrocytes?
They provide support and connection between neurons and blood supply
400
True or False. The refractory period is during AP where another AP cannot be initiated; has 2 phases.
true
400
Neural crest develops where ?
Several parts of the PNS
400
What are the two categpries in receptors?
general and special
500
What is a dendrite?
process that branches off soma; recieves input from other neurons; may be many per neuron.
500
True or false. Multipolar neurons are majority of all neurons; most in brain are multipolar
true
500
What are the 2 phases in the refractory period?
Absolute refractory period and relative refractory period
500

three
500
What are general senses?
widely distributed receptors
