Cards

Term
The nervous system includes two divisions:
Definition

Central nervous system (CNS)

 

Peripheral nervous system (PNS)

Term
CNS contains
Definition

Brain

Spinal cord

Term
PNS contains
Definition

Cranial nerves III-XII

Spinal nerves

 

Term
PNS has two divisions
Definition

Autonomic (sensory division)

 

Somatic (motor division)

Term
Autonomic division of PNS
Definition

Sensory division

sensing stuff outside the body

 

Sensory system

 

Motor system

sympathetic

= figher flight, increases breathing & muscle tone in heart

parasympathetic

= rest, brings it down 2 a norm resting state & also controls digestion

 

Properioception ~knowing where ur body parts are

Term

Somatic division of PNS

 

Definition

Motor system

 

Voluntary control

 

Skeletal muscle movement

 

Perception of external stimuli

(Conscious of this)

(EX: Seeing something out of the corner of eye & turning head)

 

Touch

 

& Has its own motor system

look @ these

 

PS

 

Kensey

dont worry about this 

I put this in soo I wouldnt forget 2 review it 4 anatomy

Term

Neurons

2 types 

Definition

Afferent (sensory)

Efferent (motor)

Term
Efferent neurons
Definition

motor neurons

Conduct CNS - effectors

Term
Afferent neurons
Definition

Sensory neurons

Conduct impulses receptors - CNS

Term

Reflex arc

 

&

important b/c

Definition

Specialized neural pathways

Synapse, takes place in spinal cord

Signal sent simultaneously to brain & ,spinal cord~ while its being sent back from motor neurons

 

 

If you burn your hand, signal is sent fast enough that you can pull your hand away (unconsciously- w/o thinking abt it)

Reflex arch
Term

Nerves/Neuron

parts

Definition

Cell body

houses cellular organelles

 

Axon

sends impulse away from neuron

Short projections (branches- related 2 what its innvervating)

includes:

Schwann cells (form mylin sheath)

Nodes of Ranvier (space where there is no sheath)

[Functs 2 increase the signal 2 where it needs 2 go, makes it faster, increases conductance by making ions crazy]

 

Dendrites

Receives/transmits signal

long projections

 

 

Term

The stretching and branching (long projections) of the dendrites

PURPOSE IS 2

Definition
Increase the surface area available for receiving incoming information

Muscle Structure

& layers

 

Know that there are 3 layers

 

There r 3 layers of CT in skeletal muscle:

Epimysium (Outer)

Perimysium (Middle)

Endomysium (Inner)

 

& the muscle cell/fiber

 

 

-fascicle- bundle of muscle fibers/cells

-muscle fibers- indiv unit

-myofibrils- bundles of myofilaments

 

-myofilaments (contractile proteins)

            -actin

            -myosin

 

 

 

Term

Muscle fibers

parts

Definition

Largely composed of Proteins

Actin (thin) filaments

Myosin (thick) filaments

 

Sarcomere

length from Z line to Z line

Term

Definition

Muscle fiber

 

REVIEW IT

 

Kensy-- dont worry about this I put this in 4 anatomy

Term

Muscle contraction

 

sliding filament theory

Definition
Myofilaments (actin, & myosin) overlap to produce a muscle contraction
Term

Muscle contraction 

 

In detail

 

(will add if I hve time)

Definition
Term

Skeletal system

 

Functions

Definition

Support


point of Attachment 4 muscles


Movement


Protection 


Blood cell production

(bone marrow produces immature blood cells)

 

Storage of calcium

Term
Bone cells
