Q

What occurs in multiple sclerosis?

A

macrophages and microglia directly attack myelin stripping fragments of myelin, leaving “naked” demyelinated axons

Q

What causes AIDP ?

A

autoimmune response directed against Schwann cell membranes

20
Q

What is the difference between Gullain-Barre syndrome and multiple sclerosis?

A

GBS: in PNS (Schwann cells)
MS: CNS (microglia)

21
Q

What are examples of sensory receptors in the skin?

A

Pacinian corpuscle and Meissner’s corpuscle

22
Q

Where can the Pacinian corpuscle be found?

A

deep in the dermis

23
Q

Where can the Meissner’s corpuscle be found?

A

closer to epidermis

24
Q

Which corpuscle allows for edge detection?

A

Meissner’s

25
Which corpuscle allows for a sense of pressure and vibration?
Pacinian
26
What type of connective tissue surrounds the nerve?
epineurium (dense irregular)
27
What type of connective tissue surrounds the nerve fasicle?
perineurium (specialized tissue)
28
What type of connective tissue surrounds the nerve fiber?
endoneurium (loose tissue)
29
What are the 2 types of blood-nerve barrier?
perineurium and endoneurium
30
What is the perineurium?
specialized connective tissue with tight junctions
31
What is the endoneurium?
blood capillaries that have tight junctions
32
What are gangli?
cell bodies in PNS arranged in structures
33
The cell bodies have specialized glial cells called what?
satellite cells
34
What do the satellite cells in the ganglia surround?
outer neuron
35
In the gangli, what is a sensory pseudo-unipolar neuron?
dorsal root ganglion
36
What is the role of the satellite cells in ganglia?
1. serve as supportive cells around the neuronal body in the ganglion 2. provide electircal insulation
37
Do the satellite cells in the ganglia produce myelin?
NO
38
What is the PNS response to injury?
Wallerian degeneration
39
What is the process of Wallerian degeneration?
1. nerve fiber is cut/crushed 2. part of the axon separates 3. degenerates distal to the injury
40
What is needed for regeneration in the PNS?
Schwann cells
41
What is Wallerian degeneration?
after significant injury, the nerve will begin to degrade in an anterograde fashion
42
What is a nogo protein?
negative regulator of neuronal growth in CNS
43
What is the role of nogo proteins?
impair growth cones
44
Which nervous system lacks nogo proteins?
PNS
45
What can nogo antibodies do?
enhance axon elongation after spinal cord crush injuries
