Study Notes
Nervous System Structures and Functions
- Frontal Lobe: Key role in personality development and emotional expression.
- Hamstrings: Includes biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus muscles.
- Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF): Circulates around the CNS in the subarachnoid space, formed by the choroid plexus; typically does not contain blood.
- Myelination: Increases the speed of nerve impulses along the axon.
- Abdominal Muscles: Include rectus, transversus, internal oblique, and external oblique muscles.
- Corpus Callosum: Connects the right and left cerebral hemispheres.
- Neuromuscular Junction: Acetylcholine binds to nicotinic receptors on the muscle membrane.
- Cerebrum: Composed of frontal, temporal, occipital, and parietal lobes.
- Convolutions (Gyri): Fold-like elevations on the cerebrum's surface.
- Tendons: Attach muscles to bone.
- Sarcoplasmic Reticulum: Stores calcium in relaxed skeletal muscle.
- Latissimus Dorsi: Muscle located on the posterior body.
- Sternocleidomastoid: Muscle that rotates the head down and to the left or right, and also moves the head down and to the left or right.
- Brainstem: Composed of midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
- Creatine Phosphate: Elevated blood levels indicate muscle damage.
Other Anatomical Structures and Functions
- Subarachnoid Space: Contains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
- Corpus Callosum: Connects the right and left cerebral hemispheres.
- Zygomaticus: Known as the "smiling muscle".
- Foramen Magnum: Passage through which the medulla oblongata descends into the vertebral cavity.
- Neuron: Conduct nerve impulses.
- Acetylcholine: Released by somatic motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction.
- Mastication Muscles: Insert into the mandible.
- Medulla Oblongata: An infratentorial structure, sensitive to opioids, located within the brainstem.
- Meninges: Protective layers that surround the brain and spinal cord.
- Diaphragm: Chief breathing muscle, separating the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
- Myelin: Makes white matter white in color.
- Axon Terminals: Store neurotransmitters.
- Levator Palpebrae Superioris: Raises the eyelids.
