Anatomy Flashcards
What is epidural space ?
Space that situated between the wall of vertebral canal and spinal dura mater .
It also contain fats.
What is spinal cord enveloped of
S.C is enveloped by meninges
Whatis subarachnoid space ?
Space that is surrounding the spinal cord .
Contaon CSF
Dorsal Spinal Root + Ventral spinal roots =?
Spinal nerves
What is intervertebral foramen ?
Foramen that located between spinal vertebrae
What is transverse foramen ?
An opening, but occupied by vertebral artery and vein
What is intervertebral disc ?
Lies between the adjacent vertebrae in the vertebral column.
Each disc form is fibrocartilagous joint.
To allow slight movement of the vertebrae , act as ligament to hold the vertebrae together, shock absorber for spine.
What is ventral root ?
Receive information from brain motor cortex .
Send skeletal muscle ->trigger voluntary movement.
What is dorsal horn ?
To take e3nsory information then send it to brains sensory cortex
What is lateral horn ?
Help to regulate processes like urination , digestion , heart rate .
What is spinal nerve ?
Nerve that leaving the spinal cord.
Funct Ventral root ?
Carries motor fibre.
Funct ventral ramus ?
Innervate limbs and anterior torso
Funct of dorsal ramus ?
Innervate the back
Funct dorsal root ?
Recieve sensory fibres
Funct dorsal root ganglion ?
It send fiber towards spinal cord and toward periphery
Functional components of nerves ?
- General Somatic Afferent (GSA)
- General Somatic Efferent (GSE)
- General Visceral Afferent (GVA)
- General Visceral Efferent (GVE)
Three additional for special sense & pharyngeal arc muscles ?
- Special Somatic afferent for vision and hearing
- Special visceral afferent for taste and olfaction
- Special visceral efferent for supplying muscles wh8ch develop from the pharyngeal arches.
What is reflex ?
Fast, automatic response to specific stimulus .
What is 5 components of reflex arc ?
- Sensory receptor
- Sensory neuron
- Integration center
- Motor neuron
- Effector target
Why monosynaptic reflex is the simplest reflex ?
Becuz its only involve 1 sensory and 1 motor neuron.
Thus the reflex action takes place without the involvement of brain.
What monosynaptic reflex includes ?
Patellar reflex
Achilles reflex
Nerves to extrinxic muscles of the thoracic limb ?
- Pectoral NN
- Thoracodorsal N.
- Long Thoracic N.
Nerved that innervate intrinsic muscles of the scapular region ?
- Suprascapular N.
* Subscapular N.
