Starting Reproduction

I didn't know I was pregnant



Nervous system learning outcomes:
-          Identify and give functions for: dendrite, cell body, axon
-          Differentiate among sensory, motor and interneurons with respect to structure and function
-          Explain the transmission of a nerve impulse through a neuron, using the following terms:
o   Resting and action potential
o   Depolarization and repolarization
o   Refractory period
o   Sodium and potassium pump
o   Threshold value
-          Relate the structure of a myelinated nerve fibre to the speed of impulse conduction with reference to myelin sheath, Schwann cell, node of Ranvier
-          Identify the major components of a synapse, including
o   Synaptic ending
o   Presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes
o   Synaptic cleft
o   Synaptic vesicle
o   Calcium ions
o   Neurotransmitters
o   receptor
o   enzymes (ex. Acetylcholinesterase)
-          explain the process by which impulses travel across a synapse
-          describe the structure of a reflex arc
-          compare the locations and functions of the central and peripheral nervous systems
-          identify and give functions for each of the following parts of the brain
o   medulla oblongata
o   cerebrum
o   thalamus
o   cerebellum
o   hypothalamus
o   pituitary gland
o   corpus callosum
o   meninges
-          explain how the hypothalamus and pituitary gland interact as the neuroendocrine control center
-          differentiate between the autonomic and somatic nervous systems
-          differentiate between the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic system

o   with reference to effect on body functions including heart rate, breathing rate, pupil size, digestion and overall response (“fight or flight” versus “rest and digest”)
