nervous system - ✔✔the control system of the body that takes in information and elicits a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
response from either muscles or glands
|| || || || ||
sensory input - ✔✔incoming information from the body or external environment
|| || || || || || || || || ||
integration - ✔✔the process of interpreting and selecting of response to a stimuli that
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
occurs only in the central nervous system
|| || || || || ||
response - ✔✔the outcome of integration elicited by the peripheral nervous system that
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
occurs by activating an effect organ
|| || || || ||
central nervous system - ✔✔nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
peripheral nervous system - ✔✔nervous system consisting of all nerves outside the brain
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
and spinal cord
|| ||
nerves (in PNS) - ✔✔a bundle of nerve cell processes in PNS
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
tracts - ✔✔a bundle of axons in the white matter of the spinal cord that have specific
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
destinations
sensory input - ✔✔the afferent part of the PNS that carries information towards the CNS
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
somatic afferents - ✔✔sensory neurons of the PNS that carry information about the skin,
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
skeletal muscles, and joints
|| || ||
,visceral afferents - ✔✔sensory neurons of the PNS that carry information about the body's
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
organs
afferents - ✔✔nerves that carry information towards the CNS
|| || || || || || || ||
efferents - ✔✔nerves that carry information away from the CNS
|| || || || || || || || ||
motor output - ✔✔the efferent part of the PNS that carries information away from the CNS
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
and elicits a response
|| || ||
somatic nervous system - ✔✔a subdivision of the PNS motor output that uses motor
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
neurons to activate skeletal muscles
|| || || ||
voluntary nervous system - ✔✔somatic nervous system
|| || || || || ||
autonomic nervous system - ✔✔a subdivision of the PNS motor output that regulates organ
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
activity and bodily fluids
|| || ||
involuntary nervous system - ✔✔autonomic nervous system
|| || || || || ||
sympathetic nervous system - ✔✔a subdivision of the autonomic nervous system that is
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
responsible for the "flight" or "fight" response || || || || || ||
parasympathetic nervous system - ✔✔a subdivision of the autonomic nervous system that is
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
responsible for the rest and digest response
|| || || || || || ||
, spinal cord - ✔✔1 of the 5 major parts of the CNS that is the most caudal part of the CNS,
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
has 31 pairs of spinal nerves, and controls and receives sensory information from the skin ,
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
joints, and muscles of the limbs and trunk
|| || || || || || ||
brain stem - ✔✔1 of the 5 major parts of the CNS that is an extension of the spinal cord that
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
is responsible for the skin and muscles of the head and is the origin of cranial nerves
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
diencephalon - ✔✔1 of the 5 major parts of the CNS that lies costal to the midbrain and || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
contains the thalamus and hypothalamus || || || ||
thalamus - ✔✔the relay site of the cerebral cortex || || || || || || || ||
hypothalamus - ✔✔control center of autonomic nervous system, endocrine system, and || || || || || || || || || || ||
visceral functions ||
cerebrum - ✔✔1 of the 5 major parts of the CNS that has 4 lobes with 3 major functional
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
types: sensory, associative, and motor
|| || || ||
cerebellum* - ✔✔1 of the 5 major parts of the CNS || || || || || || || || || ||
pia matter - ✔✔most adjacent layer to the spinal cord of 3 layers surrounding the spinal
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
cord
arachnoid layer - ✔✔middle layer of the 3 layers surrounding the spinal cord
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
dura matter - ✔✔outer most layer of the 3 layers surrounding the spinal cord
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
