Concept explainers
To explain:
The effect on sensation on the fingers, if a person had an accident that severed a small nerve required to move some of the fingers of the right hand.
Introduction:
Humans have elongated and bilaterally symmetrical body with specialized nervous system which consists of neurons axons bundles which together form the nerves and these nerves extend in the body and communicate with the cells of the body. The integration of neurons is included under the central nervous system and the travelling of information in and out of the central nervous system by neurons form peripheral nervous system. Spinal cord and brain together form central nervous system and in peripheral nervous system, ganglia and nerves act as key element.

- True or False do it?? The descending pathway that inhibits pain stimulates inhibitory interneurons in the spinal cord?arrow_forwardDRAW IT The reflex that pulls your hand away when you prickyour finger on a sharp object relies on a neuronal circuit withtwo synapses in the spinal cord. (a) Using a circle to represent across section of the spinal cord, draw the circuit. Label the typesof neurons, the direction of information flow in each, and thelocations of synapses. (b) Draw a simple diagram of the brainindicating where pain would eventually be perceived.arrow_forwardNeuroscience: Describe motor cortex maps and the effects of damage to the motor cortex Please provide pictures with your explanation. This should help me prepare for an upcoming exam. I need to understand what is going and I'm a visual person!!arrow_forward
- Bipolar neurons: Group of answer choices -are motor neurons -detect touch and vibration -are found in the head -have many axons During an earthquake, which type of sensory receptor would sense the fact that your body is shaking? Group of answer choices -Baroreceptors -Proprioceptors -Tactile receptors -Chemoreceptors Which of the following is not at least partially overseen by the brainstem? Group of answer choices -visceral motor functions -regulation of the heart -coordinating muscle movements to produce smooth movement -regulation of respiration Which of the following is an incorrect association of brain region and ventricle? In other words, which ventricle is not located in the respective brain region? Group of answer choices -third ventricle: midbrain -lateral ventricles: cerebral hemispheres -fourth ventricle: medulla oblongata -fourth ventricle: ponsarrow_forwardNeuroscience 1) Describe the role of brainstem nuclei in descending motor control 2) Describe the properties and organization of the primary motor cortex Please provide pictures with your explanation. This should help me prepare for an upcoming exam. I need to understand what is going and I'm a visual person!!arrow_forwardIf your shoes are too tight and causing pain which pathway is associated with this stimulus: Corticospinal pathway? Spinothalamic pathway? Dorsal column-medial lemniscal pathway? Descending pathway?arrow_forward
- 15. The diagram below illustrates the reflex pathway involved in the dilation (expansion) and contraction (shrinking) of pupils in the eye in response to changes in light intensity. Iris muscle οι οποίο Eye J K L M Neuron Y Optic nerve A person exits a darkened shopping centre and into high-intensity sunlight. Which of the following combinations correctly identifies neurons X and Y and the response to the change in light intensity? Neuron X Motor Sensory Motor Sensory Neuron X Brain Neuron Y Sensory Motor Sensory Motor Response Pupil dilates Pupil dilates Pupil contracts Pupil contactsarrow_forwardSuppose you suffer a cut through the spinal cord on the right side only. For the part of the body below that cut, will you lose pain sensation on the left side or the right side? Will you lose touch sensation on the left side or the right side?arrow_forwardCompared to a large stimulus, how would each variable below change in response to a smaller sensory stimulus? Calcium influx in the sensory cell [ Choose ] Neurotransmitter release [Choose ] Generator potential amplitude [Choose ) Action potential amplitude [Choose)arrow_forward
- 2. When touching the surface of a flask with water, the temperature of which is +40oC, with the bundles of fingers, a person first feels the smooth surface of the flask, and only then - heat. Explain the reasons for such a sequence of the formation of sensations. Name which pathways transmit information from the tactile, thermal receptors of the skin of the bundle of fingers to the sensory area of the cortex.arrow_forwardAction potential frequency in phasic receptors with a prolonged stimulus..... action potential frequency in tonic receptors with a prolonged stimulus. greater than less than equal toarrow_forwardNeuroscience Basal Ganglia and Cerebellum 1) Describe the basic anatomy of the basal ganglia and cerebellar circuits and theirrole in the refinement of movement 2) Know the basic anatomy of these structures and list the inputs to the basal ganglia Please provide pictures with your explanation.
