Chapter 3 Flashcards
Ventricles
-Lateral
-Third
-Fourth
-Central Canal
-choroid plexus lives in them
Cerebrospinal fluid
-Choroid plexus
-Hydrocephalus
-located in between the arachnoid mater and pia mater
Meninges
-dura mater
-arachnoid
-pia mater
Dura Mater
-outermost
- dense irregular connective tissue
-carries blood from brain toward the heart
Arachnoid Mater
-middle and looks like webs
-CSF circulates in the space
Pia Mater
-innermost
-allows blood vessels to pass through and nourish brain
cerebral aqueduct
15mm conduit that allows CSF to flow between the 3rd and 4th ventricle
axon
long narrow process that projects from the cell body
dendrites
ticklers
nodes of ranvier
gaps between sections of myelin
buttons
endings of axon branches which release chemicals into synapses
synapses
gaps between adjacent neurons across which chemical signals are transmitted
neuron cell membrane
composed of a lipid bilayer
multipolar
what i think neurons look like
unipolar
bald neuron
bipolar
like a bracelet
pseudounipolar
a little freak
interneurons
short/no axon
clusters of cell bodies in CNS
nuclei
clusters of cell bodies in PNS
ganglia
bundles of axons in CNS
tracts
bundles of axons in PNS
nerves
oligodendrocytes
myelination in the CNS
schwann cells
myelination in the PNS
microglia
-role in cell death, synapse formation, and synapse elimination
astroglia
-biggest glial cells
- do lots of things
golgi stain
turned neurons black
first time seeing neurons even though it was just silhouette
nissl stain
superior burble stain
anteretrograde tracing
put in cell body to trace path thru axon away from cell body
retrograde tracing
picked up by terminal buttons and transported thru axon to the cell body
Anterior
towards nose
posterior
towards tail end
dorsal
towards back or top of head
ventral
towards chest or bottom of head
medial
towards midline of body
lateral
away from the midline
axon hillock
connects cell body to axon
ribosomes
makes protein
golgi complex
packages stuff for transport to the synapses
glial cells
cells that help neurons but arent neurons
arms of the spinal gray matter
dorsal horns and ventral horns
5 neural tubes
T, D, MES, MET, MYE, SC
T and then alpha order
dorsal root
sensory unipolar
ventral root
motor multipolar
myelencephalon
-medulla
-has the reticular formation (arousal, etc)
metencephalon
-pons
-cerebellum
-mostly sensorimotor
mesencephalon
-tectum & tegmentum
tectum
pair of inferior colliculi auditory
pair of superior colliculi visual-motor
tegmentum
-periaqueductal is gray matter around the cerebral aqueduct
-substantia nigra & red nucleus
diencephalon
-thalamus
-massa intermedia
-hypothalamus
-pituitary gland
telencephalon
-cerebral cortex
-hippocampus
