Q

What is myelin important for?

A

transmitting nervous impulse from neurons to neruon

17
Q

CNS Structure

A
  1. Nucleus
    a. Gray Matter
    collection of NERVE CELL BODIEs
  2. Tract
    a. White matter
    COllection of nerve fibers & connects nuclei
18
Q

PNS structure

A
1. Ganglion 
Collection of nerve cell bodies
Outside of CNS
2. Peripheral Nerve
- Collection of nerve fibers, connects cns with peripheral structures such as spinal cord or cranial
19
Q

Periphinal Spinal nerves

A

C1, C2, 3,4

20
Q

Axons are white or gray matter?

A

white

21
Q

Where can you find the cell bodies?

A

Nucleus, Gray matter

22
Q

The SPinal Cord is the extension of what?

A

Brainstem from medulla

23
Q

Where does the spinal cord end?

A

L1- L2

24
Q

Primary fucntion of the spinal cord is to

A

transmit signals to and from the brain to peripheral structures

25
Q

Dorsal & Ventral root meet to make what?

A

Spinal Nerve

26
Q

Cross Sectional Vartiation

A

C
T
S
L

27
Q

Describe Cervical Cross section

A

Large & oval

Large amount of white matter

28
Q

Have the descending motor tract exit the cervical cross-sectional of the spinal cord?

A

No

29
Q

Describe Thoracic Cross Section

A

Oval Shap
SMaller than cervical
Have lateral horns
- Autonomic

30
Q

Where are the cell bodies of the sympathetic nervous located?

A

thoracic

31
Q

Describe Lumbar Spine Cross Section

A

Round in shape & large

Largest amount of gray matter

32
Q

why is their large amount of gray matter?

A

because the surface area of muscles and sensory fibers

33
Q

Sacral Cross Section

A

Similar to lumbar but smaller

34
Q

Have most descending tracts left the Sscral cross section?

A

Yes

35
Q

Have ascending tracts ented the Spinal cored in sacral cross section?

A

Yes
