Motor impulse
28
A neuron that carries motor info from the cns to an effector
Motor neuron
29
Sensory info that is coming from an effector and going to the cns
Sensory impulse
30
A neuron that carries sensory information from an effector to the cns
Sensory neuron
31
Consists of all parts of the nervous system except the brain and spinal cord
Pns
32
The ending of the spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that continues down through the vertebral column before exiting towards each leg and is called the
Cauda Equina
33
The division of the nervous system that regulates the body when brain perceives it to be in a normal restful situation is the
Perasympathetic
34
A nerve cell is called a
Neuron
35
The part of the nerve cell that receives an impulse is called a
Dendrite
36
The points along the axon that are between the Schwan cells and are not covered by Myelin
Nodes of ranvier
37
Two parts of the Peripheral nervous system and what they control
Somatic - voluntary | Autonomic- involuntary
38
Space between each neuron is
Synapse
39
The coding along the neuron that allows for a quick transmission of an impulse is called
Myelin
40
The part of the nerve cell that houses the nucleus is called the
Cell body
41
The division of the nervous system that regulates the body when the brain perceives it to be in a dangerous stressful situation is the
Sympathetic
42
The part of the nerve cell that since transmits an impulse is called the
Axon
43
The cells found along the number on the guide the impulse down the axon
Schwann cell
44
The central nervous system has an outer covering of membranes called the
Meninges
45
How many pairs of spinal nerves
31
46
The spinal cord consist of a core of
Gray matter
47
The horizontal bar of gray matter that surrounds the central canal
Gray commissioner
48
The spinal cord allows two-way communication between the body and the
Brain
49
The white matter of the spinal cord is divided into how many parts
Three
50
The spinal cord consist of outer edges made of
White matter
51
The outer membrane that attaches the CNS to bone
Dura matter
52
On the posterior side the spinal cord is divided into a right and left have by the
Posterior sulcus
53
Holds the cerebral spinal fluid
Central canal
54
On the interior side the gray matter of the spinal cord is called the
Anterior horn
55
On the posterior side the white matter of the spinal cord is called the
Posterior funinculus
56
Sensory information traveling from the spinal cord to the brain follows the
Ascending tract
57
On the lateral side the white matter of the spinal cord is called the
Lateral funinculus
58
On the lateral side the gray matter of the spinal cord is called the
Lateral horn
59
The inner membrane that directly covers the cns
Pia mater
60
The spinal cord functions by serving as the Center for
Spinal reflexes
61
On the positive side the gray matter of the spinal cord is called the
Posterior horn
62
Motor impulses traveling from the Brain to the body follow the
Descending tracts
63
On the interior side the white matter of the spinal cord is called the
Anterior funinculus
64
The division of the PNS that carry impulses to organs and glands
Autonomic
65
The bundle spinal nerves that extend past the spinal cord and travel through the vertebral column before exiting in the pelvis area is called
Cauda equida
