Q

dendrite fx

A

receives messages

23
Q

axon fx

A

pushes messages and sends them out to other neurons

24
Q

axon hillox fx

A

the most proximal part of the nerve where the electrical signal is created then goes down

25
do neurons touch each other?
NO
26
so what is between each neuron?
synaptic cleft
27
list the three structure of what is between a neuron
1 - presynaptic terminal 2 - synaptic cleft 3 - post synaptic membrane
28
what do messages do to get to another neuron
DIFFUSE
29
what four things do neurons do?
1 - receive 2 - intergrate 3 - transmit 4 - transfer
30
how many fx does a neuron have?
4
31
anterograde
forward direction in usual direction - sends the message down the axon to get transmitted back - sends down the ski lift
32
retrograde
backward reverse direction | - sends the empty chair lift back to the soma
33
how many types of neurons are there?
4
34
list the four types of neurons:
1 - bipolar 2- pseudounipolar 3 - multipolar 4 - interneuron
35
what is a bipolar neuron?
1 dendrtic trunk | 1 axonic trunk
36
where are bipolar neurons found?
only in some places like retina of the eye | not very common
37
what is a pseudounipolar neuron
1 branch that seems like there is two but only 1 - two parts that act like dendrites and axons - 1 peripheral branch - 1 central branch
38
where are pseudounipolor neurons found?
really only in one part of the brain : sensosomatotic fxs
39
what is a multipolar neuron?
many muliptle big dendrites branches | one axonic trunk
40
where are mulipolar neurons found?
all over | most common neuron in the body
41
what is an interneuron
4 / mulitple dendritic trunks 1 axon trunk (so looks like a multipolar neuron) but SMALL
42
where are interneurons found?
inbetween an axon and dendrite of two different neurons
43
fx of interneuron:
to deliver and can modify messages
44
what are the four types of membrane
1 - leak (non-gated) channels 2 - voltage gated 3 - modality gated 4 - ligand-gated
45
what is a leak (non-gated) channel
it is free open all the time things just flow in and out - its got its legs WIDE open (whore) molecules "leak" through
46
what is a voltage -gated channel
molecules can only pass through with a voltage change - naturally the inside is neg and the outside pos - so that needs to change change in the charge of the ion or membrane
47
what is a ligand gated channel
the channel only opens if a ligand = protien = neurotransmitter opens the door
48
what is a modality gated channel
the channel opens up with a modality of mechanical property (like heat)
49
polarized means
to be different
50
what are the 3 electrical properties: (potentials)
1. resting 2. local 3. action
51
what is a resting potential?
when there is a difference in potentials inside is negative outside is postive - what naturally every cell has
52
what two things do sinuses have?
blood AND CSF
53
what does the falx cerebri do?
draws the ventricles (water balloon) down to protect the two hemispheres
