Q

Describe the 3 layers of brain matter from superficial to deep

A

1.Cerebral cortex: superficial grey matter comprised mostly of cell bodies
2.White matter: tracts of myelinated axons

16
Q

what does the brainstem do

A

it is essential for life and recipes input from the CNS and process it

17
Q

where cna meninges be found, what is its function

A

1.between soft neural tissue and bones in the skull/spine
2. protects the CNS and circulates/ absorbs CSF

18
Q

what space is filled with CSF

A

subarachnoid space

19
Q

what cells make CSF and where

A

ependymal cells make CSF and can be found in the choroid plexus

20
Q

what doe CSF use to circulate through the brains

A

ventricles

21
Q

what is the blood-brain barrier and what makes it so different compared to other organs

A
  1. this is where substance exchange between the blood and extracellular fluid of the CNS
  2. it is highly regulated
22
Q

what is the blood brian barier made of

A

astrocyes

23
Q

what is this called “protein complexes that restrict the movement of polar molecules into the CNS”

A

tight junction

24
Q

what can cross the blood-brain barrier, and what do substances that can not cross the blood-brain barrier use to cross it

A

lipid soluble solutes, substances that can’t cross rely on transport proteins

25
Q

where do afferent and efferent neurons come into and out of in the spinal cord

A

afferent neruons dorsal side
efferent neutrons ventral side

26
Q

what is the role of the PNS

A

transmit signals between the CNS and the effector organ

27
Q

how many pairs of nerves are there in the PNS

A

43

28
Q

what are the key aspets of the somatic nervous system, where are they found

A
  1. inervate skeletal musvles
  2. cell bodies found in the brainstem or ventral horn of spinal cord
  3. Large-diameter myelinated axons travel from the CNS to skeletal muscle without additional synapse
  4. excitatory only
29
Q

what are the key aspects of the autonomic nervous system

A
  1. efferent innervation of tissues other than skeletal muscle
  2. can be excitatory or inhibitory
  3. there are 2 neurons in series that connect the CNS to the effector organ (1st neuron in CNS, synapse between the preganglionic and post ganglionic is in the autonomic ganglion)
30
Q

What are the key aspects of the Sympathetic nervous system

A
  1. fight or flight
  2. typical effects are body wide
  3. neurons leave through the thoracic or lumbar regions
  4. Major NT between pre/post ganglionic is ACh
  5. Major NT post ganglionic is NE
31
Q

what are the key aspects of parasympathetic nervous system

A
  1. rest and digest
  2. neurons leave the spinal cord at brainstem nd sacral region of
  3. Major NT released pre/post ganglionic is ACh
