immune cells of the CNS, engulf micro organisms / debris _____________Quiz____________? ependymal cells -
line fluid filled spaces of brain and spinal cord, have cillia to circulate CSF, CNS _____________Quiz____________? oligodentrocytes -
support nerve fibres, ensheath them with myelin, CNS _____________Quiz____________? schwann cells -
info comes through receptors, afferent nerves, into CNS, integration/coordination, motor efferent (somatic or autonomic) _____________Quiz____________? somatic -
the stuff we are aware of and have control over _____________Quiz____________? somatic afferent -
sensory information of what we are aware of _____________Quiz____________? somatic efferent -
voluntary muscle control, 2 neurons between brain and effector, upper and lower motor neuron _____________Quiz____________? upper motor neuron -
cell body in brain, axon in spinal cord _____________Quiz____________? lower motor neuron -
cell body in spinal cord, axon in spinal nerve
_____________Quiz____________? neuro-muscular junction -
Where neuron releases neurotransmitters (ACh) that depolarize muscle fiber cells - > contraction _____________Quiz____________? autonomic -
involuntary control, 3 neurons between brain and effector, 2 divisions, sympathetic and parasympathetic _____________Quiz____________? autonomic neuron 1 -
cell body in brain, axon in brain or spinal cord (CNS) _____________Quiz____________? autonomic neuron 2 -
cell body in brain or spinal cord, axon in PNS , myelinated, neurotransmitter = ACh _____________Quiz____________? autonomic neuron 3 -

resting membrane potential -
resting membrane - depolarzation - activation of sodium ion channels - rapid depolarization - inactivation of sodium ion channels/activation of potassium ion channels- potassium ions channels close when very hyperpolarized - both shut and pump restores voltage _____________Quiz____________? threshold -
action potential must exceed axon hillock for it to be propagated, must exceed - 60mV (once threshold is exceeded it will continue to depolarize to +30mV before re polarization) _____________Quiz____________? synaptic transmission -
chemical binds to protein site (ACh) opening gates for protons to flow through chemically gated channels in NMJ _____________Quiz____________? graded depolarization -
chemical stimulus opens sodium ion channel, stimulus is removed and excess Na+ transported out of cytosol, chemical stimulus opens K+ ion channels, chemical stimulus removed
_____________Quiz____________? foramen magnum -
A large opening at the base of the skull through which the brain connects to the spinal cord _____________Quiz____________? spinal cord -
starts at foramen magnum, finished inferior to border of first lumbar vertebra (conus medularis) inside meningeal sack which fits inside spinal cavity, filum terminale anchors spinal cord _____________Quiz____________? conus medularis -
non neural cone shaped ending to the spinal cord _____________Quiz____________? filum terminale -
fibrous non neural tissue tethering spinal cord to end of spinal cavity _____________Quiz____________? coccygeal -
tail bone/where the filum terminale anchors
