Chapter 15, Problem 2ILQ
Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/nervsystem1) to learn more about the nervous system. As described in this video, the nervous system has a way to deal with threats and stress that is separate from the conscious control of the somatic nervous system. The system comes from a time when threats were about survival, but in the modern age, these responses become part of stress and anxiety. This video describes how the autonomic system is only part of the response to threats, or stressors. What other organ system gets involved, and what part of the brain coordinates the two systems for the entire response, including epinephrine (adrenaline) and cortisol?

Based on the video and as a dentistry student, for sure you have studied the Nervous System before taking this course. In your own opinion, what does it mean when we say the Nervous System is the “main control station” of the body?
Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/nervetissue3) to learn about how nervous tissue is composed of neurons and glial cells. Neurons are dynamic cells with the ability to make a vast number of connections, to respond incredibly quickly to stimuli, and to initiate movements on the basis of those stimuli. They are the focus of intense research because failures in physiology can lead to devastating illnesses. Why are neurons only found in animals? Based on what this article says about neuron function, why wouldn't they be helpful for plants or microorganisms?
Classify the following characteristics to demonstrate your knowledge of differences between the autonomic and somatic divisions of
the nervous system.

- Figure 35.26 Which of the following statements is false? The parasympathetic pathway is responsible for relaxing the body, while the sympathetic pathway is responsible for preparing for an emergency. Most preganglionic neurons in the sympathetic pathway originate in the spinal cord. Slowing of the heartbeat is a parasympathetic response. Parasympathetic neurons are responsible for releasing norepinephrine on the target organ, while sympathetic neurons are responsible for releasing acetylcholine.arrow_forwardWatch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neuroexam2) for an introduction to the neurological exam. Studying the neurological exam can give insight into how structure and function in the nervous system are interdependent. This is a tool both in the clinic and in the classroom, but for different reasons. In the clinic, this is a powerful but simple tool to assess a patient’s neurological function. In the classroom, it is a different way to think about the nervous system. Though medical technology provides noninvasive imaging and real-time functional data, the presenter says these cannot replace the history at the core of the medical examination. What does history mean in the context of medical practice?arrow_forwardThe nervous system helps all parts of the body communicate with each other. It is made up of several sub-divisions with each subdivision havingstructural and functional characteristics that distinguish it from the others. Complete the diagram to show all the missing sections and explain their functions and where relevant their relationships to each other.arrow_forward
- Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/troublewstairs) to read about a woman that notices that her daughter is having trouble walking up the stairs. This leads to the discovery of a hereditary condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. The electromyography and MRI tests indicated deficiencies in the spinal cord and cerebellum, both of which are responsible for controlling coordinated movements. To what functional division of the nervous system would these structures belong?arrow_forwardYour nervous system is organized into two broad anatomical divisions: the central nervous system (consisting of the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Your PNS is further organized into two functional divisions. If you tap your knee, the signal to act is carried via your to the muscles in your knee. In contrast, the signals that pass via the are involuntary and act primarily to regulate your body's internal environment. This involuntary nerve system is further organized into three divisions. If you need a sudden burst of energy, your is activated to help you act quickly. In contrast, if you are relaxing and conserving energy, then it is your that is primarily in action. The third division is your which helps control the components of the digestive system.arrow_forwardThe nervous system has definitely homeostatic relationships with other body systems.

- Classify the following characteristics to demonstrate your knowledge of differences between the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic Nervous System Most ganglia lie close to the spinal cord and form two chains of ganglia-one on each side of the spinal cord Increases intestinal motility and stimulates intestinal secretion Postganglionic axons are generally short Preganglionic axons are generally short Postganglionic axons release NE that binds to adrenergic receptors located on the effectors Decreases heart rate, contractility, and conduction velocity Ganglia lie within, or very close to, innervated organs Decreases intestinal motility and inhibits intestinal secretion Long preganglionic axons release ACh that binds to nicotinic receptors located within the ganglia Neurons leave the CNS from the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord Parasympathetic Nervous System Generalized activation is called the fight-or-flight response…arrow_forwardDo a concept map on the divisions of the Nervous System by using ALL words below: Start with the Nervous System (black box) and then continue building the concept map.

Often, the action potentials occur sorapidly that watching a screen to see them occur is nothelpful. A speaker is powered by the signals recorded froma neuron and it “pops” each time the neuron fires an actionpotential. These action potentials are firing so fast that itsounds like static on the radio. Electrophysiologists canrecognize the patterns within that static to understand whatis happening. Why is the leech model used for measuringthe electrical activity of neurons instead of using humans?arrow_forward
