List of Flashcards15 flashcards
- Card 1HintThink "fast communication." What part of the nervous system is this?Memory TipWhite pathways, fast signals
- Card 2HintThink about the location of neuron bodies and the type of signals processed in this part. What's its function?Memory TipGray matter, processing info, reflexes
- Card 3HintThink 'back' of the spinal cord. What kind of information does it process?Memory TipPosterior, sensory input
- Card 4HintThink 'side' of spinal cord. What signals are in these pathways?Memory TipLateral, sensory/motor pathways
- Card 5HintThink 'incoming' sensory signals. Which direction does it carry?Memory TipSensory in from periphery
- Card 6HintSensory neurons. Where are they mainly located?Memory TipSensory ganglion, outside spinal cord
- Card 7HintThink 'outgoing' signals. Which kind of signals does it have?Memory TipMotor commands from the spinal cord
- Card 8HintThink 'motor' control and muscles. What does this section control?Memory TipAnterior, motor to muscles
- Card 9HintThink 'separation' of the halves. What does it do?Memory TipFissure, separates halves
- Card 10HintThink spinal cord communication. What does it use for this?Memory TipSpinal nerve, communication path
- Card 11HintThink "front" of the spinal cord. What kind of signals does it carry?Memory TipAnterior, motor pathways
- Card 12HintThink "fluid" filled channel. What function does it have in terms of spinal cord?Memory TipCentral canal, fluid circulation
- Card 13HintThink 'connecting' sides. What does this structure do?Memory TipCommissure, connecting sides
- Card 14HintThink dividing the posterior half. What function does it have?Memory TipSulcus divides posterior
- Card 15HintThink 'back' of spinal cord. What types of senses does it carry?Memory TipPosterior, touch/body position
