With motor neurons? - afferent = sensory information move toward the brain and spinal cord -efferent= information is taken away from the brain and spinal Cord 3 what is function of interneurons? - contact nearby neurons in brain, spinal cord or ganglion 4 what are subdivisions of the PNS? - the subdivisions of the PNS are somatic nervous system, autonomic nervous system and enteric nervous
In other words, neurotransmitters are the messages that nerve cells send out, and they cross the gaps between each of the cells. When released by the sending neuron, neurotransmitters travel across the synapse and neuron. Therefore, they influence whether that neuron will generate a neural impulse or not. B) An agonist mimics neurotransmitters functions by binding to receptor sites and stimulating the sending neuron. C) An antagonist does the opposite of agonist.
What are the components of the ANS (long) neural reflexes? The components of the ANS (long) neural reflexes include a CNS control center in the spinal cord and the brain. b. What is the stimulus for ANS regulation? Distention for many involuntary digestive movements.
Where do they come from? What are glycoproteins and proteoglycans? What is fibronectin and what is its function? What are the roles of the extracellular matrix? What are plasmodesmata?
The lateral nucleus is concerned with detecting the direction from which the sound is coming, presumably by simply comparing the difference in intensities of the sound reaching the two ears and sending an appropriate signal to the auditory cortex to estimate the direction. The medial superior olivary nucleus, however, has a specific mechanism for detecting the time lag between acoustical signals entering the two ears. This nucleus contains large numbers of neurons that have two major dendrites, one projecting to the right and the other to the left. The acoustical signal from the right ear impinges on the right dendrite, and the signal from the left ear impinges on the left dendrite.The intensity of excitation of each neuron is highly sensitive to a specific time lag between the two acoustical signals from the two ears.The neurons near one border of the nucleus respond maximally to a short time lag, while those near the opposite border respond to a long time lag; those in between respond to intermediate time lags. Thus, a spatial pattern of neuronal stimulation develops in the medial superior olivary nucleus, with sound from directly in front of the head stimulating one set of olivary neurons maximally and sounds from different side angles stimulating other sets of neurons on opposite sides.
Vision, Senses, and Motor Control Worksheet PSY/340 Version 3 1 University of Phoenix Material Vision, Senses, and Motor Control Worksheet Label the different sections by filling in the blanks on the visual cortex diagram, and answer the following questions in a minimum of 50 words each. 1. What are the functions in visual processing of each of the major structures identified on the diagram? Include a brief summary of each function in your response. 1.
The hippocampus on the other side is responsible for the production of corticosteroids (chemicals that produce physiological responses to stimuli). How the mind creates memories is controlled by the hippocampus. So as to work efficiently, the amygdala and the hippocampus rely on each other greatly. The amygdala regulates the responses to stimuli and the hippocampus uses these responses in the formation of both short-term and long-term memories. Damage to the amygdala or hippocampus causes loss of emotions and memory respectively.
Schwann cells – (PNS myelin) Myelinating Schwann cells wrap around axons of motor and sensory neurons to form the myelin sheath. the conduction of nervous impulses along axons, nerve development and regeneration, trophic support for neurons, production of the nerve extracellular matrix, modulation of neuromuscular synaptic activity, and presentation of antigens to T-lymphocytes. |. Oligodendrocytes - (CNS myelin) their main function is the insulation of axons in the CNS. * Satellite oligodendrocytes are functionally distinct from most oligodendrocytes.

• Sensory organs function as receptors and receive the stimuli, then it sends nerve impulses to the related effectors. 3. How does the brain use the senses to search/find stimuli in the environment? • Stimuli from the environment are transformed into neural signals which are then interpreted
