Q

whats the blue and green areas

A

blue = grey matter
green = white matter

17
Q

whats the black and yellow bits

A

black = neuron cell bodies

yellow = axons

18
Q

what are the purple and yellow impulses going to

A

purple = the back
yellow = front of body

19
Q

what are thr red, orange and blue bits

A

red = ventral root- so motor

orange = ventral rami- where motor goes to front of body

blue = dorsal rami- where motor goes to back of body

20
Q

name for a collection of neuronal cell bodies inside and outside CNS

A

inside = nuclei in brain or grey matter in spine
outside = ganglion

21
Q

sensory vs motor synapse postition

A

sensory synapses near brain
motor synapses near muscle

22
Q

in the PNS what do satellite cells do

A

surround neuron cell bodies

23
Q

in CNS wat do ependymal cells do

A

line ventricals and central canal of spinal cord

24
Q

in CNS what to astrocytes do x2

A

surround synapses and capillaries using foot processes
- maintain BBB

help in K+ buffering

25
Q

what does phagocytosis and scar tissue formation in CNS

A

microglia- instead of WBCs

26
Q

3 things that maintain the BBB

A
  1. tight junctions in epithelium
  2. thick basal lamina
  3. foot processes of astrocytes
27
Q

what substances can pass more easliy through the BBB X3

what does this mean for drugs

A

lipid, O2, H20

need to be lipid soluble or have suitable vectors

28
Q

what molecules need pumped past BBB x2

A

glucose
amino acids

29
Q

what are the red and purple things

A

red = falx cerebri
purple = tentorium cereBELLI

30
Q

what does the interventricular foramen do

A

connects the lateral and 3rd ventrical

31
Q

name the 3 mininges seen

A

purple = dural
green = arachnoid
pink = pia

32
Q

what space contains CSF

A

subarachnoid

33
Q

what memninge is vascularised

A

pia

34
Q

what does the subdural space contain

A

potential space

traversed by blood vessels penetrating into the CNS

35
Q

where is CSF present

A

ventricals and subarachnoid space

36
Q

where is CSF formed

A

choriod plexus

37
Q

where is CSF absorbed

A

by arachnoid villi into the saggital sinus

38
Q

how does CSF circulate

A

goes through the ventricles into 4th
where it enters into subarachnoid through 3 holes in the roof
