4 properties of muscle tissue - Correct Answer ✅ contactility, excitability, extensibility, and elasticity Schwann cells - Correct Answer ✅ make myelin in PNS Satelite cells - Correct Answer ✅ surround and provide nutrients for neurons in PNS Astrocytes - Correct Answer ✅ Provide structural and metabolic support for neuron in CNS Oligodendrocytes - Correct Answer ✅ create and wrap axons in a myelin sheath in CNS Microglia - Correct Answer ✅ act as the brains immune system in CNS Ependymal - Correct Answer ✅ lines the central cavities of the brain and spinal cord in CNS types of glial cells in PNS - Correct Answer ✅ schwann and satellite types of cells in CNS - Correct Answer ✅ astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and ependymal
exocrine glands - Correct Answer ✅ secrete chemical substances into ducts that lead either to other organs or out of the body endocrine cells - Correct Answer ✅ hormones pass directly into the bloodstream or tissues of the body for distrubution Receptor - Correct Answer ✅ site of stimulus action sensory neurons - Correct Answer ✅ neurons that carry incoming information from the sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord Integration Center - Correct Answer ✅ either monosynaptic or polysynaptic region within the CNS Motor Neuron - Correct Answer ✅ a neuron that sends an impulse to a muscle or gland, causing a reaction Effector - Correct Answer ✅ Muscle fiber or gland cell that responds to efferent impulses by contracting or secreting somatic reflexes - Correct Answer ✅ activate skeletal muscle
Cerebellum function - Correct Answer ✅ Balance and coordination cerebrum function - Correct Answer ✅ thinking, personality, sensations, movements, memory brain stem function - Correct Answer ✅ Connects the brain and spinal cord Synergists - Correct Answer ✅ (helper)- Small muscle that aids prime mover Antagonists - Correct Answer ✅ (against) Muscle that is opposing an action Agonist - Correct Answer ✅ (leader) Primer mover. Muscle that is causing an action dura mater - Correct Answer ✅ -outermost layer -made of tough, white, fiborous connective tissue -contains many blood vessels -attaches to inside of cranial cavity
arachnoid mater - Correct Answer ✅ -middle layer -thin, web-like membrane -lacks blood vessels -between dura and pia *subarachnoid space: between arachnoid and pia, contains cerebrospinal fluid pia mater - Correct Answer ✅ -innermost layer -thin, contains blood vessels -attached to surface of brain and spinal cord -nourishes brain cells & protects Broca's area - Correct Answer ✅ Controls language expression - an area of the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech. Wernickes area - Correct Answer ✅ it is involved in the understanding of written and spoken language Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) - Correct Answer ✅ plasma-like clear fluid circulating in and around the brain and spinal cord
(wheel barrow) Mechanical advantage because the effort is less than the load. Give an example of a class 3 lever - Correct Answer ✅ Bend your arm Load is further away from the pivot than the effort Hypothalamus - Correct Answer ✅ found inferior to the thalamus, has 4 major regions, controls many body activities and is one of the major regulators of homeostasis. Thalamus - Correct Answer ✅ located superior to the midbrain & contains nuclei that serves as relay station for all sensory impulses (EXCEPT SMELL) to the cerebral cortex. Plays role in maintenance of consciousness Epithalamus - Correct Answer ✅ lies superior and posterior to the thalamus and contains the pineal gland. The pineal gland secretes melatonin (what helps us sleep) and habenular nuclei which are involved in olfaction How do the hypothalamus and pituitary gland work together? - Correct Answer ✅ the hormones of the pituitary help regulate functions of
other endocrine glands. the hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary to release or inhibit pituitary hormones. Skeletal Muscle Cells - Correct Answer ✅ -Longest type of muscle cell -Length is greater than width -Look like "fibers" in a microscope (muscle cells/muscle fibers) -Multinucleated (more than one nucleus) What is the Fascia? - Correct Answer ✅ the membrane around entire muscle tissue What is a Fascicle? - Correct Answer ✅ a bundle of muscle fibers What is the Sarcolemma? - Correct Answer ✅ the membrane around one muscle fiber What is a Myofibril? - Correct Answer ✅ Many of these units make up a single muscle fiber. These are made up of sarcomeres. Skeletal Muscle Cells consist of two muscle proteins - Correct Answer ✅ Myosin (A bands): Thick and dark protein
