Neurobiology Flashcards
what are the 2 sections of the nervous system?
CNS, PNS
what is the PNS made up of?
Somatic, autonomic
what 2 fibers make up the autonomic nervous system?
-GVA (general visceral afferent) (sensory)
-GVE (general visceral efferent) (secretomotor-2 neuron pathway)
Neurons are made up of ____________
an axon (only ONE), dendrites (one or more), cell body
what are the different types of neurons? and what does each take part in?
-Unipolar: Embryogenesis
-Bipolar: 1 dendrite, 1 axon
Olfactory, cochlear, vestibular neurons
-Pseudounipolar: 1 axon that splits into 2, no dendrites, general sensory neurons
-Multipolar: 1 axon, many dendrites, motor neurons
what are the 4 types of neuroglia? and what do they do?
-Astroglia: monitors blood brain barrier
-Microglia: modified macrophage, cleans debris
-Oligodendrocyte: makes myelin
-Ependymal: uses cilia to beat CSF
what are the 2 supporting cells in the PNS? what do they do?
-Schwann cell: provides support can myelinate
-Satellite cell: associated with cell body
how long does the whole neural tube development take?
22-25 days
at 4 weeks there are ____ vesicles, and at 5 weeks there are ___ vesicles
3, 5
what are the 3 vesicles present at 4 weeks?
-Prosencephalon
-Mesencephalon
-Rhombencephalon
what are the 5 vesicles present at 5 weeks?
-Telencephalon
-Diencephalon
-Mesencephalon
-Metencephalon
-Mylencephalon
The Prosencephalon
develops into the _______ & _______
Telencephalon, Diencephalon
The Rhombencephalon develops into the ______ & ______
Metencephalon & Mylencephalon (hindbrain)
which cranial nerves develop from the Prosencephalon, Mesencephalon, and Rhombencephalon?
-Prosencephalon: Cranial nerve 1 & 2 develop from here
-Mesencephalon: Cranial nerve 3
-Rhombencephalon: Cranial nerve 4-12
The ________ in the spinal cord is equivalent to ventral horn (motor function)
Alar plate
