Q

How does CSF transfer from the subarachnoid space to the venous blood?

A

from subarachnoid space CSF is reabsorbed to the venous blood through one way valves formed by arachnoid matter
its arachnoid villi and granulations

Q

What is hydrocephalus?

communicating vs non communicating

A

When there is a build up of CSF in the brain in the subarachnoid space
Communicating is reabsorption can’t happen
Non communicating means there is a blockage

Q

what are the three dorsal nuclei

A

substantia gelatinosa, nucleus proprius, dorsal nucleus of clarke

20
Q

Pain is which nucleus

A

substantia gelatinosa modifies the pain

21
Q

pain and temp is which nucleus

A

nucleus proprius

22
Q

proprioception is which nucleus

A

dorsal nucleus of clarke

23
Q

Gray matter lateral horn functions

A

autonomic nervous system
sympathetic thoracic and lumbar level
parasympathetic sacral level

24
Q

anterior/ventral horn gray matter list the nuclei

A

medial is trunk, lateral is limbs, posterior is flexors(positively flexing), anterior is extensors.

25
Q

List the enlargements of the spinal cord. Why do these enlargements exist? What is the specific function of each enlargement?

A

Cervical and lumbar enlargements
For fine touch and more motor control
Cervical upper limbs, lumbar lower limbs

26
Q

Conus medullaris

A

cone tip where spinal cord ends at L1

27
Q

filum terminale

A

ligament to anchor at the end of coccyx, silver strand interespered in the cuada equina

28
Q

cauda equina

A

“horse tail” bundle of nerves starting at the end of lumbar enlargement

29
Q

At which vertebral level does the spinal cord terminate?

A

L1

30
Q

Where is the epi(extra) dural space and what is found within it?

A

between dura mater and skull and it contains venous plexus, blood and fat

31
Q

What does the dorsal/ventral ramus innervate?

A

Ventral rami: all extrinsic muscles of the back (except Trapezius). And stuff from the front.

32
Q

For complete cutaneous sensory loss, how many spinal nerves would have to be lesioned? Why?

A

Three spinal nerves. Because each dermatome overlap its adjacent dermatomes by 50%

33
Q

What types of fibers are found in Ventral roots

A

motor and pre-ganglionic sympathetic.

34
Q

What types of fibers are found in dorsal

A

sensory

35
Q

Where is the first point where a nerve becomes ‘mixed’? (ie. contains motor and sensory innervation?)

A

True nerve at intervertebral foramen. Union of ventral and dorsal roots.

36
Q

What do somatic sensory neurons innervate? Where are their cell bodies of origin located? How many neurons link the CNS to the target?

A

Somatic sensory neurons innervate: sensory signals from SKIN OR skeletal MUSCLES to CNS
Cell bodies of origin located: dorsal root ganglion
1 neuron links CNS to target (sensory in general is only one)

37
Q

What do somatic motor neurons innervate? Where are their cell bodies of origin located? How many neurons link the central nervous system (CNS) to the target?

A

Somatic motor neurons innervate: output from CNS to skeletal muscle of trunk or limbs
Cell bodies of origin located: ventral horn nucleus
1 neuron links CNS to target

38
Q

What do visceral sensory neurons innervate? Where are their cell bodies of origin located? How many neurons link the CNS to the target

A

Visceral sensory neurons innervate: sensory signals from these neurons carry sensory information (distension, pain) from viscera (gland, internal organ to the CNS.
Cell bodies of origin located in: dorsal root ganglion
1 neuron link CNS to the target

39
Q

What do visceral motor (autonomic) neurons innervate?

A

Viscera like gland, internal organ, or blood vessel

40
Q

Is the autonomic nervous system (ANS) a sensory or motor system, or both? How many neurons link the CNS to the target?

A

Motor system

2 neurons link

41
Q

Where are the neuron cell bodies of origin for the sympathetic division of the ANS located in the CNS? ? Based on this location, what are the anatomical-based names for each division?

A

Sympathetic cell bodies: In the Intermediolateral grey horn From T1-L2 (thoracolumbar)

42
Q

Where are the neuron cell bodies of origin for the parasympathetic division of the ANS located in the CNS? ? Based on this location, what are the anatomical-based names for each division?

A

Cranial (brainstem) and Sacral region (S2-4). Craniosacral

43
Q

What information does somatic system convey

A

between CNS and body wall/limbs

44
Q

What information does visceral system convey

A

conveys impulses between the CNS and blood vessels, glands or internal organs (viscera

45
Q

Where are cell bodies for pelvic splanchnic nerves?

A

Inside the spinal cord preganglionic in S2,3,4 in lateral horn located there
