Cards in this deck (31)
- 1Parts of a neuroncell body, axon, dendrites
- 2Dendritestransmit the impulse toward the cell body
- 3Axontransmit the impulse away the cell body
- 4Sensory (afferent) neuronstransmit nerve impulses toward the CNS
- 5Motor (efferent) neuronstransmit nerve impulses away from the CNS toward the effector organs such as muscles, glands, and digestive organs
- 64 lobesFrontal- planning, reward, motivation, short-term
Temporal- sensory, language, speech, memory, emotion
Parietal- taste, touch, temp
Occipital- visual - 7Cerebrumassociated with movement and sensory input
- 8Cerebellumresponsible for muscular coordination
- 9Medulla oblongatacontrols many vital functions such as respiration and heart rate
- 10How long is the spinal cord from the foramen magnum to the first/second lumbar vertebra18 inches
- 11How many pairs of spinal nerves are known to exit the spinal cord?31
- 12Simple (spinal) reflexesnerve impulses travel through the spinal cord only and do not reach the brain
- 13The sensory impulses enter the _____ horns of the spinal cord. The motor impulses leave through the _____ horns of the spinal cord.dorsal
ventral - 14Endocrine systemassists the nervous system in homeostasis, important in growth and sexual maturation
**COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE USE OF HORMONES** - 15Hormoneschemical messengers that control the growth, differentiation, and metabolism of specific target cells
- 16Tropic hormoneshormones that act on other endocrine glands
- 17Steroid hormonesenter target cells & effect the DNA of the nucleus
- 18Protein hormones (nonsteroid hormones)remain at the cell surface and act through a second messenger, usually a substance called adenosine monophosphate (AMP)
- 19What does the parathyroid hormone regulate?Calcium
- 20Where are the pressoreceptors and chemoreceptors (specialized sensory nerves that assist with the regulation of circulation and respiration) located?Carotid body
(on the side of ur neck) - 21Cortisolhormone that reduces inflammation, raises blood sugar levels, inhibits the release of histamine
- 22List endocrine glandshypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal gland, pancreas, gonads
- 23What attaches the pituitary gland to the hypothalamus?infundibulum
- 24Hypothalamusproduce inhibiting & releasing hormones
- 25Anterior lobe of pituitary gland*Master*
releases hormones, called tropic hormones, because they act on other endocrine glands - 26Posterior lobe of pituitary glandreleases oxytocin (labor hormone) & antidiuretic hormone (ADH) (water retention from kidneys)
- 27Which of the following is not produced by an exocrine gland? A) digestive enzymes B) adrenaline C) milk D) salivaB) adrenaline
adrenaline is produced by adrenals, which are endocrine glands
Exocrine glands have ducts, and endocrine doesn't. Endocrine released right into the blood stream. - 28Lipase breaks down--fats
- 29Nucleases breaks down--nucleic acids
- 30Amylase enzymes breaks down--carbohydrates
- 31Protease enzymes break down--proteins
