Q

how do central and peripheral NS relates

A

pheripheral NS gathers information and send it to the central NS where it process the information and form a respond. And pheripheral NScarries the respond to tha glands and muscles.

Q

how does a nerve impulse begins

A

when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or the enviorment. The axon carrus the impulse away from the cell body all toward the axon termals

25
where does potential come from
the active trabsport proteints pumps sodium ionns out of the cell and potassium ions in.
26
sodium ions
Na+
27
potassium ions
K+
28
What is action potential
is the reversal of negative changes to positive changes
29
what types of reversing potentials are
resting and active potential
30
what s the minimun level of stimuli required to cause an impulse is
threshold
31
what is synapse
is the point in which the neuron transmit the impulse to another cell
32
what separates the axon terminal from the adyacent cell
synapse cleft
33
whats is the function of the synapse cleft
separates the axon terminal from the adyacent cell
34
what are the neurontransmitters
chemicals that from the impulses across the synape to another cell
35
where does the procesing of information occurs
on the central NS
36
what is the main comunication link of the NS
the spinal cord
37
what is a reflex
a quick automatic respons to a stimuli
38
what are major areas of the brain
cerebrum,cerebellum, and barin stem
39
the largest region of the bran
cerebrum
40
the cerebrum is
responsable of voluntary activities and site of intelligence, learning, and judgment
41
the cerebrum is divided into
left and right hemispheres
42
the hemispherre are connected by
the corpus collosum
43
hemisphere are divided into regions called
lobes
44
of what layers cosist the cerebrum
cerebral cortex, and white matter
45
what is cerebral cortex
the outer layer of the cerebrm
46
cerebral cortex consist
gray matter and nerve cell bodies
47
what is the cerebral cortex function
process sense organs information and controls body movements
48
what is white matter
the inner layer of the cerebrum with bundles of axons with the myelin sheath
49
what is the lymbic stem
emotion, behaviour, memory and pleasure
50
cerebellum
the 2 largest region, information of the muscle and joint position are send to it
51
function of the brain stem
connects the brain to the spinal cord
52
what do the brain stem controls
regulation of blood presure, heart rate, and breathing
53
at are the 3 regions of the brain stem
midbrain, pons, and medula oblongata
54
how do drugs change the brain and lead to addiction
reduces the number of receptors for the neurotransmitters and daily activities no loger produce pressure
55
the 3 major regiosn orf the brain
midbrain, forebrain, and hindbrain
56
how does the central NS receives sensory information
through sensory division
57
what are the sensory receptors (5)
1- chemireceptor 2-photoreceptor- 3- mechanoriceptor 4-thermoreceptor 5-pain receptor
58
voluntary movements called
somatic (arc reflex)
59
unvoluntary movement called
autonomatic
60
examples of autonomatic
parasympathetic and sympathetic
61
example of parasympathetc
rest and digest
62
example of sympathetic
intense activity
63
the largest sense organ
skin
64
sensory division role
transmit impulses to the central NS
65
2 parts of motor division
somantic and autonomatic NS
