Term
brain stem has four components
Definition
diencephalon, midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata

spinal nerves
Term
what type of nerves are attached to the brain and can be sensory, motor, or both
Definition
cranial nerves
Term
sensory neurons look like puesodounipolar neurons, multipolar, or bipolar
Definition
puseudounipolar neurons

spinal cord
Term
what is formed from the joining of the dorsal and ventral roots off the spinal cord
Definition
spinal nerve
Term
graded potentials can be either what?
Definition
depolarizing or hyperpolarizing
Term
if a graded potential is synaptic, it relies on what?
Definition
chemically gated ion channels
Term
if a graded potential is sensory, it relies on what?
Definition
stress/chemically gated ion channels
Term
what is transmitted from the CNS toward the periphery to control muscles or glands
Definition
motor action potential
Term
what is initiated in the periphery and transmitted toward the brain
Definition
sensory action potential
Term
sensory or motor? when you depolarize synaptic graded potentials
Definition
motor
Term
sensory or motor? when you depolarize receptor potentials
Definition
sensory
Term
speed of action potential conduction along the axon is determined by what?
Definition
the axon diameter and myelination
Term
mylelienated axons have what that prevents the ionic diffusion
Definition
laminations
Term
the jumping of action potential from node to node in the myelinated axons.
Definition
saltatory conduction
Term
A-alpha type axons control what
Definition
skeletal muscle
Term
A-delta type axons control what
Definition
sharp pain
Term
B type axons are what
Definition
autonomic axons
Term
c type axons control what
Definition
dull, aching, burning pain
Term
presynaptic membrane does what?
Definition
releases neurotransmitters
Term
what is incapable of conduction action potentials because it has little to no voltage-gated channels
Definition
the neuron soma
Term
what is required to bring the axon hillock to its threshold voltage
Definition
summation of postsynaptic EPSPs
Term
occurs when multiple synapses induce post synaptic potentials at around the same time and effects are added together
Definition
spatial summation
Term
what type of junction is a specialized excitatory synapse between a motor axon and a skeletal muscle fiber
Definition
the neuromuscular junction
Term
characteristics used to describe a particular type of stimulus
