25
axon
-axon hillock (cell body turns to axon) -axoplasm (cytoplasm of the neuron) -axollema (plasma membrane of the axon) -terminal buttons (may be where neurotransmitters are)
26
neuron structural classification
-placement in body -processes extending from cell body
27
functional classification
-sensory -motor -interneuron (both sensory and motor)
28
anaxonic
has many rpocesses but cannot differentiate btwn axons and dendrites
29
bipolar
cell body is btwn the 2 axons
30
pseudounipolar
the cell body is off to one side of the axon
31
multipolar
has a single axon and multiple dendrites
32
sensory
sends information from pns to cns -SOMATIC SENSORY AND VISCERAL SENSORY NEURONS -pick up information from pns receptors
33
motor
send information from the cns to periphery -SOMATIC MOTOR AND AUTONOMIC MOTOR NEURONS -send information to the effectors of the periphery (muscles. glands organs etc)
34
interneurons
-are betwn motor and sensory neurons -alayze sensory input and coordinate motor output -excitatory or inhibitory
35
exteroceptors and proprioceptors
-go to the somatic neurons -go to the muscle
36
exteroceptors
information abt the external environment (touch, temp, smell, vision etc)
37
propioceptors
position and movement of the body in muscles and joints (tell you brain that your arms are raised)
38
interoceptors
monitor internal organ activity
39
neural regeneration (ON TEST)
neural regeneration process does not happen in the CNS -astrocytes form scar tissue at the sites of damages neurons
40
neural regeneration PNS
limited ability to repair PNS -schwann cells grow into the cut area -axons begin to grow into the schwann cells -cell bodies must be alive for this to happen
41
nerve impulse
action potential of the nerve
42
action potential
caused by an exchange of ions across the membrane (sodium and potassium)
43
ability to conduce an impulse
excitability
44
stimulus
anything that can cause an action potential
45
threshold level
stimulus must overcome the threshold of particular neuron to fire the action potential/ impulse
46
What is the thresholD level?
The amount of stimuli needed to create action potential/ impulse
47
what affects the speed of the impulse? ON TEST
-myelin (speeds it up) -diameter of axon (larger= faster)
48
what is a synapse
a junction -axodendritic -axosomatic -axoaxonic -neuromuscular synapse or junction -neuroglandular synapse
49
axodendritic synapse
axone of one neuron and dendrite of another neurons
50
axosomatic
axon of one neuron and soma of another neuron
51
axoaxonic
axon of one neuron and axon of another
52
neuromuscular
axon of a neuron and a muscle
53
neuroglandular
axon of a neuron and a gland
54
vesicular synapses
-a chemical synapse -involved neurotransmitter release from the terminal bouton
55
neuronal pools
organized groups of neurons identified by neural circuitry -divergence -convergence -serial processing -parallel processing -reverberation
56
divergence
-info from one neuron to several -info enters the CNS and spreads to brain and spinal cord at the same time -broad distribution of inputed information
57
convergence
-information from several neurons to a single neuron -ex: 10 million rods and cones in the eye that make contact with 1 million neurons
58
serial processing
-info going from one neuron to the next and the next and the next... -info going from one part of the brain tot he net and the next... -sequence of neurons
59
parallel processing
-several enurons process info at the same time -step on a nail move your foot and dance a lil
60
reverbration
-collateral axons extend back to the origin of the impulse to cause an enhancement or a continuation of the impulse via feedback
61
nuclei/ cortex cns
-collection of cell bodies in one area -gray matter
62
white matter
bundles of axons/ myelin -fatty -called tracts/ columns
63
cell bodies in pns
ganglia/ gray matter -axons form spinal nerves and cranial nerves -can be myelinated or unmyelinated
