QUIZ 2 (NERVOUS SYSTEM)

Name: Andoloy, Hetty Joy M.

TEST I. IDENTIFICATION

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM 1. It is a structural classification of nervous system that acts as integrating and command
center – interpret incoming sensory information and issue instructions incoming sensory information and issue
instructions based on past experiences and current conditions.
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM 2. It is a structural classification of nervous system that links all parts of the body by
carrying impulses to the central nervous system and back.
ASTROCYTES 3. It is an abundant, star-shaped cell that forms barrier between capillaries and neurons and make
exchanges between the two.
MICROGLIA 4. It is a spider-like phagocyte that disposes debris, dead cells and bacteria.
MEDULLA OBLONGATA 5. It is considered as the major respiratory center of the brain.
OLIGODENDROCYTES 6. It is a cell that produces myelin sheath around nerve fibers in the central nervous system.
SCHWANN CELLS 7. It is a cell that forms myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system.
PONS 8. It is known as the apneustic center of the brain.
EFFERENT NERVES 9. It is an extension on the outside of the cell that conducts impulses away from the cell body.
SYNAPTIC CLEFT 10. It is known as the gap between adjacent neurons.
ACETYLCHOLINE 11. It is the major neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system.
GRAY MATTER 12. It is the outermost layer of the brain that composed mostly of neuron bodies.
HYPOTHALAMUS 13. Important autonomic nervous system center
HYPOTHALAMUS 14. It is an important autonomic nervous system center that helps regulate body temperature,
controls water balance, and regulates metabolism.
HYPOTHALAMUS 15. It is an important part of the limbic system necessary for emotions or emotional-visceral brain.

AQUEOOUS HUMOR 6. It is a watery fluid found in chamber between the lens and cornea that helps maintain
intraocular pressure.
