16
Q

somatic nervous system

A

sensory and motor fibers to

  • skin
  • skeletal muscle
  • joints
17
Q

autonomic nervous system

A

sensory and motor fibers to

  • all smooth muscle
  • cardiac muscle
  • glands
18
Q

enteric nervous system

A
  • plexuses and ganglia of GI tract that regulate bowel secretion, absorption and motility
  • linked to ANS
19
Q

somatic nervous system: number of motor neurons

A

1

20
Q

somatic nervous system: efferent

A
  • efferent neuron in CNS

- axon projects to peripheral target

21
Q

somatic nervous system: afferent

A
  • neuron (pseudounipolar) in DRG

- conveys sensory info from skin, muscle, or joint

22
Q

ANS: number of motor neurons

A

2

23
Q

Where are the 2 neurons of the ANS?

A
  • first neuron in CNS

- second neuron in peripheral autonomic ganglion

24
Q

ANS: axon in the first neuron (in CNS)

A

preganglionic neuron

25
Q

ANS: axin in second neuron (in peripheral autonomic ganglion)

A

postganglionic neuron

26
Q

sensory neuron type of ANS

A

pseudounipolar

27
Q

Where is the sensory neuron of the ANS?

A

DRG

28
Q

What info does the sensory neuron of the ANS carry?

A

sensory info from the viscera to CNS

29
Q

ventricle situated above the pons and rostral portion of medulla

A

4th ventricle

30
Q

ventricle situated in midline diencephalon between thalamic nuclei

A

3rd ventricle

31
Q

Where is CSF produced?

A

choroid plexus (capillary network)

  • in floor of lateral ventricles
  • in roof of 3rd and 4th ventricles
32
Q

Direction of flow of CSF within the ventricles

A
  1. choroid plexus of lateral ventricles
  2. third ventricle via interventricular foramen
  3. fourth ventricle vis cerebral aqueduct
  4. spinal canal
33
Q

secretion and absorption of CSF

A

secretion normally is matched by absorption by arachnoid granulations and small pial veins

34
Q

3 types of hydrocephalus

A
  • obstructive
  • communicating
  • normal pressure
35
Q

obstructive hydrocephalus

A

congenital stenosis of either

  • cerebral aqueduct
  • interventricular foramina
  • lateral and median apertures

may also be caused by obstructive CNS tumors that block flow

36
Q

communicating hydrocephalus

A
  • obstruction outside ventricular system

- maybe due to hemorrhage in subarachnoid space or around arachnoid granulations

37
Q

normal pressure hydrocephalus

A
  • adult syndrome

- results in progressive dementia, gait disorders, urinary incontinence
