Are axons most located and protected within the CNS?
axons
What protects the CNS?
the cerebrospinal fluid and the meninges protects the CNS(central nervous system)
What are the three types of neuron?
Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS
Which neuron delivers sensations to the cns?
Afferent neurons receive and transmit impulses to the CNS.
Does the nervous system and the CNS mean the same thing?
CNS is an acronym for Central Nervous System, thus they are the same thing.
What is the drug classifcation for alcohol?
CNS depressant/sedative
Is alcohol a seditive?
Yes Alcohol is a CNS depressant, therefore it has anxiolytic, sedative/hypnotic, amnestic, and anesthetic effects.
Is codeine a hallucinogen or depressant?
Codeine is a depressant opiate. It depresses the Central Nervous System (CNS). Codeine is a pro-drug. It converts to morphine in the body.
What type of drug is alcohol and what does that type of drug do to the body?
Alcohol is a central nervous system [ CNS ] depressant. It depresses your respiration , heart rate and reaction time.
What is dichloralphenazone?
Dichloralphenazone is a general sedative-hypnotic that slows central nervous system (CNS) function, causing relaxation and pain relief.
What is the Drug that depresses central nervous system and causes sleep?
In the literal sense, a narcotic. However, that term has come to be used more broadly to refer to all mood-altering substances without regard to accuracy. Therefore, Central Nervous System (CNS) depressant is used by most professionals, with "soporific" for drugs that tend to produce sleep as a major effect.
What does dichloralphenazone do?
Dichloralphenazone is a general sedative that slows down central nervous system (CNS) function, causing relaxation and minor pain relief.
Does alcohol stimulate the central nervous system?
No. the consumption of alcohol slows the functioning of the CNS. That's what it means to say that alcohol is a depressant. It slows of depresses the functioning of the body although it can elevate the mood.
Is Klonopin a MAOI?
No. MAOI is a type of 1st generation anti-depressent, been mostly replaced by SSRI. Klonopin is a benzodiazepine, which depresses the CNS and is also used for panic attacks. Hope this helped!
Ethanol is a mood altering drug?
Ethanol is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant, meaning it depresses (decreases) the function of the brain and spinal cord. It is considered to be "mood-altering" in that the consequences of CNS depression include reduction of inhibitions and anxiety.
What is a group of drugs that depresses the activities of the central nervous system?
Barbiturates. Also, benzodiazepines, when administered in significant dosages.
Is ethanol a stimulant or depressant?
Depressant. Ethanol depresses the central nervous system (CNS) via the reticular activating systems by interfering with ion transport at the cell membrane and interacting with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA ) receptors.
