Mini Exam 1 Flashcards
varicosities =
*varicose veins
varicosities are what type of feedback?
- positive feedback
What is an arterial anastomosis?
*connection between 2 arteries or between 2 parts of the GI track
Where are arterial anastomosis typically found?
*around joints and in the gut
What is an acquired arterial anastomosis and what do we say?
- loss of blood flow, collateral circulation has developed
Where does a collateral circulation never develop?
*kidney (end artery)
what is an end artery?
*where no collateral circulation has developed
Where is surgical arterial anastomosis seen?
*2 parts of GI tract
What maintains homeostasis and coordinates activities?
*nervous system
What is a cluster of neuron cell bodies in the CNS called?
*nuclei
What is a cluster of neuron cell bodies in the PNS called?
*ganglia
What system receives sensory info (mostly from the outside)?
*PNS
What system integrates/ processes information from the PNS, and forms a motor output (sends back to PNS)?
*CNS
Spinal nerves are found where? Except?
- all over body
* except abdominal pelvic cavity
What pathway is largely carried on spinal nerves?
*sympathetic pathway
What is the sensory division also called?
*afferent information
What is the motor division also called?
*efferents
The visceral sensory division is for what type of pain?
*dull and poorly localized
Are you aware or not aware of the visceral sensory division?
- not aware, unless there is a big problem
* autonomic
Are you aware or not aware of the somatic sensory division?
*aware (sight, hearing) and not aware of (joint position, proprioception)
What is proprioception and what division is it associated with?
- brain understands tension on muscles and tendon
* somatic sensory division
What is the flight of fight division?
*sympathetic division
What division is for rest and digest?
*parasympathetic division
What does the visceral motor division adjust?
- homeostasis to environment
What does the visceral motor division innervate?
*cardiac/ smooth muscles and glands
Is the visceral motor division autonomic or voluntary?
*autonomic, involuntary
What are the effectors for the somatic motor division?
*skeletal muscles (voluntary)
What is a spinal nerve?
*when everything (posterior parts and anterior parts) connect
What happens during vasodilation?
*fewer inputs, tends to relax
Where are most of the dual innervated organs found?
*in the abdominal pelvic cavity
What is the postural muscles?
*slow twitch muscles, lots of myoglobin and mitochondria, don’t fatigue easily
What is a spinal segment?
- part of spinal cord to which all sensory fibers project and from which all motor fibers project of a single spinal nerve
Where does the posterior ramus innervate to?
- motor innervations of deep back muscles
- sensory innervations to zygopophysial joints (limit and allow motion)
- sensory inn to skin
What do zygopophysical joints prone to?
*growths of bone (osteophytes)
What is the superficial layer of the back innervated by?
*anterior ramus
What is the superficial layer of the back for?
*move and stabilize upper limb
What is the intermediate layer of the back innervated by?
*posterior ramus
What is the intermediate layer of the back for?
*thin muscles, there for proprioception
What is the deep layer of the back innervated by?
*post ramus
What is the deep layer of the back for?
*move and stabilize vertebral column and minor muscles too (for proprioception)
Most muscles that move the back are innervated by?
*post ramus
What is dematomes?
*cut skin
What is the lateral attachment (LA) and medical attachment (MA)of the rhomboid?
- LA: medial border of scapulae
* MA: spinous process
What is the MA and LA of the latissimus dorsi?
- MA: thoracolumbar fascia and spinous process
* LA: proximal humerous
