Connected to the brain rostral to the mid brain
Actual evaginations from the central nervous system?
Cranial Nerves I and II
Functional Classification of Neurons?
Sensory neurons Association neurons Sensory association neurons Motor association neurons Motor neurons
Sends impulses to the CNS?
Sensory Neurons
Located in the cerebral and spinal ganglia, except for the mesencephalic nucleus, which is located in the middle pons and lower mid brain lateral to the iter?
Sensory Neurons
Carry impulses from one neuron to another?
Association Neurons
Sends impulses towards the effectors, which is usually a skeletal muscle?
Motor Neurons
Effector organs in the autonomic nervous system?
Cardiac muscle
Smooth muscle
Glands
Morphological Classification of Nerves?
Unipolar neuron
Pseudo-unipolar neuron
Bipolar neuron
Multipolarneuron
With a common stem dividing into an axon and a dendrite?
Pseudo-UnipolarNeurons
Two processes of Bipolar Neurons?
Axon
Dendrite
Axon is long and terminates far from where the nerve cell body lies?
Golgi Type I
Axon is short and terminates close to the cell body?
Golgi Type II
Classification of Sensory Neurons?
General Somatic Afferent (GSA)
General Visceral Afferent (GVA)
Special Visceral Afferent (SVA)
Special Somatic Afferent (SSA)
Stimulus comes from the skin, joints, tendons, skeletal muscles and bones which are carried towards the CNS?
General Somatic Afferent (GSA)
Can be found in both the cerebral and spinal ganglia?
