Term
nervous tissue consists of what?
Definition
neurons and glial cells
Term
what is true about the glial cells in the PNS and CNS
Definition
they're different yeah they're different
♪♫♫♪♪
Term
what kind of mechanism is a synapse
Definition
a paracrine mechanism
Term
CNS includes what structures
Definition
brain, spinal cord, and cranial nerve
Term
PNS includes what structures
Definition
nerves, ganglia, and motor and sensory nerve endings
Term
CNS includes what cells
Definition
neurons and oligodendrite glial cells
Term
PNS includes which cells
Definition
neuron and schwann/satellite glial cell bodies outside cranial cavity and spinal cord
Term
What does SOMATIC nervous system control
Definition
voluntary motor functions via skeletal muscle innervation by long axons of efferent Alpha motor neurons (CNS) and sensory input.
Term
Each single alpha motor neuron connects to
Definition
a few muscle fibers
Term
what is a motor unit
Definition
one alpha motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it ennervates
Term
What does the ANS control
Definition
influences involuntary functions of smooth muscle (which includes vasculature, gut, urinary bladder) cardiac muscle, and glandular epithelium via preganglionic nerons CNS and postganglionic neurons PNS.
Term
How is the CNS connected to target organs
Definition
two-neuron sequences (visceral efferents): First one comes down from brain with cell body in CNS
Second cell body is in ganglion.
Term
Sensory input (somatic and visceral afferents) is carried through
Definition
pseudounipolar neurons in dorsal root ganglia along side spinal nerves to CNS.
Term
Organ's funs reclect influence of
Definition
neurotransmittors from nerons AND HORMONES from 'endocrine' epithelial cells throughout body --->coordinated meuroendocrine control
Term
SYMPATHETIC releases _____ from ________ fibers
Definition
Sympathetic releases NOREPINEPHRINE from POST-GANG FIBERS
Term
PARASYMPATHETIC release _____ from _____fibers
Definition
Parasympathetic release ACETYLCHOLINE from PRE&POST GANG fibers
Term
Enteric ganglia are localized where
Definition
within the connective and muscular tissues of alimentary canal and can fn independently of pregang output to control exocrine/endocrine secretions and smooth muscle contraction aka peristalsis
Term
describe
Afferent "sensory" receptors
Definition
encapsulated within CT structure but may also be free axon termini that initiate a neron impulse in response to specific stimuli
Term
name and describe the afferent sensory receptors of the body
Definition
1) exteroreceptors aka 5 senses
2) enteroreceptors respnd to internal stimuli (gut, vasculature, urinary)
3) proprioreceptors respond to mechanical stimuli
Term
cerebral Perikaryons are located only
Definition
in the gray matter
Term
the axons of cerebral neurons are called
Definition
tracts
Term
where are cell bodies found in PNS
Definition
ganglia and sensory regions
Term
axons of neurons in the PNS travel in bundles called
Definition
nerves
Term
Ectoderm gives rise to what three things
Definition
neuroectoderm, placodes, and surface ectoderm
Term
what does neuroectoderm become
Definition
neural plate
Term
what does the neural plate undergo and what does it give rise to
Definition
neuralation
gives rise to neural tube (CNS) and neural crest (PNS)
Term
What does surface ectoderm give rise to
Definition
skin, lens, cornea, enamel
Term
what do placodes give rise to
Definition
special sensory organs like eye, ear, nasal, cranial nerge ganglia
Term
three types of neurons
Definition
multipolar, bipolar, and pseudounipolar (unipolar)
Term
describe multipoar
Definition
multiple dendritic processes plus one axon ranging from 4um to 1m! (motor neurons of ventral horn of spinal cord) in human
Term
name two multipolar cells
Definition
interneurons (brain); motor neurons (spinal cord
Term
describe bipolar cells
Definition
a single axon and single dendrite extending from a cell body in the middle
Term
where are bipolar nerves found
Definition
only sensory neurons such as in retina and vestibulocochlear VIII systems
Term
Describe psuedounipolar cells
Definition
have a ingle branching axon but no dendrites. actually is bipolar; one process carries impulses to cell and other carries it away. incoming signals don't have to route throught bd of neuron
Term
where are unipolar cells found
Definition
in peripheral sensory ganglia like dorsal root ganglia
Term
what's in the perikaryon besides usual shit
Definition
polyribosomes and rER
Term
can you see perikaryons with LM?
Definition
yiss
Term
what color are perkaryons with LM
Definition
basophilic
Term
what are the basophilic patches of perikaryons called
Definition
nissl bodies
Term
what do you stain perikaryons with
Definition
hematoxylin, toluidine blue, cresoyl violet
Term
what happens to the perikaryon as aging happnes
Definition
accumulation of lipofuscin granules that ocupy half of the cytoplasm
Term
what are the cytoskeletons of neurons made of
Definition
neurofilaments
Term
what do you stain neurofilaments with
Definition
gold and silver
Term
what do perikaryons lack in the dendrites
Definition
golgi
Term
axon hillock is ______ bc it lacks _____ and _____
Definition
axon hillock is pale bc it lacks golgi and nissl substance
Term
________receptors bind ACh
Definition
cholinergic receptors
Term
______________ degrades Ach
Definition
acetylcholinesterase
Term
_____________ receptors bind catcholamines
Definition
adrenergic
Term
some catecholamines are
Definition
epi, norepi, and dopamine
Term
name some other NTCs
Definition
amines like serotini, GABA, glutamate, aspartate
neuroendocrinepeptides (CCK, VIP, substance P)
Term
what are the two sections of the forebrain
Definition
telencephalon and diencephalon
