DC
A&P Lecture Exam #5 Study Guide

Divisions of
the nervous system—know what structures they are composed of,
what they control/regulate, etc. (CNS, PNS, ANS, SNS, receptors,
effectors, Sympathetics, Parasympathetics, etc.)

Define neuron

Parts of a
neuron and classifications of neurons (multipolor, unipolarn,
anaxonic, etc.)

Neuroglia—be
able to define neuroglia, know the functions of neuroglia, know the
types found in the CNS and PNS, know the functions of the types of
neuroglia (ependymal cells, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, etc.)

Myelin—know
the functions of myelin, know how it is made, be able to identify it
on an axon, what are the tiny “gaps” between nodes called?

White matter
vs Gray matter

Propagation of
Action Potentials—continuous conduction vs. salutatory
conduction

Synapses—presynaptic
vs postsynaptic, chemical vs. electrical synapses (which are more
common, least common, etc.?), cholinergic synapses—what is
released, what steps are involved in the arrival of an action
potential causing depolarization up to the release of
acetylcholinesterase (see page 101 of the orange notebook)?

Neurotransmitters—know
their names and effets/functions (i.e. what systems they act on, what
they cause, what diseases or effects they may be associated with if
concentrations of the neurotransmitter is high or low

EPSP vs
IPSP—see page 103 in the orange notebook; what
happens—depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization??; what
ions are associated with each (K+ or Na+)

Regions of the
brain and their functions—see page 107 in the orange notebook

Gyri vs. sulci

Ventricles of
the brain—know their locations

Cranial
meninges—know their locations

Dural
folds—know their locations and the structures they separate
(see pg. 108 in the orange notebook)

Functions of
CSF—know where it is produced
