Ch. 13 Flashcards
major divison os nervous systgem
CNS and PNS
CNS includes
brain and spinal cord
both brain and spinal cord are capable of
can receive, integrate, and generate response to sensory info
PNS is able to convey
sensory info to the CNS for the tasks and also carry away to effect
two next categories in the PNS
Sensory afferent division
motor efferent division
sensory divison info is going
toward CNS
motor division conveys info
away from CNS
motor divison subdivisions
somatic nervous systgem and autonomic nervous system
SNS involves
cells conveying skeletal muscles
SNS voluntary or non
voluntary
ans cells convey info
from CNS to other effectors
ANS muscles
cardiac, smooth, and glands
ANS subdivisons
sympathetic divison and parasympathetic
sympathetic division causes
heart rate increase, slow down motility in digestion
parasympathetic cause
heart rate decrease, motility increase
neuroglia is
cells in nervous tissue
how many times of cells do we have of neuroglia than neuron cells
5x more
types of neuroglia (glial cells) for CNS
ependymal cells, microglia, astrocytes, ogliodendrocytes
ependymal cells shapes
cuboidal or columnar
ependymal cells line
cavities in CNS, primarily ventral brain and central canal spinal cord
ependymal cells are specialized
for producing, monitering cerebrospinal fluid and circulate it
microglia size
smallest of the cells
microglia are important because
resident immune system within immune cells
microglia phagocytic
they can engulf microbes/debris, help inflammatory/disease
astrocytes are the most
numerous cells
astrocytes are important for
framework, guiding, support, regulate ISF, repair tissue, BBB
oligodendrocytes help
astrocytes with structural support
oligodendrocytes myelinate
axons which leads to grey and white matter
unmyelin/ myelin graymatter
unmyelinated
unmyelin/ myelin white matter
myelinated
myelin is a substance formed from
phospholipids of glial cells
myelin
electrically insulate parts of nuerons not covered
if axon is unmyelinated
transport is not fast
if axon is myelinated
transport is fast
PNS glial cells
schwann and satelite
satellite cells wrap themselves
around cell bodies in PNS
satellite cells help
regulate exchange of nutrients
schwann cells our found in
neuronal axons in PNS
Schwanna cells are like
oligodendrocytes
schwann cells help
myelinate axons
schwann cells myelinate
by putting all cytoplasm in one spot and stretches to wrap phospholipids around
schwann cells each myelinate
one section of axons
gaps between schwann cells are called
nodes of ranvier
second classifaction of nervous tissue
neurons
neurons help
transmit electrical signals
