Document Summary

Organization, gray matter mostly cell bodies/dendrites (specific cells group) The spinal cord: dorsal horn, interneurons and sensory neurons axons, intermediate zone (gray, interneurons, ventral horn, motor neurons, white matter mostly axons, ascending and descending tracts. 3 primary functions of the s. c: sensory processing and integration, motor output, any output form the s. c. that is going to go to the muscles, autonomic output. Autonomic output 3rd major function of the s. c: autonomic nervous system, sympathetic fight or flight, parasympathetic homeostasis, enteric controls smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. Central pattern generators (cpgs) (g. i. tract: neural circuity (or neuron groups) that mediates rhythmic activities autonomously, location, brian stem, spinal cord, examples, respiration, mastication (chewing, scratching quadrupeds, locomotion. *experiment cats with spinal cord transection can walk on treadmills. At the brains tem level becomes paralyzed. They can hold their body weight but if you hold them up and put them on a treadmill they will start walking.
