1
Sensory Input
Detects changes in the environment, such as touching a hot stove.
New cards
2
Integration
Processes and interprets sensory input, like recognizing heat as dangerous.
New cards
3
Motor Output
Responds by activating muscles or glands, exemplified by pulling the hand away.
New cards
4
Central Nervous System (CNS)
Processes information and coordinates responses; consists of the brain and spinal cord.
New cards
5
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Connects the CNS to limbs and organs; includes cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and ganglia.
New cards
6
Sensory (Afferent) Division
Transmits signals to the CNS.
New cards
7
Motor (Efferent) Division
Sends responses from the CNS to muscles and glands.
New cards
8
Somatic Nervous System
Voluntary control of skeletal muscles.
New cards
9
Autonomic Nervous System
Regulates internal organs involuntarily.
New cards
10
Sympathetic Division
Increases heart rate and dilates pupils for 'fight or flight' response.
New cards
11
Parasympathetic Division
Slows heart rate and stimulates digestion for 'rest and digest' response.
New cards
12
Astrocytes
CNS glial cells providing structural support and regulating the blood-brain barrier.
New cards
13
Microglia
Act as immune cells in the CNS, removing debris and pathogens.
New cards
14
Ependymal Cells
Line brain ventricles and produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
New cards
15
Oligodendrocytes
Form myelin sheaths in the CNS.
New cards
16
Schwann Cells
Produce myelin sheath in the PNS.
New cards
17
Dendrites
Receive signals from other neurons.
New cards
18
Cell Body (Soma)
Contains the nucleus and organelles of the neuron.
New cards
19
Axon
Conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body.
New cards
20
Axon Terminals
Release neurotransmitters to signal other neurons or muscles.
New cards
21
Myelin Sheath
Insulates axons and speeds up electrical impulses.
New cards
22
Resting Potential
The stable, negative charge of a neuron at -70mV maintained by the Na⁺/K⁺ pump.
New cards
23
Depolarization
Process where voltage-gated Na⁺ channels open and Na⁺ rushes in, making the membrane positive.
New cards
24
Repolarization
Closing of Na⁺ channels and opening of K⁺ channels causes K⁺ to rush out, returning to negative potential.
New cards
25
Hyperpolarization
Brief phase where the membrane is more negative than resting potential due to excess K⁺ exiting.
New cards
26
Neurotransmitter Release
Triggered by an action potential reaching the axon terminal, involving Ca²⁺ influx and vesicle release.
