Somatic nervous system?

Answer 2

Voluntary system controls
Skeletal muscles, skin, (contraction and reflex)

Made up of sensory (Afferent) and motor (Efferent) nerurones

Part of the peripheral nervous system

Decisions are made in the?

Detect sensations via

Answer 7

Through different types of receptor in end of nerve cells

Question 8

Make up of spinal cord

Answer 8

Cross connection, supporting tissue and nerves travelling up and down

Question 9

Which neurones go up and which go down the spinal cord

Answer 9

Sensory - up

Motor - down

Answer 10

3

Question 11

Parts of Peripheral nervous system

Answer 11

ANS & VNS

Autonomic and visceral nervous system

Question 12

Efferent

Answer 12

Out going - motor neurones

have an effect

Question 13

Afferent

Answer 13

Swelling

Question 15

7 Somatic sensations

Answer 15

Touch
Pressure
Vibration
Temperature 
Pain
Proprioception (awareness of where your body is in space)

Question 16

How many neurones in the somatic motor pathway to cortex

Answer 16

2

Question 17

What neurones are in the back of the spinal cord

Answer 17

Sensory

Question 18

Neurones in front of spinal cord

Answer 18

Motor

Motor neurones also go out the side

Question 19

What’s Dorsal root ganglion

Answer 19

Group of nerves clustered together.

- found in sensory neurones

Question 20

All plexi are formed from the central primary division of the peripheral nerve.

Answer 20

True

Question 21

Plexus

Answer 21

Singular of plexi . Connection and Crossing over of neurones

Question 22

Location of brachial plexus

Answer 22

Behind the clavicle and in front of the first rib

Question 23

5 main nerves from the brachial plexus

Answer 23

Radial, musculocutaneous, ulnar , axillary, median

Question 24

What do Autonomic nerves control and provide another name?

Answer 24

Involuntary nerves (visceral VNS)- controls smooth muscles, blood vessels, heart, and all other organs, sexual
Organs

Forms part of the peripheral nervous system

Question 25

What nervous system does the parasympathetic and sympathetic fall under

Answer 25

Autonomic nervous system ANS

Question 26

Parasympathetic is dominate when are at at rest and digest - anabolic

Answer 26

Sympathetic is dominant when we are under stress - fight and flight - catabolic

Question 27

Anabolism term

Answer 27

Chemical reaction that builds small molecules into larger ones - requires energy

Question 28

Catabolism term

Answer 28

Chemical reaction that breaks down large molecules into smaller ones - releases energy

Question 29

Sympathetic motor NS where does it emerge from

Answer 29

Btw T1 - L2 (in front Spinal cord in rib ) | No sympathetic Motor Neurones above or below these point

Question 30

Two geographical parts of the somatic nervous system

Answer 30

CNS & PNS central nervous system and peripheral nervous system

Question 31

Where do the parasympathetic motor neurones emerge from

Answer 31

C 3,7,9 & 10 and S 2,3,4

Question 32

In the parasympathetic NS where are the joins (synapses) btw the pre ganglionic motor neurone and the post ganglionic motor neuron

Answer 32

In the organ

Question 33

In the parasympathetic NS up which cranial nerve do the physiological and stretch sensations go

Answer 33

C9,10

Question 34

How many spinal peripheral nerves are there

Answer 34

31 | Emerging from C1 - S5

Question 35

What are the two main functional (jobs) parts of the somatic nervous system

Answer 35

Skin and skeletal

Question 36

Where is the somatic nervous system located geographically

Answer 36

Skeletal Muscle and skin

Question 37

Why does the autonomic NS wants to maintain a constant internal environment

Answer 37

So the body chemistry/ physiology can function as it should and maintain a healthy working environment

Question 38

Parasympathetic NS is dominant when

Answer 38

Anabolic state - rest / digest state

Question 39

Parasympathetic NS the post ganglionic neurones are very long or short

Answer 39

Short
