Nervous Tissue Flashcards
what is the basic function of the cns
to collect information from the outside and coordinate it
what tries to coordniate new information with information from the past
CNS
how does the motor pathway carry information
from motor to periphery
how does the sensory pathway work
it carries information from periphery to the CNS
what are the three supporting cells of a neruon
- glial cell (CNS)
- shcwann cell (PNS)
- satellite cells (PNS)
what cells produce myelin sheath
- schwann
- oligodendrocyte
what are the central process of a neruon
axon
what are the peripheral process of neuorn
dendrites
why is it that after a stroke a patient will complain of not having as much energy as they did before?
because neurons dont regenerate, once they are damages, they are damaged
what is another name for the cell body
perikaryon
where are nissl bodies located
in the cell body and the dendrites
what helps you distinguish from axon and cell body
the presence of nissl bodies
what carries information towards the cell and away from the cell
towards- dendrites
away- axon
dendrite have a greater what then axon
diameter
what part of the neuron produces atp and has mitochondria
axon
what is the membrane of the axon called
axolemma
what is inside the membrane of the axolemma
axoplasam
what makes up 99% of the neurons
inter neurons
multipolar
1 axon and two or more dendrites
bipolar
1 axon and 1 dendrite
unipolar
1 axon divides close to the cell body
what goes from cell body to the periphery using kinesin
anterograde
what goes from periphery to the cell body
retrograde
terminal portion of the axon is called what
bulb or BOUTON
what does axoaxonic mean
when axons come together and synapse
two kinds of synapse what are they
electrical and chemical
electrical synapses are in what part of the body
the smooth muscle and the cardiac muscle
