What parts of body are associated with the Central Nervous system?
Brain, Spinal Cord
2
What are Nerves composed of and what do they do?
Bundle of axons that carry sensory or motor info to or from the CNS
3
What is Afferent Division
Brings Sensory info from peripheral into the Central Nervous system?
4
What is Efferent Division?
Brings Motor info from the Central Nervous sytem out to peripheral
5
What is the Somatic Nervous system?
Controls skeletal muscle contraction
6
What is the Autonomic Nervous System?
Automatically regulates smooth and cardiac muscle secretion from glands
7
What is the function of a Neuron?
Perform all of the Nervous system communication, Info processing, and control functions
8
What are the classifications of Neurons?
A multipolar Neruon, A bipolar Neuron, A pseudo unipolar neuron.
9
What would be classified as a collection of Neuron Cell bodies in the Peripheral Nervous System
Ganglion
10
What would be classified as a Collection of Neuron cell bodies in the Central Nervous system?
Nucleus
11

what are the parts of a Neuron?
Cell body (Soma), Dendrites, Axons
12
Bipolar neuron Classifications
One dendrite that branches one axon with cell body inbetween
13
psedudounipolar Neuron Classification
Dendrite and axon are continuous with cell body branch off the axon
14
Multipolar neuron
Have 2 or more dendrites a single axon with cell body between
15
What do Pseudounipolar Neruons help with?
Deliever information from the peripheral sensory receptors to the CNS
16
What are the functions of an Astrocyte?
To Maintain Blood-brain Barrier, Guide neuron development, And control the fluid environment
17
Where do Microglia stem from?
Blood stem cells
18
What is the Function of a Oligodendrocyte?
To wrap surfaces of Axons with myelin to help speed up the process
19
What are the sections called that arent wrapped by Myelin?
Node of Ranvier
20
What nervous system are Schwann cells found
Found in the PNS
21
What is the major difference between oligodendrocyte and Schwann cells?
Oligodendrocyte is found in the Central NS and Schwann cells found in Peripheral NS
