Q

What is the difference between the peripheral nervous system and central nervous
system?

A

CNS- Consists of the brain and spinal cord
PNS- Includes all the nerves that branch out from the CNs to reach the rest of the body

18
Q

What is happening to the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous when triggered?

A

Sympathetic - increases hr, and blood pressure, decreases digestion and
blood flow to the skin
Parasympathetic - nervous system, decreases hr, and blood pressure,
and increases digestion and blood flow to skin

19
Q

What is the function of the Sensory neuron?

A

detect Stimuli from the enviromat, light, sound, taste, touch, smell, and transmits info as electrical signals to the CNS for processing n interpretation

20
Q

What are motor nerves ?

A

nerves that transmit
Signals from the CNS to muscles in the body

21
Q

What is the location and function of a dendrite?

A

located on neurons and funes to receive electrical signals
from Other neurons

22
Q

Where do you find the vitreous humor and what is its function in the eye?

A

In the posterior Chamber of the eye situated between the lens and retina

23
Q

What is the structure in the eye that allows an animal to see in the dark/dimmer lighting?

A

tapetum’; lucidum

24
Q

What are the 2 photoreceptors found in the retina and what are they responsible for?

A

rods Vision in the dark
Cones: Color vision and sharp detail in bright light

25
What is hydrocephalus
too much Cerebrospinal fluid In the Skull
26
What cranial nerves are the following tests evaluating the function of. How do you perform these tests, and why do we perform these tests?
A.Menace response Optic Nerve (Crainial Nerve 1l) move hand quickly toward ere wio touching animal should blink in response test the animals vision and integrity of the nerves
27
What cranial nerves are the following tests evaluating the function of. How do you perform these tests, and why do we perform these tests?
b. Pupillary Light Reflex Cranial nerves |I Shine a light in the eye and observe the constriction of the pupil in that ete assess the integrity of the optic and oculamotor nerves
28
What cranial nerves are the following tests evaluating the function of. How do you perform these tests, and why do we perform these tests?
c. Palpebral reflex Cranial nerves Gently touch inner corner of animals eye, should dink in response asses Sensory and motor components of facial nerves
29
What cranial nerves are the following tests evaluating the function of. How do you perform these tests, and why do we perform these tests?
d. Proprioception Sensory nerves, Spinal cord, brain Put paw in abnormal position and see hao quickly animal corrects position Coordination and balance
