ch43 Flashcards
(19 cards)
ganglia
cluster of neurons
CNS
brain and spinal cord
PNS
detect signal and send to get processed then back out
reflexes
travel to spinal cord then out
dendrite
recieves signal
soma(cell body)
processing center
axon
sends the signal( only place an action potential can happen)
axon hillock
triangle area where everything is funeled into the axon
to make a resting potential more negitive
add more negative things such as proteins and Cl
soduim potasium pumps
three Na go out two K come in (giving a net loss of one positive unit)
potasium leak channels
help to get inside of cell negative
action potential
is the movement of charge
hyperpolarization
when the charge over corrects to more negative then goes back to resting potential
saltatory conduction
when the signal moves in a jumping fashion from node of ranvier to node of ranvier
endorphins
neurotransmitter
peptides used in sensory path ways and they are inhibitory
parasympathetic
rest and digest (top of spinal cord and bottom)
sympathetic
fight or flight ( middle of spinal cord)
Enteric nervous system
works the digestive system
Parkinsons
loss of dopamine (ntx) function
