Group 2 (MEMBRANE PHYSIOLOGY) Flashcards
Interneurons found between and around the glomeruli
Periglomerular neurons
Houses the largest population of OB neurons
Granule cell layer
Main projection neurons of the OB
Mitral and Tufted cells
A collective term for peduncle
AON
Layer 1 consists of :
axon collaterals and apical dendrites
The four GABAergic inhibitory interneurons exist in pigs:
a. parvalbumin
b. caltenin
c. somastostatin
d. vasoactive intestinal polypeptide
A layer next to superficial region with spherical shaped regions of neuropils
glomeruli
Containing a few cells and horizontally oriented neurons intrinsic to the layer
External plexiform layer (EPL)
Even-toed ungulates or artiodactyl comprises which groups:
A. tylopoda
B. ruminantia
C. cetancodonta
D. suiformes
A stain is used to illuminate the pig’s brain tissue
Counterstain with methylene blue
A stain used in observing the tissue organization of pig’s brain samples
Nissl-stained
Golgi analysis of dendritic extent and AONpP pyramidal cells indicates:
Larger neuron’s pig size compared to laboratory rodents
Smaller brains of pigs compared to humans indicate:
Pigs have more pronounced olfactory regions than humans
Pigs possess nine glands primarily for odor production:
a. digital
b. preputial
c. vulvar
d. anal
e. mental
f. salivary
g. buccal
h. pre-orbital
i. Harderian glands
A projection neurons looks like a forebrain cortices
pyramidal cells
Routes for olfactory information into the ventral striatum
Olfactory peduncle
Densest in the LoT including deep structures
astrocytes
Pyramidal cells in pigs in terms of dendritic length than in rat or mouse :
Twice ( total dendritic length)
Found where the peduncle merges with the neocortex
Ventral hippocampal rudiment (Tenia tecta)
Vibrotome sections of the pig’s brain sample were stained using:
Fluorescence immunochemistry
