  • What does the nervous system consist off?
    The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
  • What does the peripheral nervous system consist of?
    1. sensory motor
    2. motor division
    3. somatic nervous system
    4. autonomic nervous system
  • What are neutrons?
    send signals
  • What the major cells in the nervous system?
    1. Neutron
    2. ependymal
    3. astrocyte
    4. microgila
    5. oligodendrocyte
  • What does astrocyte cells do in the nervous system?
    Exachange materials between neutrons and capillaries
  • What does microgila cells do in the nervous system?
    Microglia cells are responsible for immune defense and maintenance of brain homeostasis in the nervous system.
  • What does the ependymal cells?

    Ependymal cells line the ventricles of the brain and spinal cord and produce cerebrospinal fluid.
  • What does oligodendrocyes do in the nervous system?
    Oligodendrocytes produce myelin, which insulates and speeds up the transmission of electrical signals in the nervous system.
  • What are scheann cells?
    Schwann cells are a type of glial cell that provide support and insulation to neurons in the peripheral nervous system.
  • What is nervous system?
    System that controls signals in the body
  • what does the axon do in the nervous system?
    Transmits electrical signals.
  • What is the resting potential of the nervous system?
    -70 millivolts
  • What neutrons are outside the nervous system?
    Sodium postive
  • What neutrons inside the nervous system?
    Potassium negative
  • What is the process of action potential?
    1. Sodium enters, making the Na+ more positive thersehold at -55mv
    2. This DEPLORIZATION Na goes to -40mv
    3. Replorization starts when the voltage gated patassium enters
    4. Hyerploizations ka leaves the membrane becoming negative
    5. Resting potiental when ka and na at its resting potianial
  • action potential
    Diagram
  • What is refractory period in the nervous system?
    Recovery period Can’t respond to any stimulus in the process of nervous system
  • what are the types of channels?
    1. leak channels
    2. voltage gated channels
