| What are the six main functions of the nervous system? (think about PACLEM) | Perception, arousal, cognition, life-sustaining, emotion, movement |
| Which subcategories does perception entail? | somatosensory, visceral, and special senses |
| What are the 5 special senses? | visual, audio, taste, vestibular, and smell |
| What does somatosensory perception entail? (2 PTs) | Pain and temperature, proprioception and touch |
| What does visceral perception entail? (Hmmm... 3Ms) | Modulates (BP, HR) Monitors Motivates |
| What does cognition include? (L&M) | Learn and memory |
| What does movement functions include? (PIC) | Plan Initiate Coordinate |
| What functions are under the life-sustaining category? (have to stay alive to say HI) | Homeostasis Initiate |
| How to differentiate neurons in CNS and PNS | CNS: only synapse with neurons PNS: interacts with body/environment |
| Four parts of the CNS | Cerebrum, brainstem, cerebellum, spinal cord |
| Two parts of the forebrain | Cerebral hemispheres Diencephalon |
| 3 parts of the brainstem | Midbrain Pons Medulla |
| Key function of CNS? | Analysis and Integration |
| Two main parts of the PNS? | Somatic nervous system Autonomic nervouse system |
| Two parts of the somatic nervous system? | 1. sensory nerves and ganglia 2. motor nerves |
| The autonomic nervous system is also called: | Visceral nervous system |
| Two main division of the autonomic system? | 1. sympathetic 2. parasympathetic |
| For horizontal planes, ________ is used when referring to the brain while _______ is used when referring to the spinal cord. | Brain: horizontal plane Spinal cord: transverse plane |
| Name the 3 vesicles in the earlier stage of neural development | 1. Prosencephalon 2. Mesencephalon 3. Rhombencephalon |
| The Prosencephalon becomes _________ and ___________. Which in turn develops into ____________ and __________. | Telencephalon and diencephalon. Telencephalon develops into cerebral hemispheres. Diencephalon develops into thalamus and hypothalamus. |
| The two flexures in the 3 vesicle stage are ___________ (between _______ and _________) and ____________ (between ________ and _______ | Cephalic flexure (between mesencephalon and diencephalon) Cervical flexure (between rhombencephalon and SC) |
| T/F: the mesencephalon is the only vesicle that does not divide. | T. |
| The mesencephalon develops into _________. | The midbrain |
| The rhombencephalon develops into ________ (which becomes _______) and _________ (which becomes __________). | Metencenphalon (becomes pons) Mylencephalon (becomes medulla) |
| _______ flexure resolves as the embryo enters the 5 vesicle stage. | Cervical |
| The cephalic flexure migrates to between _________ and _________. | Between diencephalon and mesencephalon. |
| List the morphological classification of the neurons. | 1. Unipolar 2. Pseudo-unipolar 3. Bipolar 4. Multipolar |
| Where is the input zone of the neuron? | Dendrites |
| Where is the integrative zone of the neuron? | Axon hillock |
| Where is the conducting zone of a neuron? | Axon |
| What is the transmitting zone of the neuron? | Axon terminal |
| Where is the location of action potential regeneration on a neuron? | Nodes of Ranvier |
| Where are NTs released and taken up? | Release: pre-synaptic membrane Uptake: post-synaptic membrane |
| Types of synapse based on membrane | axodendritic axosomatic axoaxonic somosomatic dendrodendritic |
| Synaptic classification based on ways of transmission | Chemical synapse Electrical synapse |
| Synapse classification based on NTs | glutamatergic GABAergic cholinergic dopaminergic glycinergic serotonergic noradrenergic histaminergic |
| What are the qualifications for a chemical to be a neurotransmitter? | 1. made by presynaptic neuron 2. Ca2+ is required for release of NT 3. Post synaptic membrane has the receptor to bind with the NT |
| ________ makes the myelin sheath in CNS while _______ makes the myelin sheath in PNS. | CNS: oligodendrocytes PNS: Schwann cells |

| __________ cells are the supporting cells in PNS. | Satellite cells |
