Q

What are the parts of a typical neuron

A
  1. soma (cell body): contains nucleus and nucleolus, & nissl bodies
  2. Dendritic process
  3. Axon: axon hillock, axon terminal

Q

soma means

A

cell body; large eukaromatic nuclueus, nucleoulus, and granules called nissl bodes; rough collections of rough ER. We see them everywhere EXCEPT axon hillock.

Q

what are dendrites and its features

A
  1. Neuronal processes that transmit signal toward soma.
  2. Unmyelinated
  3. arborize into dendritic trees
  4. dentdritic spines inc area for synapses to form.

Q

Describe axon and its features

A
  1. Transmits signal AWAY from soma
  2. Arises from soma at axon hillock
  3. Terminates in synaptic bulb
  4. may be myelinated
  5. few branches
  6. may synapse on soma, dendrite, or synaptic bulb of another neuron

Q

what are the basic neuron types

A
  1. Bipolar: sensory neuron ( 1 dendrite and 1 axon)
  2. Pseudounipolar: sensory; acts as single axon. may have free endings for sensation.
  3. Multipolar; motor neurons; multiple dendrites coming off and single axon.
  4. Pyrimidal cell: dendritic processes come off as a tree; cell body also has triangular appearance in cross section.

16
Q

Where do you find bipolar and psuedounipolar neurons?

A

look this up

17
Q

What are the PNS support cells

A
  1. Schwann cells: support axons; produce myelin

2. satellite cells: support soma

18
Q

Even unmyelinated nerve fibers have :

A

schwann cells

19
Q

of times it wraps around is determined by:

A

the nerve fiber with its surface proteins telling the schwann cell how to interact. ; determines the thickness of the myelin sheath.

20
Q

what are nodes of ranvier

A

provides site where we could have branching of axons and also axo-axonal synapses. Has to happen in these gaps.

21
Q

What are the support cells of the CNS

A

neuroglia

22
Q

What are the types of neuroglia

A
  1. Oligodendrocytes: produce myelin; assoc with multiple axons.
  2. Astrocytes: provide neurons with nutrients, removes wastes; forms blood brain barrier.
  3. Microglia: phagocytose debris in nervous tissue
  4. Ependymal cells: line ventricles; produce CSF (choroid plexus)
23
Q

What happens if damage is too great

A
  1. Portion of nerve fiber distal to injury degenerates, myelin sheath also fragments
  2. Within the neuronal cell body, the nucleus moves peripherally instead of centrally and Nissl bodies degenerate. If damage is too great and neuron cant regenerate cell will die.
24
Q

What if damage is not that bad

A

The basal lamina of the schwann cell remains and guides repair if possible. Scar forms, produces by CT within basal lamina skeleton. Schwann cells divide and create a tube around the CT. Neuronal process will regenerate within the tube of schwann cells.

25
Q

Neuronal cell bodies loc in the PNS are clustered in

A

ganglia

26
Q

What are the neuronal cell bodies in the PNS

A
  1. sensory
  2. sympathetic
  3. parasympathetic
27
Q

Describe parasympathetic ganglia

A
  1. Based on size
  2. On walls of organs
  3. Cluster of a dozen of neurons
  4. cell bodies of post ganglionic autonimc neurons
  5. Have a lot of smooth muscle tissue (dark pink staining )
  6. motor neurons; multipolar shaped
28
Q

describe sympathetic ganglia

A
  1. Cells are more dense in tissue
  2. nucleus of Cell body are located in the periphery.
  3. post ganglionic cell bodies
  4. motor neurons; multipolar shaped
29
Q

Describe sensory (dorsal) root ganglia

A
  1. Nucleus are located centrally
  2. contain cell bodies of affarent neurons
  3. Can see nuclei of satellite cells around it
  4. psudounipolar shaped
30
Q

Describe features of synpases and what they are

A

Includes synaptic bulb, synaptic cleft, postsynaptic membrane

31
Q

What are the three types of synapses

A

Axodendritic: Between axon and dendrite.
Axosomatic: Directly on cell body.
Axoaxonal: Directly to axons
