natural opiates, decrease pain, runner's high
endorphins
types of neurons
sensory
motor
interneurons
neuron that receives info from the external world
sensory
neuron that carries signals from the spinal cord to the muscles to produce movement
motor
neurons that connect sensory and motor neurons and other interneurons
interneurons
the sequence of neurons firing in a simple reflex
sensory >>> interneuron >>> motor
SIM
the sequence of a simple reflex
The nervous system (2 parts)
PNS
CNS
PNS
peripheral nervous system
CNS
central nervous system
the central nervous system is composed of
brain
spinal cord
this connects the pripheral nervous system to the brain and its spinal reflexes mediate sensory inputs and motor neurons
spinal cord
common betweein brain and spoinal cord
interneurons
brainstem composed of
medulla
pons
thalamus
reticular formation
this controls breathing and heartbeat
medulla
this controls sleep cycles and respiration
pons
this gets all the info from all senses, sorts and sends off to other parts of the cortex
thalamus
what sense does the thalamus not receive
smell
this is responsible for alterness, sleep-wake cycles
reticular formation
damage to the reticular formation results in
coma
chronic vegetative state
necessary for balance, equilibriul
cerebellum
movement memory
cerebellum
controls muscle tone
cerebellum
damage to cerebellum results in
jerky, exaggerated movement; different from parkinson's
alcohol influences what part of the brain
cerebellum
central nerous system composed of
brain
spinal cord
this connects the peripheral nervous system to the brain and its spinal reflexes mediate sensory inputs and motor neurons
spinal cord
brain and spinal cord commonality
interneurons
brainstem composed of
medulla
pons
