Study Guide: Nervous system

what is the nervous system?

• The ULTMATE control center

• The cerebellum, cerebrum, and brainstem

• menings and cerebrospinal fluid

• Sensory neurons, integration and motor output

Name the two types of cells that make up the nervous tissue

• White and grey matter

• Cerebrum and brainstem

• Neurons and neuroglia

• Neurons and menings

Describe Neurons

Describe neuroglia

what does the sensory neurons do?

• Receives stimuli via millions of sensory receptors throughout the body.

• Processes the input stimuli and decides what should be done.

• Activates effector organs to cause a response.

• life support containing the nucleus and most organelles.

what is integration?

• receives stimuli via millions of sensory receptors throughout the body

• Activates effectors organs to cause a response

• Functions in learning, speech, emotion, reasoning, vision, hearing and fine movements.

• Process the input stimuli and decides what should be done.

What is the function of the motor output?

• Maintains posture and balance

• cushions the brain from injury

• Activates effector organs to cause a response.

• Receives stimuli via millions of sensory receptors throughout the body.

What are the components of CNS? (Select Two)

• Brain stem

• Spinal Cord

• Integration

• menings

What are meninges?

• excitable cells that respond to stimuli

• Layers of tissue surrounding the brain

• cerebrospinal fluid

• cushions the brain from injury

What is the purpose of the cerebrospinal fluid?

• Cushions the brain from injury

• Functions in. learning, speech, emotion, reasoning, vision, hearing and fine movements

• Maintains posture and balance

• fight or flight
