20
Q

what techniques used to detect the path fibers travel in NS?

A
  • staining techniques(myelin stains and Golgi stain)
  • tracing techniques(HPR-horseradish peroxidase)and axonal ablation
  • CAT, MRI, PET
21
Q

what are steps for Golgi stain?

A
  1. place tissue in a fixative that contains potassium dichromate
  2. place tissue in silver nitrate solution
  3. cut, dehydrate and mount tissue
22
Q

what is an advantage of Golgi stain?

A

exquisite detailed images

23
Q

what is a disadvantage of Golgi stain?

A

capricious and nonreproducible

24
Q

what are parts of CNS?

A

cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, brainstem,spinal cord

25
Q

types of neurons

A

unipolar(pseudounipolar) and multipolar cells

26
Q

where are unipolar found?

A

in sensory ganglia and one sensory nucleus

27
Q

EX of neurotransmitters

A

acetylcholine, serotonin,epinephrine, dopamine, Gaba-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamic acid

28
Q

what are cell types in CNS?

A

neuron, interneuron, oligodendrocyte-produce myelin, astrocyte-producematric in which nerve cells reside, microglial cell-phagocytic cell specific to CNS

29
Q

what wrappings of spinal cord?

A

meninges and meningeal spaces

30
Q

why are these changes and relationships important?

A
  • epidural or subdural injection

- removal of cerebrospinal fluid

31
Q

what is modality?

A

in each nerve, whether it be cranial nerve or spinal nerve, there are 6 separate sets of functions that can travel. These functions are called modality

32
Q

general somatic efferent motor

A

motor to muscles that developed from somatic mesoderm. Muscles that are primarily found in limbs and trunl w/ exception of the muscles that move eye and muscles that move tongue. Considered to be “voluntary” motor

33
Q

general visceral efferent motor

A

motor to muscles that developed from splanchnic mesoderm. Muscles are found throughout the body. Associated w/ autonomic nervous system and thought to be primarily “involuntary motor”

34
Q

special or pharyngeal (branchial) efferent motor

A

motor to muscles that developed from pharyngeal or branchial arches. Primarily found in head and face but some are found in neck(sternocleidomastoid) or upper trunk(trapezius). Some are moved voluntarily and some are moved involuntarily

35
Q

general somatic afferent (sensory)

A

sensory from receptors in the skin, ligaments and tendons including sensations of pain, temperature, pressure, touch, proprioception, and stereognosis. Considered to be “direct” sensation

36
Q

general visceral Afferent (sensory)

A

sensory from receptors in muscles and various sensory organs such as carotid body and carotid sinus. Pain associated w/ this modality is considered to be “referred” pain

37
Q

special afferent (sensory)

A

sensory from receptors in head. Sensations include taste, smell, sight, hearing and balance

38
Q

The modalities which can possibly run in a typical spinal nerve
*Motor or efferent

A
  • general somatic efferent-to muscles of somatic origin

- general visceral efferent-to muscles of splanchnic origin

39
Q

The modalities which can possibly run in a typical spinal nerve
*sensory or afferent

A
  • general somatic afferent-direct sensation

- general visceral afferent-referred sensation

40
Q

what are cranial nerves?

A

olfactory nerve(I)-smell,optic nerve(II)- sight, Oculomotor nerve(III), Trochlear nerve(IV), Abducens nerve(VI), trigemial nerve(V), Vestibulocochlear nerve(VIII), Accessory nerve(XI), Hypoglossal nerve(XII)

41
Q

Oculomotor nerve(III)

A
  • somatic motor to 4 of 6 extraocular muscles(superior, inferior & medial rectus, and inferior oblique) and levator palpebrae superioris
  • autonomic parasympathetic motor to ciliary muscles and constrictor pupillae muscle
42
Q

Trochlear nerve (IV)

A

somatic motor to superior oblique muscle(an extraocular muscle)

43
Q

Abducens nerve(VI)

A

somatic motor to lateral rectus muscle(an extraocular muscle)

44
Q

Trigeminal nerve (V)

A
  • somatic sensory from majority of head and neck
  • branchial motor to muscles of mastication(temoralis, masseter, lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid, mylohyoid, anterior digastric, tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini
45
Q

Vestibulocochlear nerve(VIII)

A

hearing and balance

46
Q

Accessory nerve (XI)

A

branchial motor to muscles of pharynx and larynx, sternocleidomastoid and trapezius

47
Q

Hypoglossal nerve (XII)

A

somatic motor to extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue
