longitudinal fissure

central sulcus

separates frontal and parietal lobes

Pons

sleep and arousal

lateral ventricles

A set of paired ventricles lying within the cerebral hemispheres.

frontal lobe

The lobe at the front of the brain associated with movement, speech, and impulsive behavior.

Hypothalamus

regulating body temperature

Following an accident, J.J. realizes that he is unable to move his left leg. Which area of his brain is most likely affected?

The Right Frontal Lobe

Where are nodes found?

The nodes are found in between the myelin-covered internode.

The cerebellum; the cerebellum adjusts voluntary and involuntary motor activities.

What is this?

multipolar neuron

What type of neuron is this?

Vision; The occipital lobe processes visual information.

Which type of information is processed by the cerebral lobe?

Convergence, which occurs when multiple neurons feed into a single neuron.

Which type of neuronal pool is depicted here and what is its function

Which nucleus or portion of the brain is important in learning and in the storage of long-term memories?

hippocampus

Pia Mater; The pia mater is the innermost meningeal layer and is attached directly to the spinal cord.

what is this?

The brain and spinal cord comprise the

Central Nervous System (CNS)

Which of the following is TRUE regarding the spinal cord?

It forms a continuous connection with the brain

pariental lobe

Lobe located in the upper-back part of your head. Interprets pain, touch, and temperature, as well as some tastes and pressure on the skin

Cerebellum

Maintaining posture

Schwann cells

Oligodendrocytes are to CNS as ________ are to PNS.

Depolarization

Opening of voltage-gated sodium channels in the membrane of a neuron results in

What is the difference between saltatory and continuous propagation of nerve impulses?

Saltatory carries impulses at a faster rate than continuous propagation.

The entire spinal cord is divided into ________ segments.

31

1. Sodium enters the cell. 2. Cell is repolarized. 3. Voltage-gated sodium channels close as voltage-gated potassium channels open. 4. Cell is depolarized. 5. A stimulus arrives. 6. Potassium leaves the cell. 7. Voltage-gated sodium channels open

temporal lobe

A region of the cerebral cortex responsible for hearing and language.

A shift of positively charged ions into the cell is called

Depolarization

Which of the following structures is the most superficial?

Dura Mater

What do ependymal cells do?

Ependymal cells line the central canal and ventricles of the brain and produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Medulla

an extension of the spinal cord into the skull that coordinates heart rate, circulation, and respiration
