nervous review Flashcards
a motor neuron conducts impulses
from the central nervous system to muscles
in relax arc the nerve impulses is started
in sensory receptors
the sympathetic system is responsible for
emergency situations
what is cerebrum function
thinking memory
what is cerebellum function?
Muscle coordination
what is the thalamus function?
Sensory input
What is the hypothalamus function?
Homeostasis
What is the mid brains function?
Vision
what is the corpus callosum function?
Connects left and right hemispheres
What is medulla oblongata is function
Controls heart blood pressure, breathing
The peripheral nervous system contains
Cranial nerves and spinal nerves
The PNS is subdivided it into
Somatic an automatic system
The somatic system serves
Muskoskeletal system an extra sense organs
the autoatic system serves
internal body organs 
What are the two divisions of auto somatic system?
parasympathetic and sympathetic
when schwann cells wrap around an axon this is called
myelin sheath
Gaps where myelin is not present on a neuron is
node of ranveir
an impulse, jumping from node to node is called
Saltatory conduction
when an axon is not conducting an impulse, the inside of the neuron is
Negative and at -65 mv
What does the sodium potassium pump do in resting potential?
maintain uneven distribution of Na and K ions am
In resting potential where are sodium ions are pumped
Outside and potassium in
what measures voltages during conductions of impulse
oscilloscope
Two main functions of spinal cord t
Receives info and send messages to brain
What is gray matter?
has unmyelinated cell bodies and contains interneuron
