Name the phases or steps of the relationship function
Stimulus, receptors, processing systems, effectors and response
Say the three parts in which of a neuron is divided
Neuronal body, axon and telodendria
Define what a neuron is
A neuron is the anatomical and functional unit of the nervous system. It is specialised in transmiting the nervous impulse.
In which part of the neuron can we find the nodes os ranvier and the myelin sheats?
In the axon
In which part of the neuron can we find the synaptic buttons and the neurotransmitters
In the telodendria
Define what synapse is
The process by which the neurotransmitters of the presynaptic neuron pass to the postsynaptic neuron to transmit the nervous impulse.
The substance that insulates and allows the transmission of the electrical impulse without interference is
Myelin
The central nervous system is formed by
The brain and the spinal cord
The part of the brain in charge of equilibrium and balance is
The cerebellum
The part of the brain that allows you to read is
The cerebrum
In the second part of the brain there are 4 glands called
Thalamus, hypothalamus, hypophysis (or pituitary gland) and pineal gland
The peripheral nervous system is divided into two parts that are
somatic and autonomic nervous system
The autonomic system that is activated in a stressful situation is
sympathetic nervous system
Name the two parts and the four lobes of the cerebrum
Left and right hemisphere and frontal, occipital, temporal and parietal lobes
Name the substances and structures that protect the components of the central nervous system
Skull, vertebral column, meninges and cerebrospinal fluid
Describe what a nerve is
set of fibres formed ty the axons of neurons
