Physiology II (Neurophysiology and Special Senses)

Neurophysiology: Organization of the CNS and CNS control systems. Spinal reflexes. Excitation and Inhibition. Localization of functions in the cortex. Motor system. Pyramidal and extrapyramidal sensory systems. Reticular formation. Cerebellum: Control of posture. Neurobiology rhythms. Sleep and unconscious states. Memory, learning. Autonomic Nervous System: Parasympathetic and sympathetic neuroeffectors. Cholinergic mechanisms. Adrenergic mechanisms. Autonomic reflexes. Adrenal medulla. Autonomic drugs. Special Senses: Eyeball; retina, sight, accommodation. Photochemical mechanism. Receptor potential. Light reflexes and adaptation. Ear: sound waves, hearing. Taste. Smell.
