Topics of this game:
- What is NOT a general function of the central nervous system (CNS)?
- True or False: The peripheral nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord.
- Which of the following is NOT an effector of the autonomic nervous system?
- The central nervous system is comprised of the brain and ______?
- The______of a neuron carries the impulse towards the nucleus.
- Which part of a neuron is directly involved with protein synthesis?
- The space between a neuron is called a _______?
- The PNS sends nerve impulses the CNS via ________.
- Which is NOT a part of the PNS?
- What is a cell whose function is to sense changes and transmit impulses along nerve fibers called?
- True or false: Afferent fibers are to sensory receptors as efferent fibers are to motor function.
- A nerve cell is comprised of ______.
- What are the special components of a nerve cell body?
- What is NOT true of dendrites?
- True or False: Oligodendrocytes provide myelin in the PNS.
- What is the purpose of myelin?
- What is the structural shape of the encircled nerve cell?
- The protective layer between the skull/spine and the CNS is the _______.
- What functional type of nerve cells are mostly unipolar in shape?
- What is the function of interneurons?
- What is NOT a function of neuroglia?
- What type of Neuroglia reside within the PNS?
- Which type of neuroglia contains neurilemma and what is it's function?
- List the layers of the meninges from the inside to the outside layer:
- _______ separates the vertebrae from the dura mater.
- ________ is the space between the arachnoid and pia mater.
- What is NOT true of Cerebrospinal fluid?
- True or false: CSF is circulated via ependymal cells.
- ______ is/are the largest ventricle(s) and is(are) where most CSF begins.
- CSF originates from _______.
- What is the function of the CSF?
- Order the circulation of CSF from beginning to end: 1) 3rd ventricle 2) cerebral aqueduct 3) 4th ventricle 4) central canal and subarachnoid space 5) lateral ventricles 6) absorbed into blood
- True or false: An interruption of CSF circulation leads to decreased intracranial pressure, which leads to an increase in blood flow and brain injury causing hydrocephalus.
- Why is a spinal tap done below L2?
- What does the prosencephalon (forebrain) develop into as the neural tube grows?
- True or false: The brain is made up of one hundred million multipolar neurons
- What is structure A?
- What is structure B?
- What is structure C?
- What is structure H?
- What is the name of this structure?
- What is structure D?
- What is structure E?
- What is the name of this entire structure pictured here?
- True or false: The autonomic nervous system is voluntary.
- Which of these has the fastest impulse speed?
- Which of the following statements is NOT true?
- What type of neuroglia increase when there is injury?
- What type of neuroglia lines ventricles of the brain and central canal of spinal cord and circulate CSF?
- What is NOT true of nerves and nerve fibers?
- What is NOT true of nerve regeneration in the PNS?
- Sort the structures from smallest to largest: 1) Axon 2) Nerve 3) Fascicle
- What does a somatic efferent nerve do?
- True or False: The cerebrum is connected by falx cerebri and separated by corpus callosum
- How many spinal cord segments are there?
- Which is NOT a general function of the spinal cord?
- A _______ is an automatic, involuntary, predictable subconscious response.
- What part of the autonomic nervous system prepares the body for stressful, emergency situations?
- What is NOT true of dermatomes?
- Which letter is the posterior median sulcus?
- Where is the conus medullaris located?
- Where is the gray commissure located?
- Where is the lateral grey horn located?
- Where is the anterior median fissure located?
- Where is the central canal located?
- Name the blue structure.
- What is the location of the ventral root?
- True or false: The dorsal ramus supplies posterior muscle and skin, and the ventral ramus goes to supply muscle and skin anteriorly and laterally.
- Order these nervous structures from most median to most lateral: Branch, Root, Plexus
- What is NOT true of plexuses: 1) Each nerve in a plexus contains all fibers that innervate a certain region 2) Only in thoracic region 3) Fibers from different rami join to form individual nerves
- Where is Broca's area located?
- What is the location of the primary somatosensory cortex (postcentral gyrus)?
- What is the location of the primary motor cortex (precentral gyrus)?
- What is the location of the visual area?
- What is the location of the auditory area?
- What is NOT true of association areas of the brain?
- What is the location of the optic chiasma?
- What is the location of the infundibulum?
- What is the location of the hypothalamus?
- What is the location of the pituitary gland?
- What is the location of the pineal gland?
- What is NOT true of the limbic system?
- True or false: The reticular formation is found in the brainstem and is responsible for consciousness.
- What is the main difference between white matter and grey matter in the brain?
