NERVOUS and ENDOCRINE SYSTEMS TEST PREVIEW 1. VOCABULARY tolerance effector reflex neurotransmitter synapse addiction stimulus narcotic depressant hallucinogen myelinated axon neuron dendrite receptor myelin sheath threshold level negative feedback positive feedback cell body axon refractory period unmyelinated axon sodium-potassium pump one messenger model two messenger model stimulant withdrawal reflex arc motor neuron interneuron sensory neuron protein-type hormone steroid hormone 2. What’s the function of the nervous and endocrine systems? 3. What part of a neuron receives impulses and carries it to the cell body? Which part carries impulses away from the cell body? 4. What is the difference between intensity and strength of a nerve impulse? 5. What determines the rate of an impulse? 6. What is the pathway of an impulse from stimulus to response? 7. Explain the difference between an axon in the resting state vs. transmitting an impulse. 8. As an impulse travels down an axon, what happens to Na+ ions and K+ ions? 9. What are the different kinds of drugs and how does each affect the nervous system? 10. Which type of drug inhibits transmission of sensory impulses at a synapse? 11. What are the 3 main parts of the brain and what does each part control? 12. How does alcohol act on the brain? 13. How does a nerve impulse travel from one neuron to the next? 14. How does a nerve impulse travel through a single neuron? 15. What does the central nervous system include? 16. What does the peripheral nervous include? 17. Explain what happens during a reflex arc (pathway that an impulse travels). 18. What are the different types of skin sense receptors and how are they alike/different? 19. What nervous system helps the body deal with emergencies? “Fight or flight” response? 20. What are the 3 types of neurons and how do they differ? 21. What happens during a refractory period? 22. What does it mean when a neuron is polarized? Depolarized? 23. What are the 10 endocrine glands and what is the overall function of endocrine glands? 24. What are hormones and what do they do? Explain how they work. 25. What is a target tissue (target cell)? 26. What’s the difference between the one messenger model and the two messenger model? 27. How do insulin/glucagon, TSH/thyroxine, and ADH specifically work? What controls the secretion of these hormones? What type of feedback is this? 28. What do the pancreas, adrenal, pituitary, and thyroid glands specifically secrete and why? 29. How does positive feedback work? Negative feedback? Give a specific example for each. 30. What is the difference between white matter and gray matter? Where can you find each? 31. How do the hormones released by endocrine glands reach their target tissue?
