ClnMed Flashcards
Layer that covers the whole nerve
Epineurium
Layer that covers each nerve fascicle
Perineurium
Layer that covers each individual fiber
Endoneurium
This type of nerve is myelinated, largest, and fastest conducting- it provides information on proprioception and somatic motor function
Alpha motor neuron
This type of nerve is myelinated and senses touch and pressure
Beta fiber
This type of nerve provides motor to muscle spindles
Gamma (myelinated)
This type of nerve fiber is small and senses pain cold and touch
Delta (myelinated)
A nerve that has been transected in the distal segment of a nerve
Wallerian degeneration
What type of pathological nerve process occurs in guianne barre
Segmental demyelination
Area of bone supplied by one nerve
Sclerotome
