Musculoskeletal Flashcards
schwann cells
form myelin in the PNS
oligodendrocytes
form myelin in the CNS
astrocytes
guide synaptic transmission by regulation of NT levels, guide neuronal development
microglia
CNS phagocytes
ependymal cells
produce CSF
Medulla functions
General function: involuntary functions
controls autonomic processes: blood pressure, blood flow, heart rate, respiratory rate, swallowing, vomiting
controls reflex reactions: coughing and sneezing
relays sensory info to the cerebellum and the thalamus
pons
general function: relay station and balance
controls antigravity posture and balance
relays info to the cerebellum and thalamus
connects spine and medulla to upper brain
cerebellum
primary function: movement coordination
integrating center
coordination of comple xmovement, balance and posture, muscle tone, sptial equilibrium
midbrain
general function: eye movement
integration of visual and auditory info
visual and auditory reflexes
wakefulness and consciousness
coordinates info on posture and muscle tone
hypothalamus
controls homeostatic functions like temp, fluid balance, appetite
controls primitive emotion
controls pituitary
pacinian corpuscles
type of mechanoreceptor in the skin that recognizes pressure
nociceptor
free nerve endings in skin that recognize pain
definition of interoception
baroreceptor and chemoreceptors
