Q

Schwann cells

A
  • To produce myelin sheath in PNS
  • To form the neurilemma of axons in PNS
    Function:
    Surround all axons in PNS; responsible for myelination of peripheral axons; participate in repair process after injury

FLUID

23
Q

Interoreceptors

A

Monitor internal organs; digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary, and reproductive systems and provide sensations of distension: deep pressure and pain.

24
Q

Propioceptors

A

Monitor positions of our muscles and joints

25
Q

Exteroceptors

A

Provides info about external environment (touch,pressure, temp., sight, smell, hearing)

26
Q

The efferent or motor division carries motor commands to muscles and glands (T/F)

A

True

27
Q

Axoplasm (or cytoplasm of the axon)

A

Contains neurofibrils, neurotubules, small vesicles, lysosomes, mitochondria, and various enzymes

28
Q

Axoplasmic transport

A

The movement of materials between the cell body and synaptic terminals

29
Q

Types of axoplasmic transport

A
  • Anterograde flow: flow of materials from the cell body to the synaptic terminal, carried by kinesin
  • Retrograde flow: substances transported toward the cell body, carried by dynein
30
Q

Receptors

A

Sensory structures that either detect changes in the environment (internal or external) or respond to specific stimuli

31
Q

The skeletal muscles are controlled by the Somatic NS (T/F)

A

True

32
Q

Special Sensory Receptors

A

Provides sensations of smell, taste, vision, balance, or hearing

33
Q

Somatic Sensory Receptors

A

Monitor skeletal muscles, joints, skin surface; provide position sense and touch, pressure, pain, or temp. sensations

34
Q

Visceral Sensory Receptors

A

Monitor internal organs, including those of cardiovascular,respiratory, urinary, digestive, or reproductive systems

35
Q

Demyelination is associated with numbness and paralysis associated with degenerative process (T/F)

A

True
