Anatomy 2/24 Chapters 11 and 13

Iliacus + psoas muscle = iliopsoas muscle

-control and adjusts activities of other systems of the body -chemical communication with targeted tissue -response is quick and brief -response disappears quickly -response modifies activities of other systems

Nervous System -fast response, disappears quicklyEndocrine System -slow response, extended response

-brain and spinal cord-functions: -processing -integration -coordinating sensory data and motor commands -higher function

-neural tissue outside of CNS-functions: -sensory information to CNS -motor information from CNS -sensory=afferent -motor=efferent

-cell body and all of its processes -dendrites, cell body, axon, synaptic terminals

Soma

Cytoplasm surrounding nucleus

Nissl bodies

Nerve fiber

Connects initial segment of axon with cell body axoplasm

1. bipolar neuron2. unipolar neuron3. multipolar neuron

Very few in the body (special senses such as hearing, vision, and balance)

Sensory cells that are found in what is known as the dorsal root ganglion

Most common
