autonomic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the part of the peripheral
| | | | | | | | | |


nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


(such as the heart). Its sympathetic division arouses; its parasympathetic division
| | | | | | | | | | |


calms.


somatic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the division of the peripheral
| | | | | | | | | |


nervous system that controls the body's skeletal muscles
| | | | | | |




sensory neurons - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-afferent neurons; neurons that carry
| | | | | | | | |


messages from sensory organs to the brain and spinal cords
| | | | | | | | |




motor neurons - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-efferent neurons; neurons that carry
| | | | | | | | |


messages from spinal cord/brain to muscles and glands
| | | | | | |




Schwann cells - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-produce myelin in PNS
| | | | | | |




Olingodendrocytes - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Produce myelin in CNS
| | | | | |




Astrocytes - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Support, protect, growth in CND
| | | | | | |

,Microglia - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Protection against microbes, engulf debris
| | | | | | | |


(CNS)


ependymal cells - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Form CSF IN CNS
| | | | | | |




satellite cells - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Support cells
| | | | |




Ganglion - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Cluster of neuron cell bodies in PNS
| | | | | | | | |




Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a cluster of neurons (a
| | | | | | | | | | |


ganglion) in a dorsal root of a spinal nerve
| | | | | | | |




a nucleus (plural form: nuclei) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Cluster of neuron cell
| | | | | | | | | | |


bodies in CNS | |




nerve - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Bundle it axons of PNS

, - Receives and integrates reflexes(spinal reflexes integrated in spinal cord)
| | | | | | | | |




tract - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-bundle of axons in the CNS
| | | | | | | |




resting membrane potential - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔--70mV = polarized
| | | | | | |




Depolarization - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Stimulus causes NA+ channels to open
| | | | | | | | |


(membrane potential becomes positive) | | |




Repolarization - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Volatage gated NA+ closes and K+ open,
| | | | | | | | | |


causing K to leave neuron (becomes more negative)
| | | | | | |




Hyperpolarization - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Too much K+ flows out (refractory
| | | | | | | | |


period)


threshold potential - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔--55mV (if stimulus is not above this
| | | | | | | | | | |


amount it is sub threshold = no AP
