I am the sensory pathways. I receive and pass on information. From where do I receive information and to where do I pass on this information? |
Information in received from sensory receptors and pass it to motor neurons and/or the brain |
|
I am the brain. I am composed of two types of nervous tissue. What are they? |
The white matter (myelinated) in the middle and the grey matter (Un-myelinated) on the outside |
|
I am a gland which nervous system controls me? |
The autonomic system |
|
I am the central nervous system. i am composed of two parts. What are they. |
The brain and the spinal cord |
|
I am the sympathetic nervous system. When am I activated? I am the reflex arc. What three parts of the nervous system are connected in me. |
The sensory neuron the interneuron the motor neuron |
|
I am a node of Ranvier. What is my function in the neuron? |
I allow action potentials to pick up speed so they can propagate down the axon and reach the target cell or tissue |
|
I am the motor pathways. I am composed of two systems. What are they? |
somatic and autonomic nervous systems |
|
What is the function of an axon? |
Conducts impulses away from the cell body |
|
What is the function of a dendrite? |
Receive nerve impulses from other neurons and sensory receptors |
|
What is the function of the Myelin sheath? |
Protects myelinated neurons and speeds the rate of nerve impulse transmission. |
|
The nervous system is composed of what two systems? |
The central and peripheral |
|
Is the somatic nervous system controlled voluntarily or involuntarily? |
Voluntarily (Under conscious control) |
|
I am the interneurons. I receive, integrate and pass on information, where am I found, and to where do I pass on this information? |
Found in the spinal cord and passes information to the motor neuron and effector |
|
I am a nerve composed of many smaller cells. What two types of cells are found in me? |
Neurons and glial cells |
|
I am a neuron cell body. What is my function in the neuron? |
Process information from the dendrites. Decides if the input is large enough to pass on to the axon. |
|
Function of Schwann cell |
wrapped around the axon increases speed of nerve impulse |
|
What is the function of sensory receptors. |
receive stimuli and form a nerve impulse |
|
I am cardiac muscle which system controls me? |
The autonomic nervous system |
|
What are the two systems of the autonomic nervous system? |
The sympathetic and parasympathetic |
|
Where do motor neurons receive information from and where is it passed? |
From the interneurons it is passed to the effector |
|
what are the two pathways of the peripheral nervous system |
The sensory pathways and the motor pathways |
|
I'm the spinal cord what two parts of the nervous system do I provide communication between? |
The brain and the peripheral nervous system |
|
When is the parasympathetic nervous system activated? |
in times of rest |
|
What are the three parts of the neuron? |
Dendrite, Cell Body, Axon |
