- - - - 3 main functions
        
        sensory
        
        function
        
        involves collecting information from sensory receptors that monitor the body's internal and external conditions.
        
        integration
        
        function
        
        processing of the many sensory signals that are passed into the CNS at any given time.
        
        motor
        
        function
        
        Once the networks of interneurons in the CNS evaluate sensory information and decide on an action, they stimulate efferent neurons
        
        Efferent neurons
        
        carry signals from the gray matter of the CNS through the nerves of the peripheral nervous system to effector cells
        
        effector
        
        releases a hormone or moves a part of the body to respond to the stimulus.
        
        The effector may be smooth, cardiac, or skeletal muscle tissue or glandular tissue.
      - Divisions of the Nervous System
        
        Peripheral Nervous System
        
        Somatic Nervous System
        
        Autonomic Nervous System
        
        Enteric Nervous System
    - - function
        
        is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment
    - - function
        
        body movement
        
        maintenance of posture/stabilty
        
        protection and support
        
        heat regulations
      - 3 types of muscle
        
        skeletal
        
        fibers
        
        parallel
        
        striated
        
        multinucleate
        
        connective tissue
        
        tendon
        
        muscle to bone
        
        aponeurosis
        
        fusion of three layers of a tendon sheet like
        
        cardiac
        
        fibers
        
        branching
        
        a little striated
        
        multinucleate
        
        smooth
        
        fibers
        
        spindal
        
        non striated
        
        uninucleate
      - tissue coverings
        
        epimysium
        
        covers the whole muscle
        
        perimysium
        
        covers the fascicle
        
        endomysium
        
        covers the muscle fibre
        
        actin
        
        thin filaments
        
        tropomyosin
        
        string like protein
        
        troponin
        
        1 more item...
        
        myosin
        
        thick filament
    - - function
        
        what allows us to breathe and exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen
      - organs
        
        lungs, which carry out this exchange of gases as we breathe.
      - types of reparation
        
        Aerobic Respiration
        
        “with air”
        
        Anaerobic Respiration.
        
        without air
  - - - Contraction period
        
        The duration of a muscle twitch when the muscle contracts or shortens in length
      - Latent period
        
        The duration of a muscle twitch when the muscle returns to its resting length
      - Relaxation period
        
        The duration of a muscle twitch when the muscle returns to its resting length
    - - Summation
        
        Increases the force of contraction by increasing the frequency of the stimulus of the muscle fibers
      - Tetanic contraction (tetanus)
        
        The sustained contraction that occurs when the frequency of stimulation is so rapid that there's no relaxation
      - Recruitment
        
        Increases the force of contraction by increasing the number of motor units stimulated.
  - - - binds to receptors on the outside of the muscle fiber.
      - causes muscles to contract,
      - activates pain responses and regulates endocrine and REM sleep functions.
  - - - oxins are one of the most lethal substances known.
      - oxins block nerve functions and can lead to respiratory and muscular paralysis.
    - - caused
        
        by the ingestion of one of the potent neurotoxins produced by C
- - - - dirty needle for his new tat
- - - - high daily calorie intake because of increased muscle activity.
    - - Some patients may need ventilator support to help with breathing if their vocal cords or respiratory muscles are affected.
