Nervous Tissues 1 and 2 Flashcards
Neural tube & neural crest cells differentiate into two types of cells
- Neuron (N)
- Glial cell (G)
Neurons are ____ than Glial and have a _____ nuclei
Bigger and euchromatic
Neurons have ______ cytoplasm
glial cells have ______ cytoplasm
Basophilic(purple in staining)
poorly-staining
Neuron and Glial
- Glial cells
- Nerve Bodies
Neurons are more _____ in protein synthesis
active.. think about their euchromatin
“-lemma” means
“-plasm” means
“perikaryon” means
“Nissl” refers to
plasma membrane
cytoplasm
cell body
ribosomes
3 morphology of neurons
- Biopolar
- Pseudo-unipolar
- Multipolar
Multipolar neuron –
Two or more dendrites extend from cell body One axon extends from cell body
Most abundant type (in CNS & PNS)
Bipolar neuron –
One dendrite extends from cell body
One axon extends from cell body
Restricted to organs of sight, taste, and balance
Pseudounipolar (unipolar) neuron –
Single axon splits into two main processes Peripheral process extends to a peripheral location Central process extends to the CNS
Found in spinal and most cranial ganglia
What class of meurons
Motor (efferent) neuron –
Sends signals to effect organs
Somatic motor under voluntary control Visceral motor under involuntary control
Multipolat
What Morphology
Sensory (afferent) neuron – Receives stimuli from outside body Transmits signal to CNS
Unipolar or Biopolar
Integrative (inter)neuron – Links different types of neurons Establishes a signal circuit
Most abundant type in CNS
Multipolar
The Neuron itself is basophillic(purple stain) but does the axon hillock also stain basophillic
no
What are the blue arrows
Dendrites
What staining is used for dendrites
Silver
Whats the dotted line
Axon
Axon has no nissl bodies
What is the initial segment of the axon fxn
Action Potential
Axon is the red line
Yellow
Blue
Green
Yellow: Mitocondria
Blue: Microtubules used for bidirectional transport
Green: Neruofillament = structure
What are the blue and why are they hallow
What are the green
Blue = Microtubule… TUBE/Hallow
Green: Neurofillaments…Actin woven
Anterograde
– transport of organelles & molecules away from cell body
