Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

23 notecards = 6 pages (4 cards per page)

Viewing:

Nervous System Part 1

front 1

Central Nervous System

back 1

One of two major branches of the nervous system. Main organs: Brain and Spinal Cord

front 2

Peripheral Nervous System

back 2

One of two major branches of the nervous system. Main organs: sensory receptors and ganglia

front 3

Somatic Nervous System

back 3

Part of the peripheral nervous system. Things you consciously control

front 4

Autonomic Nervous System

back 4

Part of the peripheral nervous system. Things that are involuntary

front 5

Sympathetic nervous system

back 5

Part of the autonomic nervous system. Fight or flight mode. Uses adrenaline

front 6

Parasympathetic nervous system

back 6

Part of the autonomic nervous system. Rest and digest

front 7

Cerebrospinal Fluid

back 7

A layer of protection of the nervous system. Liquid that acts like a cushion. Made in the ventricles

front 8

Meninges

back 8

A layer of protection of the nervous system. Membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. Three types.

front 9

Bone

back 9

A layer of protection of the nervous system.

front 10

Dura Mater

back 10

The outermost meninge. Tough mother

front 11

Arachnoid

back 11

The middle meninge. Looks like a spider web

front 12

Pia mater

back 12

The innermost meninge. Delicate mother. The layer that is actually on the surface of the brain and spinal cord.

front 13

Neuron

back 13

Nerve cell.

front 14

Neuroglial cells

back 14

Support cells that make up 90% of the brain and spinal cord.

front 15

Axon

back 15

The tail of a neuron. It carries an impulse away from the cell body.

front 16

Dendrite

back 16

The parts of the neuron that brings information to the cell body. Neurons have multiple dendrites.

front 17

Cell body

back 17

The major part of the neuron that does the processing. It can't divide.

front 18

Schwann cells

back 18

Neuroglial cells that wrap around the axon. This allows for saltatory conduction

front 19

Node of Ranvier

back 19

The gap between schwann cells on a myelinated neuron.

front 20

Saltatory Conduction

back 20

The process where an impulse jumps from one node of ranvier to the other to send an impulse quickly

front 21

Myelinated fibers

back 21

Neurons that have schwann cells. White matter of the brain

front 22

Unmyelinated fibers

back 22

Neurons that lack schwann cells. Gray matter of the brain.

front 23

The functions of the nervous system

back 23

Sensory, Integrative, and Motor
