Definition
The brain and spinal cord
Term
Where is the PNS located and what is its primary function
Definition
Outside of the brain and spinal cord, transmits information to and from the CNS
Term
What are the two systems of the PNS
Definition
Somatic Nervous System (SNS) and the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
Term
soma (somatic nervous system)
Definition
meaning body, it is the system that takes you places and gets things done
Term
afferent nerves in the SNS
Definition
are sensory, take messages to the CNS
Term
efferent nerves in the SNS
Definition
aree motor, go from the CNS to the muscles to move the body
Term
autonomic (nervous system)
Definition
meaning self- regulates your internal state
Term
afferent nerves in the ANS
Definition
from internal organs
Term
efferent nerves in the ANS
Definition
to internal organs
Term
Sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves are?
Definition
both efferent
Term
what are the two types of efferent nerves int he PNS
Definition
sympathetic and parasympathetic
Term
sympathetic efferent nerves do?
Definition
stimulate arousal, organises energy and directs it where it is needed
Term
parasympathetic efferent nerves do?
Definition
calms things down, helps to conserve energy
Term
somatic nervous system (part of the PNS) send what info in and what info out
Definition
in: sensory, out: motor
Term
autonomic nervous system ( part of the PNS send what info in and what info out
Definition
in: from the organs, out: to the organs from the brain
Term
which divisions of the body do you find the parasympathetic nervous system
Definition
cranial and sacral
Term
which divisions of the body do you find the sympathetic nervous system
Definition
lumber and thoracic

Term
what produces the spinal fluid
Definition
coroid plexus
Term
how does the CSF get to the spinal cord
Definition
via the central canal
Term
Four types of neurons:
Definition
unipolarsensory neuron transfer info from receptor cells to nerve cells), bipolar neuron(connecting adjacent cells in sensory system), multipolar neuron (transfer info between cells in a single structure), multipolar interneuron (connecting adjacent cells).
Term
Dorsal:
Ventral:
Definition
Dorsal: carries info into the spinal cord
Ventral: controls the limbs and muscles
Term
Info comes in to the spinal cord via the
Info goes out via the
Definition
Info comes in via the dorsal root ganglion
Info goes out via the ventral root ganglion
Term
