Q

job of CP cells

A

filter water from the blood and filter as CSF.

no proteins or glucose and only SPARSE lymphocytes (only cells). bound by tight junctions to make BBB

Q

layers of CEREBELLAR CTX

A
  1. Molecular cell layer (outermost white part: neurophils and scattered neuron CB)
  2. Purkinje cell layre (must stain special to see)
  3. Granular cell layer (intense purple dots: less neurophils but many densely packed neurons)

Q

What cells are in the neocortex

A
  1. Pyramidal cells
  2. Granule (stellate) cells- small neurons with a CB that looks like a star
  3. Cells of martinotti- small polygonal cells with short, few dendrites
  4. Fusiform cells- spindle-shaped cells oriented at right angles to the surface of the cerebral cortex
  5. Horizontal cells of cajal- small & spindle-shaped but oriented parallel to the surface (least common)
  6. Supporting glia (astrocytes, OG, and microglia)

last 3 layers: describe

A
  1. Granular layer (or inner granular layer): many small granule cells
  2. Large pyramidal cell layer (or inner layer of pyramidal cells) contains REAL large pyramidal cells (Betz cells) in motor areas

Q

describe first 3 layers

A

I. Plexiform layer (or molecular layer) consists largely of fibers parallel to the surface. Mostly neuroglial cells & horizontal cells of Cajal

  1. Small pyramidal cell layer (or outer granular layer) consists mainly of small pyramidal cells & granule cells
  2. Layer of medium pyramidal cells (or layer of outer pyramidal cells) pyramidal cells are somewhat larger and more shaped lk a pyramid; not sharply differented

  3. Molecular layer: dendrites of pyramidal cells
21
Q

What are the layers of the dendate gyrus?

A
  1. Polymorphic layer: nerve fibers (known as “mossy fibers”) & cell bodies of interneurons
  2. Middle granule cell layer: round, neuronal cell bodies of granule cells
  3. Molecular layer containing dendrites of the granule cells
22

hipppocampus has pyramidal cells

dendate gyrus has granule cells

23
Q

_______ in the hilus are known as mossy cells

A

multipolar neurons

24
Q

Multipolar neurons in hilus area are known as “mossy cells”. What do they do?

A

Primarily receive input from mossy fibers of the granule cells of the dentate gyrus
