Nervous tissue Flashcards
Two body systems that work in parallel but independent of each other
- Nervous system
- endocrine system
one part that overlaps
secretes hormones but part of the brain
Hypothalamus
What is comprised of nervous system
Nervous tissue
comprised of endocrine system
cells and glands that releases hormones
what is the response rate of nervous tissue
Precise and Fast
response rate of endocrine tissue
Slow and diffuse more
how long does the effects of nervous tissue last
brief
how long effects of endocrine tissue stay
long lasting
What is CNS
Central nervous system
Two divisions of the nervous system
- CNS
- PNS
what is in the CNS
- brain
- spinal cord
in the PNS
all other nervous tissues
Nervous tissue if part of the 4 basic tissues
true
where does the NT arise from
Embryonic Ectoderm
is NT celullar
it is high in cellularity
does NT have intercellular substances
very little
Is NT mixed with extracellular material
it is DEVOID of ECM except for connective tissues and blood vessels
what is in thr PNS
mainly connective tissues
what is the composition of NT
-NEurons (nerve cells)
- Neurological cells
or known as glial cells
what are glial cells
supporting cells
what is the most functional unit of Nerve tissue
Neuron
what is the most morphological variable cell type in the body
Neuron
3 types of neurons
- stellate
- pyramidal
- flask shaped neurons
where are stellate neurons found
- spinal cord and motor nuclei. grey matter
where are pyramidal neurons found
cerebral cortex
where are the flask shaped cells (purkinje)
found in the middle layer of cerebellar cortex
tree like
irritability of neurons
abilityy to respond to stimuli
conductivity of neurons
ability to transmit stimuli
two processes of neuron cells
- axon
- dendrite
What cannot regenarate in neurons
neurons cannot regenarate
what can regenerate in neurons
-axon
- dendrite
as long as cell body is intact
Parts of a neuron
- dendrites
- nissil granules
- axon hilock
- axon
- rodes of ranvier
- myelin sheet
- axon terminals
what is the name of neuron cell body
Perikaryon (basophilic)
what is in the perikaryon
- nucleus
- cytoplasmic organelles
- inclusions
- neurofibrils in the cytoplasm
- cytoplasm
this is the large spherical or ovoid shaped located centrally of the neuron
nucleus
this has finely dispersed chromatin that actively synthesizes proteins
nucleus
Lm preparations of
Nucleolus
Nucleus
- deep staining
- pale
what are the cytoplasmic organells
- RER
- Nissl bodies
- SER
- Golgi A
- Mitochondria
- Centrosome
- Lysosomes
- Perixosome
This organlle recycle proteins and protects from foreign bodies
Lysosomes
this organells is found in the axon endings
powerhouse
mitochondria
this organelle distributes protein throughout the cell
SER
site of protein synthesis and metabolic processes
Golgi apparatus
This organelle prevents degradation of the neuron
Peroxisomes
organelle present in dendrites and none in axon
basophilic
Nissl Bodies
organelle with basohphilic parts known as nissl bodies
RER
this is fat droplets that represents energy reserves for neurons
inclusions
residuals that are from the result of lysososamal activity
lipofuscin granules
melanin found in cells of spinal and sympathetic ganglia, substanstia nigra
iron: neurons in globus
pigmented granules
this is present in all nerons. extends to axons and dendrites
formed by 3 types
cytoskeleton
3 types that form the cytoskeleton
- microfilaments
- neurofilaments
- microtubules
type of cytoskeleton that is the largest, transports organelles and provides support
Microtubules
type of cytoskeleton that is the thinnest and has F–actin
microtubules
type of cytoskeleton that is also known as intermediate filament, is abundant in axons
and supprts the cells
NeuroFILAMENTS
this transports impulses away
Axon
how many axons are there per neuron
1 one
where does the axon arise from
axon hilock
shape of axons?
long and slender
what is the longest axon in the body
Sciatic nerve
what are the parts found in the axon
- SER
- mitochondira
- neurofibrils
two parts of axons
- axoplasm
- axolemma
small round swelling that acts as site of synapses
- bouton or terminals
bouton with swelling at the end
Bouton TERMINAUX
bouton swelling along the course
bouton EN PASSANT
two movements of axonal transport
- anterograde
- retrograde
this is Perikaryon to Axon
Anterograde
Axon to perikaryon
Retrograde
found in anterograde
a microtuble that uses atp
Kinesin
