DO EVERYDAY ANATOMY Flashcards
what are the 3 origins of the brain?
prosencephalon
mesencephalon
rhombencephalon
what does the prosencephalon turn into?
telecephalon
what does the telencephalon turn into?
cerebral hemispheres
what does the mesencephalon turn into?
mesencephalon –> midbrain
what does the rhombencephalon turn into
metencephalon and mylencephalon
what does the metencephalon turn into
pons, cerebellum
what does the myencephalon turn into
medulla oblongata
draw out the origins of the brain
P - TD
M - M
R - met + myl
what are ependymal cells?
ciliated cuboidal / columnar epithelial cells that line the ventricles
what is a node of ranvier?
speeds up propagation of action potentials along the axon
gaps between myelin insulation
what comprises the lentiform nucleus?
putamen and globus pallidum
where is the lentiform nucleus found?
basal ganglia
what does the insular lobe play a role in ?
pain
draw out the artieral supply of the brain
- anterior cerebral arteries internal carotid arteries - middle cerebral arteries - posterior cerebral arteries - basilar arteries - vertebral arteries - circle of willis
what is the sympathetic innervation of sympathetic chain?
T1-L2
how does sympathetic innervation reach the heart?
pre synaptic - synapse in T1 or cervical paravertebral ganglia
post synaptic - via cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves to SA and AV nodes and the myocardium
how does sympathetic innervation reach the lungs?
presynaptic - synapse in upper thoracic paravertebral ganglia
post-synaptic - pass in cardiopulmonary splanhnic nerves to the bronchiolar SM and mucous glands
how does sympathetic innervation reach the abdominopelvic organs?
presynatic axons synapse in one of the prevertebral ganglia
how does sympathetic innervation reach the adrenal medulla?
presynaptic axons pass through the aorticorenal ganglion to synapse directly onto the adreanline / noradreanline secreting cells of the adrenal medulla
which nerve do parasympathetic presynaptic axons leave the Cns?
3,7,9,10
which paths do sympathetic axons travel via?
ciliary ganglion
lacrimal + salivary glands
vagus nerve = organs of neck, chest, abdomen (hindgut)
sacralspinal nerves - hindgut, pelvis, + perineum
what are the spinal nerves of the cervical plexus?
C1-C4
