what is the central nervous system
detects and responds to changes inside and outside the body. also maintains homeostatis
1 of 96
consists of
brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves
2 of 96

brain and spinal cord
3 of 96
peripheral nervous system consists of
cranial nerves and spinal nerves
4 of 96
what are the systems
somatic, autonomic, sympathic, and parasypathetic
5 of 96
Somantic nervous system is
Within our control, such as skeletal muscles
6 of 96
Autonomic nervous system is
out of our control, such as digestion. spilts in sympathetic and parasympathetic
7 of 96
sypathetic includes
fight or flight
8 of 96

10 of 96
what is the travel of dirextion
from dendrites to axon terminal

thalamus and hypothalamus
16 of 96
thalamus

19 of 96
pons
relay sensory info to cerebellum and thalamus, also subconcious somati and visceral motor centres. and centres to regualte breathing
20 of 96
medulla oblongata
relays sensory and motor input between other parts of brain and spinal cord. contains centres to maange heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing
21 of 96
what is meninges (3)
an additional layer to protect the brain, dura, arachnoid, and pia
22 of 96
dura
tough outer layer consisting of connective tissue
23 of 96
arachnoid
middle layer, the sub-arachnoid space (between arachnoid and pia) is filled with CSF
24 of 96
what is CSF
cerebrospinal fluid, protects the brain from injury. also carries o2, glucose and other nutrients, essential for brain function and also removes waste products
25 of 96
Pia
delicate inner layer, contain small blood vessels providing the brain with nutrients and O2
26 of 96
what are the 4 lobes on the brain

27 of 96
what are other brain areas
motor cortex, somatosensory cortex, brocas area, wernickes area, medulla oblongata, cerebellum
28 of 96
how does the brain form
forms a groove, then a tube, and opens at both ends, within the neural tue, stem cells generate 2 major classes. neurons and Glial
29 of 96
parkinsons disease is hat
the gradual degeneration of dopamine releasing neurones.
30 of 96
what happens to the body
a lack of control and coordination of muscle movement. fixed msucle tone, expressionless facial features, rigidity of voluntary muscles, shuffling gait and stooping posture, muscle tremor of extremities
31 of 96
onset age?
45 to 60. progressive physical disability, but not intellect impaired
32 of 96
motor neuron disease, common in and is the
men over 50 , and is the chronic progressive degeneration of motor neurons
33 of 96
what motor neurons are destoryed and replaced by?

hand weakness and hand twitching, legs are affected later
35 of 96
tumours, primary start in the
meninges and blood vessels
36 of 96
benign means and malignant means?
slow and rapid growth
37 of 96
signs
headache, vomiting and papilloedema
38 of 96
metatases in the brain come from
primary sites such as breast, lung and bone marrow
39 of 96
multiple sclerosis is
areas of demylinated white matter called plaques irregualrly is distributed throughout the brain and spinal cord
40 of 96
develops at
20 to 40
41 of 96
factors
environemnt ore adolensence, genetic , and immune
42 of 96
damage leads to
weakness of skeletal muscles and sometimes paralysis, lack of coordination and movement, disturbed sensation, incontinence and blurred/ double vision
43 of 96
there is a pattern of , varying in
relapse and remission, varying in duration
44 of 96
relapse causes
further loss of nervous tissues = progressive diease`
45 of 96
can be either
progressive or acute
46 of 96
raised ICP is caused by
increased colume in brain, cerebral blood vessel , blood and CSF
47 of 96
onset can be either
slow or rapid
48 of 96
characteristed by
bradycardia and hypertension, aslo hypoxia due to rise ion co2 levels, leading to further bradycardia and hypertension
49 of 96
causes of ICP
cerebral oedema, hydrocephalus, haemorrhage, haematoma, tumours
50 of 96
head injury caused by
impact or movement of the brain
51 of 96
sometimes there is no
outward sign of injury, or hours or days later
52 of 96
could lead to an incrase in ICP becuase
entry of microbes
53 of 96
cerebrovascular diseaseis called a
stroke
54 of 96
predisposing factors
hypertension, atheroma, smoking, and diabetes mellitus
55 of 96
blood flow to the brain is
suddenly interrupted causing hypoxia, paralysis to one side of the body, disturbances in speech and vison, depends on size and location

45cm and 1cm
69 of 96
the spinal cord is made up of
grey matter surrounded by white matter
70 of 96
receptors in the skin send ino to
the spinal cord via spinal nerves.
71 of 96

dorsal root ganglion
72 of 96
reflex arc in order
receptor, sensory neuron, control centre, motor neron, effector
73 of 96
sensory somatic nervous system is made up if how many spinal and cranial nerves
31 pairs and 12 pairs
74 of 96
what are the 5 sets of nerves in the sensory somatic system
8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral 1 coccygeal
75 of 96
spinal nerves leave the vetebral canal by
passing through invertebral foramen, small opening on each vertebra
76 of 96
after emerging from the foramen they divide in
branches called rami
77 of 96
they form large masses of nerves called
plexuses, where they group together
78 of 96
what are the 5 plexuses
cervical, brcahial, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal
79 of 96
how many cranial nerves

the autonomic nervous system controls what muscles
smooth, cardiac,and also glands
93 of 96
divdes into and anables and restores
sympathetic and parasympathetic, balance of involunatry functions
94 of 96
Fight or flight reponse
sympathetic - BP increase, pupils dialtes, digestion slows
95 of 96
Rest and digest
Parasympathetic - BP increases, digestion starts and heart beat slows
