Anatomy of the Nervous System Structure of the Vertebrate Nervous System • Neuroanatomy is the anatomy of the nervous system. • Refers to the study of the various parts of the nervous system and their respective function(s). • The nervous system consists of many substructures‚ each comprised of many neurons. Structure of the Vertebrate Nervous System • Terms used to describe location when referring to the nervous system include: – Ventral: toward the stomach – Dorsal: toward the back –

BIOLOGY 2113 Unit IV Review Guide Chapters 13-17 Chapter 13 – True or False 1. The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and nerves. 2. The afferent nervous system consists of all outgoing motor pathways. 4. Ependymal cells engulf and destroy microbes and cellular debris in inflamed or degenerating brain tissue. 5. Oligodendrocytes form myelin sheaths around nerve fibers in the CNS. 6. Nerve fibers with many Schwann cells forming a thick myelin sheath are called myelinated fibers

Continuous quality improvement (CQI) is the responsibility of all nurses and is vital when addressing the challenges of the health care industry. Provide an example of how you would apply CQI in your current or past position. The purpose of QI is to use a systematic‚ data-guided approach to improve processes or outcomes (Conner‚ 2014). Principles and strategies involved in QI have evolved from organizational philosophies of total quality management and continuous quality improvement. Connor (2014)

Premium Peripheral nervous system Nervous system Nerve
a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons that transmit signals between different parts of the body. Animals with backbones and spinal columns have a central and a peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system is made up of the brain‚ spinal cord and retina. The peripheral nervous system consists of sensory neurons‚ ganglia and nerves that connect to one another and to the central nervous system.

10/21/14 Nervous system: one of the eleven major body organ systems in animals; coordinates and controls actions of internal organs and body systems; receives and processes sensory information from external environment; coordinated short-term reactions to these stimuli. Cell body: the part that contains the nucleus and most of the cytoplasm and the organelles. Axon: sends messages away from the cell body to other neurons. Dendrite: short‚ highly branched fibers that carry signals toward the cell

The brain does most of the information processing‚ storing‚ thinking and remembering. c. What parts of your nervous system allowed you to move your muscles to write the answer? What did those parts do? Somatic nervous system: this portion of the peripheral nervous system carries messages to and from the sense organs‚ skin‚ and muscles. The somatic nervous system controls most of your muscles and sends signals from senses‚ such as touch and doing something like typing. When you think of something to
