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.
