Q

what is the basal plate?

A

anterior part of neural tube = motor

19
Q

What types of PNS neurons come from neural crest?

A

Afferent = GSA, GVA, SSA, SVA

20
Q

What type of tissue comes from the marginal zone?

A

myelinated neurons (white matter); oligodendrocytes are found here

21
Q

In the ANS, where are pre-ganglion cells? What are they derived from?

A

extend from spinal cord to ganglia

made from neuroectoderm/neural tube

22
Q

Where does the ventral ramus go?

A

both motor and sensory
motor –> limbs, lateral and ventral body wall
sensory –> integument of same regions

23
Q

What are the neurons like in the parasympathetic nervous system?

A 
prenganglionic = long and myelinated
postganglionic = short and UNmyelinated
24
Q

What PNS cells develop from neural crest?

A 
neurons of dorsal root ganglia
sensory ganglia of cranial nerves
schwann cells
sympathetic ganglia
parasympathetic ganglia
25
Q

What is the autonomic nervous system (ANS)?

A

innervation of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands

sympathetic and parasympathetic

26

In Sympathetic NS, what is the ratio of sizes of preganglionic and postganglionic neurons?

A

short pre

long post

27
Q

The peripheral nervous system is divided up into what parts?

A

somatic = voluntary

autonomic –> sympathetic and parasympathetic

28
Q

What are preganglionic neurons like in the sympathetic nervous system?

A

short

myelinated

29

31
Q

What are afferent neurons?

32
Q

what are efferent neurons?

33
Q

What are SSA neurons?

A

special somatic afferent = from NC

sensory of hearing, balance and sight

34
Q

When do CNS oligodendrocytes myelinate nerves?

A

starts in lower brain stem (older tracts first)

6th month through puberty

35
Q

What type of cells immediately give rise to CSF?

A

choroid plexus cells

36

37
Q

What are GVE neurons?

A

General visceral efferent

autonomic motor to smooth and cardiac muscle and glands

38
Q

What is the autonomic PNS?

A

unconscious and involuntary motor and sensory neurons

parasympathetic and sympathetic

39
