The (a)   is what carries nerve impulses toward the cell body.

The (a)   carries nerve impulses away from the body

The ____ ___ is a fat/lipid that is a protective covering for the axon.

(a)  

This increases the rate of impulse transmission. A (a)   is the space between the myelin sheaths of the axon. This is how nerve impulses jump or synapses happen- going from one neuron to another.

The CNS contains the ___ and ___ ___. The brain is a mass of nerve tissues and is protected by the ____

(a)  

The (a)   is separated into lobes. They are the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital lobes.

This part of the brain is responsible for _____, thought, __, judgement, ___, sensation, sight, smell, ___, and voluntary body movements.

(a)  

The cerebellum is below the cerebrum. It is responsible for muscle coordination, ____, posture, and ____.

(a)  

The (a)   is in the brain stem. It is responsible for conducting messages to other parts of the brain and reflexes.

Afferent- (a)   messages up to brain.

Efferent- (a)   messages from the brain to nerves that goes to muscles and glands.

The ___ is known as " fight or flight". Your body releases norepinephrine and your heart rate increases and your blood pressure increases. ____ ____ is the only thing that is decreased.

(a)  

The (a)   does the opposite after an emergency to counteract and bring you back to your balanced state.

The cerebellum is below the cerebrum. It is responsible for muscle coordination, ____, posture and ___ ___.

(a)  

The diencephalon is between the cerebrum and the midbrain. It has 2 structures; the thalamus and the hypothalamus. The ___ is the relay center of the brain that allows recognition of pain and body ____.

(a)  

The (a)   is what regulates and controls the autonomic nervous system, temperature, appetite, sleep, blood vessel dilation and constriction.

The ____ is below the cerebrum but on top of the brain stem. It is responsible for conducting ___ between brain parts and for some eye and auditory reflexes.

(a)  

The (a)   is in the brainstem.

The ____ ____ is the lowest part of the brain stem.

(a)  

The (a)   is the membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord.

Cerebrospinal fluid is found in the (a)   of brain and subarachnoid space.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)- ____, degenerative neuromuscular disease where Nerve cells in the CNS that control ___ movement deteriorate, so the muscles weaken and atrophy.

(a)  

Cerebral Palsy (CP)- brain damage that causes a disturbance in (a)   muscle action

Nerve pain that's experienced without stimulation of the nerve receptor.

(a)  

Paralysis: results from brain and spinal injury. Destroys (a)   .

One sided paralysis

(a)  

Paralysis from the waist down

(a)  

paralysis from the neck down

(a)  

(a)   - Clear, watery fluid that fills the space between the cornea and iris. It helps bend light rays and keeps the eye curved

(a)   - jellylike substance that fills the area behind the lens. It also bends the light and helps the eyeball keep its shape-.

(a)   - lazy eye. Occurs in early childhood; poor vision in the lazy eye causes the other eye to compensate.

TX: Cover the good eye with a patch to stimulate the lazy eye to strengthen it.

(a)   - abnormal shape-/curvature of cornea- that causes blurred vision.

(a)   - occurs when the normally clear lens becomes cloudy or opaque. Causes: aging, trauma.

s/s: halos around lights, blurred vision, milky white pupil.

TX: removal of lens and implanted intraocular lens or glasses/contacts

(a)   - Inflammation of the conjunctiva: pink eye. Caused by bacteria or allergen that infects the conjunctiva.

S/S: redness, irritation, watering, itching, pus, sclera pink. HIGH CONTAGIOUS! TX: disinfect every area of home, work, school that has been touched. Wash hands frequently, avoid touching the eye, use antihistamines and steroid eye drops.

(a)   - Increased pressure in the eye caused by excess aqueous humor; common after the age of 40 and causes blindness.

S/S: loss of peripheral vision, halos around lights, limited night vision. Controlled w meds

(a)   - Farsightedness. Can't see up close. Light rays aren't refracted and the image focuses behind the retina.

______ ______- blood vessels of the retina are damaged and center part of retina is damaged. This is age related normally; the retina thins and is a common cause of blindness.

(a)  

(a)   - nearsightedness. Can't see far away. Light rays refracted too much and the image focuses in front of retina. Corrected by contact lenses/glasses.

(a)   - "40-itis" the lens loses elasticity and reading glasses are needed. You will see people holding things far away to be able to read it, If it is small print.

(a)   - Eyes don't focus together. One may be cross-eyed. Caused by weak muscles.

TX: surgery on eye muscles, corrective lenses or eye exercises

(a)   - external part of the ear that you can.

External Auditory Canal visible hole that leads to the inside of the ear.

It is lined with cerumen. This protects the ear from invading microorganisms.

(a)   - separates the outer ear from the middle ear.

(a)   - smallest bones found in the body. They are the malleus, incus, and stapes. These bones transmit sound waves from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear.

(a)   - separated from middle ear by the oval window.

(a)   - look like a snail, contains the organ of corti that is a receptor of sound waves. The waves are transmitted to the auditory nerve that goes to the brain and it interprets what we hear.

(a)   - also in the inner ear. It has liquid and hair like fibers that bend when the liquid moves with the head and body. This liquid helps to maintain our Sense of Balance and equilibrium.

Diseases/Conditions of the Ear:

(a)   - Conductive or sensory; if the loss is conductive, deafness is when sound waves aren't being conducted in the inner ear. Could be from wax plug, foreign body, infection.

TX: eliminate the cause. Hearing aid is common.

(a)   - collection of fluid in the inner ear. It degenerates the hairs in the cochlea. Causes permanent deafness.

(a)   - Inflammation of external auditory canal "swimmers ear." Caused by bacteria/virus. Inserting Bobby pins, finger nails or q tips can cause.

TX: antibiotics

(a)   - inflammation or infection of the middle ear. Caused by bacteria/virus. May require surgery to place tubes in ears. This is called Myringotony. It is an incision made into the tympanic membrane and a tube is inserted into the middle ear relieve pressure.

Gustation: Taste

The tip of the tongue tastes ____ ____ foods.

(a)  

The side/sides of the tongue tastes (a)   food

(a)   of the tongue tastes bitter food.

(a)   of the tongue tastes meaty/savory foods.

Olfactory receptors are located in the (a)   cavity.

Impulses from (a)   receptors are sent to the brains nerve to interpret smell.
