Lecture 1- Nervous system Flashcards
when dividing the nervous system, what functions make up the CNS
motor
sensory
integrative functions
the PNS can be divided into somatic and visceral motor, how many neurons correspond to each
somatic = 1 neuron for skeletal m
visceral= 2 neurons for cardiac, smooth m and glands
the visceral motor component in the PNS is made up of 2 cell systems. Where do the 1st and 2nd cell bodies reside?
1st- nucleus in CNS
2nd- ganglia in PNS
what makes up the functional unit of CNS
neurons which are:
soma 1- synthesizing functions
dendrites- 0 to numerous extensions of soma
axons- 1 with multiple terminals
what makes up the supportive unit of CNS
glia which are:
oligiodendrocytes: myelin sheath
astrocytes: nutrition, glymphatic drainage
microglia: immune surveillance
ependymal: lining ventricles and central canal of spinal cord
what is a hillock axon
connecting part of a soma that conducts electric signals
what makes up the functional unit of PNS
neuron which are:
dorsal root ganglion can have 2 axons
visceral motor ganglionic neurons still multipolar
what makes up the supportive unit for PNS
glia which are:
schwann cells- myelin sheath embedding a single axon
satellite cells: specialized schwann cells wrapping ganglionic soma
which visceral organs invade into the somatic wall
sweat glands
blood vessels
arrector pili
where does the notochord form
mesoderm
what does the notochord form into after development
nucleus pulposus of intervetebral disc
what happens in the ectoderm during development
folding to form neural plate and groove then closes dorsally to form neural tube and neural crest
what happens with the closing of the cranial neural pore
closes brain development
what happens with the closing of the caudal neural pore
closes spinal development
what does the neural tube turn into with development
neural pore for CNS
what does the neural crest turn into with development
PNS and other structures such as the cranium, cardiac septum
what happens if there is no closure of the cranial neural pore
anencephaly
what happens if there is no closure of the caudal neural pore
spina bifida resulting in paraplegia
what vesicles are formed after cranial neuropore closure
prosencephalon- forebrain
mesencephalon- midbrain
rhombencephalon- hindbrain
after development prosencephalon breaks down into
telencephalon
diencephalon
after development rhombencephalon breaks down into
metencephalon
myelencephalon
what is part of diencephalon
optic vesicle: retina, CN II
what is part of metencephalon
pons and cerebellum
what is part of myelencephalon
medulla oblongata
when the prosencephalon divides into telencephalon and diencephalon what is formed
cephalic fissure
