Questions and Answers

Question 2: What is the role of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)?

  • Carry signals from the brain to muscles for movement.
  • Prepare the body for stress, increasing heart rate, and redirecting blood flow. (correct)
  • Release neurotransmitters to pass signals to the next neuron or muscle.
  • Transmit information from the senses to the brain.

    • Question 1: What is the function of the Central Nervous System (CNS)?

    Study Notes

    Nervous System

    • The Central Nervous System (CNS) controls and integrates sensory information, interprets it, and responds accordingly.
    • The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) regulates involuntary actions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion.

    Neuron Structure and Function

    • The dendrites of a neuron process incoming signals.

    Reflex Arc

    • The receptor is the first component of a reflex arc that senses the stimulus.

    Anatomy of the Ear

    • The pinna, auditory canal, eustachian tube, cochlea, and vestibule are structures of the ear.
    • The incus is a structure of the middle ear, NOT of the inner ear.

    Senses

    • Gustation is the scientific term for the sense of taste.
    • Nociceptors are responsible for detecting painful stimuli.

    Eye Structure and Function

    • The iris is the structure that controls the size of the pupil.

    Auditory System

    • The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the throat and helps to regulate air pressure.

    Nervous System Divisions

    • The Motor (Efferent) Division carries signals from the brain to muscles for movement.

    Meninges

    • The order of the meninges from deep to most superficial is: pia mater, arachnoid mater, and dura mater.

    Cranial Nerves

    • The facial nerve (Cranial Nerve VII) is responsible for the sense of taste.
