Q

Steps to a movement

A

sensory input via affereny cells

intergration(decides whether to respond or not)

motor output efferent cells carry away single

effector
thing actually moves

16
Q

three types of glial cella

A

astrocytes
microglia
oligodendrocytes

17
Q

astrocytes are differnet from the other glial cells bc

A

they are the most abundant

18
Q

astocytes…

A

creates barriers and has highest number if tight junctions to protect neurons

18
Q

astocytes…

A

creates barriers and has highest number if tight junctions to protect neurons

19
Q

astocytes…

A

creates barriers and has highest number if tight junctions to protect neurons

20
Q

microglia..

A

defense system
looks for pathogens and destroys them

21
Q

oligodendrocytes…

A

produce myelin sheath that speeds up signal and isolates nerves

22
Q

autonomic nervous system is controlled by

23
Q

a nerve is a

A

group of neurons bundled together by connective tissue
it can act as protection

24
what is the longest nerve in the body
the sciatic nerve
25
resting potential
the membrane potential of a neuron
26
what number is the resting motaential
avg-== -70 mV
27
an imbalance of chemicals in any cell will cause a
stimulus
28
stimulus is apart of what division
afferent division
29
membane potential stages
resting stage depolarization rising phase of action potential falling phase of action potential undershoot
30
resting stage
stimuli causes Na+ channels to open
31
Depolarization
interior become less negative Na+ channels open rapidly r
32
rising ohase of action potential
K+ slowly open during depolarization
33
FALLING OHASE OF THE ACTION POTENTIAL
K+ MOVES DOWN ELectrochemical gradient cell beocme increasingly negative
34
undershoot
very nergative below -70
35
anesthetics...
stop sensations of PNS usually block voltage gated na+ channels and prevents action potential
36
analegesic
stop sensation of CNS
37
the more + strong stimulus means
more frequent action potential
38
what is the saltatory conuction
increase conduction speed by up to 10x due to schwann cells surrounding neurons to form myelin sheath
