1What ways can the brain react to sensory data
Muscle contractions and gland secrertions
2The Central Nervous system is
The Brain and spine
3The Periferial nervous system is
all peripheral nerves(all cranial and spinal nerves
4Nervous system has two major parts
Central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
5The Brain controls
The four lobes(cereberal hemispheres), thalamus, hypothalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum
6The brain is split into cerebral hemispheres with 4 major lobes
Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, and Occipital
7Thalamous responsible for
takes in all sensory info except smell
8the Hypothalamous responsible for
maintaining homeostasis but also maintaining bodily tension to change behavior Ex. giving the feeling of hunger so someone eats
9Three parts of the brain stem
The pons, Midbrain, and medulla
10The Cerebellum controls
muscle memory/ automated muscle actions Ex. speaking, writing, walking
11The central nervous system is mapped
by meninges
12The peripheral nervous system is mapped
by epineurium
13If you are experiencing pain because of a stretch it is
actually the epineurium Ex. standing toe touch
14Nerves can be as thick as a
pinky or index finger
15The PNS is split into
motor and sensory neurons
16Motor neurons are
efferent aka they send signals away from the brain
17Sensory nerves are
afferent aka they send signals to the brain
18There are two types of motor neurons
somatic and autonomic
19Somatic neurons innervate
skeletal muscles
20Autonomic neurons innervate
smooth muscles, cardiac muscles and glands
21Autonomic Neurons control the
sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system
22The Sympathetic nervous system is
the fight or flight response ex. dilated pupils, higher heart rate, high blood pressure
23The Parasympathetic nervous system is
responsible for rest and digestion ex. undilate pupils, lower heart rate, lower blood pressure
24Dura mater
innervated part of the meninges
25Sensory neuron types
Mechanoreceptive neurons
Nociceptive
Smell
Sight
Sound
Taste
Vestibular
26Mechanoreceptive neurons two types
Muscle spindle and Golgi tendon organ
27muscle spindle
detect muscle stretch
28Golgi tendon organ
detect muscle tension
29Sensation
peripheral phenomenon, raw data from sensory receptors
30Perception
central phenomenon, conscious experience of what's happening
31Nociceptive
detects actual or potential tissue damage
32Mechanoreceptive neurons
touch
33Vestibular
movement of the head
34Vestibular nucleus takes in info from
mechanoreceptors, visual info, and vestibular apparatus/nerve to give a sense of balance
