Cards

Term
difference between nerve and neuron
Definition
a neuron is a nerve cell, however a nerve consists of a bundle of axons
Term
Definition of Neuroglia or glial cells
Definition
Support and protect neurons
Term
definition plexus
Definition
extensive network of axons and sometimes neuron cell bodies located outside the CNS
Term
def: meninges
Definition
membranes that envelope the CNS
Term
Two functions of PNS
Definition

Sensory (afferent-from receptors to CNS)

and Motor (efferent- from CNS to effectors (muscles glands))

Term
location and definition of synapse
Definition
Junction between two cells, site where action potentials in one cell cause action potentials in another cell
Term
difference between cervical and lumbar enlargement
Definition
cervical supplies upper limbs, lumbar supplies lower limbs
Term
31 pairs of spinal nerves first pair exit vertebral column between skull and atlas, last four pair exit via the sacral foramina
Definition
Dorsal ramus innervate deep muscles of the trunk responsible for movements of the vertebral column.  Ventral Ramus what they innervate depends on what part of the spinal cord is considered.  Thoracic region: form intercostal nerves that innervate the intercostal muscles.  Remaining spinal nerve ventral rami (roots of the plexus): form five plexuses (intermingling of nerves)
Term

The Five plexuses:

Definition
Ventral rami of C1-C4=cervical plexus, vr of C5-T1=brachial plexus, vr of L1-L4=lumbar plexus, vr of L4-S4=sacral plexus, vr of S4 and S5=coccygeal plexus
Term
Phrenic Nerve:
Definition
From C3-C5 (cervical and brachial plexuses) Innervate diaphram
Term
Brachial plexus nerves:
Definition
Axillary, Radial, Musculocutaneous, Ulnar, Median, (smaller nerves such as pectoral, long thoracic, thoracodorsal, subscapular, suprascapular)
Term
Lumbar plexus nerves:
Definition
Obturator, femoral, tibial, common fibular (peroneal)
Term
more cranial nerves from cerebrum or cerrebellum?
Definition
cerebellum
Term
three functions of cerebellum
Definition
locomotion, balance, posture
Term
hypothalamus and mammilary body functions:
Definition
most inferior part of diencephalon.  Mam bodies control olfactory reflexes and emotional responses to odors.  Recieves imput from taste receptors, nipples, external genetalia, prefrontal cortex
Term
location and job of basal ganglia: found in the cerebrum, diencephalon, midbrain
Definition
motor function control, motor learning, memory learning
Term
four major lobes of cerebrum
Definition
frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, insula im guessing insula is not important
Term
cerebrum cortex vs medulla
Definition
cortex-outer surface, medulla-center
Term
cebebrospinal fluid
Definition
baths brain AND SPINAL CORD, protective cushion around CNS
Term
olfactory, facial, optic, vagus cranial nerves
Definition
olf 1 sens, fac 7 som motor sens and parasymp, optic 2 sens, vagus 10 som motor sens and para
Term
types of sensory receptors
Definition
mechanoreceptors (compression bending stretching of cells), chemoreceptors (smell and taste), thermoreceptors (change in temp), photoreceptors (respond to light, vision), Nociceptors (extreme mechanical, chemical, or thermal stimuli-pain)
Term
axillary nerve
Definition
laterally rotates arm, abducts arm
Term
radial nerve
Definition
movement elbow and wrist and thumb
Term
ulnar and median nerves
Definition
wrist finger hand, wrist finger hand thumb
Term
obturator
Definition
adduction of thigh and knee
Term
femoral
Definition
movement of hip and knee sartorius, quadriceps femoris
Term
tibial
Definition
movement of hip, knee, foot, toes
Term
peroneal
Definition
assist with movement in anterial and lateral muscles of legs and foot
Term
ANS divisions
Definition
sympathetic, parasympathetic, enteric
Term
four routes for sympathetic
Definition
spinal nerves, sympathetic nerves, splanchnic nerves, innervation to adrenal gland
Term
terminal ganglia
Definition
located near organ innervated or embedded in wall of organ
Term
vagus nerve
Definition
distribution of ANS fibers, parts of vagus nerve supply stomach and other viscera, somatic motor, sensory, and parasympathetic, cranial nerve 10
Term
cholinergic receptors and adrenergic receptors
Definition
acetylcholine binds to, both norepinephrine and epinephrine bind to
