Nerve and muscle Flashcards
What are the 2 classes in the PNS split into?
Autonomic> unconscious
Somatic> Conscious
What is the Autonomic class in thr PNS split into>
Sympathetic
Parasympathetic
Role of neurons
Rapid info transmission
How are neurones classed?
Shape
size
function
neurotransmitter
The 3 connective tissue layers of nerves
Epineurium> Nerve
Perineurium> Fascicle
Endoneurium> Nerve axons
The 4 types of nuceli in grey matter
Somatic> External tissue
>Motor
>Sensory
Visceral> Internal
>Motor
>Sensory
Myelination stain

Astrocytes
The 2 Gilia cells of the PNS
Satellite Cells
Schwann Cells
Microglia function
Defence> Phagocytosis & Inflammation
Astrocyte function
Metabolism Glucose uptake K clearance Blood brain Barrier Structural Neuronal Growth Neurotransmittor uptake
Satellite cell function
Regulate external chemical environment
Sensitive > injury & inflammation
Schwann cells function?
Myelination
Re growth
2 classes of demyelination
Myelinoclastic
Leukodystrophia
What is a Mesaxon?
Non myelinated neurones adjacent to schwann cells and surrounded by myelinated axons
3 types of PNS neuropathy
Mononeuropathy
Mononeuritis
Polyneuropathy
Myopathy disorders
Muscular dystrophies> gentics
Myotonia> neuro
Congential myopathies> genetic
Metabolic myopathies > Energy fprming within systems within muscles
Give a neuromuscular junction disease
Myasthenia gravis
Example of Radiculopathy
Nerve damage> herniated disc
Sensory receptors: Muscle spindle
> Skeletal muscle
Stretch
Non- adapting
Sensory Receptors: Free, endings unencapsulated
> Connective Tissue, joints, skins
Pain, touch, light, pressure
Flow/ fast adapting
Pacinian Corpuscles
> Deep dermis tendons, joints, genitalia
Vibration, deep, pressure
Fast adapting
Meissners/ krause bulb
> Oral Mucosa, lips, genitalia, fingertips
Touch, Vibratiom, light pressure
Rapid adapting
