25
CNS tells difference of weak and strong based on the
frequency of impulses
26
refractory periods happen when a neuron cannot
trigger another action potential
27
during a refractory period, voltage gated na+ channels are
open
28
refractory periods enforce
one way transmission
29
relative follows
absolute refractory period
30
repolarizing is
occuring
31
threshold is
elevated
32
stimulus must be ______ to get a new AP
strong
33
velocity
axon diameter degree of myelination continuous conduction
34
continuous conduction
speed is slow
35
saltatory conduction
only generated in gaps electrical signal jumps
36
cerebral cortex is the site of the conscious mind meaning
awareness sensory reception voluntary motor initiation communication memory storage
37
3 types of functional areas
motor sensory association
38
motor
voluntary movement
39
sensory
conscious awareness of sensation
40
association
integrate diverse information
41
lateralization can only occur
in one hemisphere
42
conscious behavior involves how much of the brain
both hemispheres
43
where are motor areas located
frontal lobe
44
primary motor cortex
-located in the precentral gyrus -pyramidal cells allow precise control of muscle movement -tracts project down spinal chord
45
premotor cortex
-helps plan movement -controls learned, repetitious or patterned motor skills -coordinates simultaneous or sequential actions
46
brocas area
left hemisphere speech/speech production
47
damage to areas of primary motor cortex results in
paralysis/strokes
48
sensory areas occur in which lobes
temporal occipital parietal insular
49
how many sensory areas are there
8
50
primary visual area
-located at the posterior tip of the occipital lobe -receives visual info from retina
51
primary somatosensory
-located in parietal lobe -sensory info from skin and proprioceptors - spacial discrimination - ID of body region being stimulated
52
somatosensory association
-posterior to primary somatosensory cortex -integrates sensory input in order to understand object -determines what is being felt (junk drawer)
53
visual association area
-INTERPRETS visual stimuli -complex PROCESSING
54
auditory areas
located near temporal lobes interprets auditory info
55
auditory association area
stores memories of sounds
56
vestibular cortex
conscious awareness of balance
57
olfactory cortex
smell
58
gustatory cortex
taste
59
visceral sensory cortex
internal organs - bellyache
60
multimodal association areas
-receive input from multiple sensory areas -sends output to multiple areas -gives meaning and allows memory storage -sensations, thoughts, and emotions become conscious
61
how could you disrupt a neuron?
if sodium channels do not open, sodium cannot get in therefore the neuron will not reach threshold, therefore no action potential will be sent and no message will be sent through the neuron
