Nervous Physiology

The document provides an overview of the nervous system including neuroglial cells and their functions, the organization and pathways of the nervous system involving afferent and efferent fibers, different nervous tissue cells such as neurons and glia, and the roles of myelination and gray and white matter in nerve signal conduction. It includes figures and tables to label the different cell types as well as exercises to test understanding of nervous system concepts through matching, labeling, and fill-in-the-blank questions.

II. ORGANIZATION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Direction. Fill in the blanks with the correct term chosen from the following:

Efferent Motor Peripheral


Effectors Afferent Receptors

If you touch a hot stove with your hand, the sensory in your hand send
a signal of pain in the CNS through the nerve fibers of the
nervous system. When the information reaches the CNS and is
processed, a(n) response is sent through the
nerve fibers of the PNS system to skeletal muscles that are .

Gray matter Unmyelinated Fibers


White matter Nodes of Ranvier
Myelinated Fibers

1. Contain myelinated fibers


2. Contain neuron cell bodies and unmyelinated fibers
3. Nerve fibers that are white in color and conduct nerve impulses faster
4. Nerve fibers that are gray in color
