bms final Flashcards
(64 cards)
dendrites:
receive input from other nerves
when dendrites receive input from other nerves…
action potential is sent
synapse
where 2 nerves meet but don’t directly touch
myelin
wraps nerves and moves messages quicker, but niot all nerves have it
nerves shift between 2 states
resting potential and action potential
resting potential:
doesn’t have to be passing messages all the time
could be making ATP and preparing to divide
doesn’t have to always be electrically active
ready for action potential
-70 milivolts
in resting potential what ions are charged
sodium and potassium
action potential process
dendrites->cell body->axon->synapse
action potential ion channels
lets sodium through but not potassium
during resting potential where is most of the sodium
outside the cell, potassium is mostly inside
action potential millivolts
-55
ion channels cannot be where _____ is
myelin, must be where myelin is not
CNS
brain, spinal cord
PNS
everything else is peripheral nervous system
2 brain hemispheres
corpus collosum, wrinkles and folds on surface
corpus collosum
middle of the brain where it can crossover
wrinkles + skin folds on surface
increased surface area + fit more nerves
receptors
allows stimuli to be recognized, signal is sent to nerve then brain
human senses
hearing, sight,taste,smell,touch
hearing:
receptors receive waves of pressure
eardrum
moves back and forth when hit by waves
ossicles
3 small bones in middle ear
what are the 3 small bones in the middle ear
hammer, anvil, strip
cochlea
filled with fluid and hair cells, when fluids moves around it moves the hair cells which generate an action potential
