Neuronal Flashcards
Astrocytes
CNS Neuroglia that form BBB
Olgiodendrocytes
CNS Neuroglia that form myelin sheath
Microglia
CNS Neuroglia immune cells (phagocytic)
Ependymal cells
CNS Neuroglia that produce CSF and make up ependyma lining
Satellite cells
PNS Neuroglia that surround cell bodies (like astrocytes)
Schwann cells (neurolemmocytes)
PNS Neuroglia that consist of axolemma and neurolemma (like ogliodentrocytes)
Somatic vs ANS neurons
Somatic have just one neutron from brain to effector
ANS have two (Pre - Post)
Sympathetic cell body location
Grey matter of the thoracic and lumbar sections
Parasympathetic cell body location
grey matter of the sacral sections
Sympathetic Path to periphery
-Can synapse in Sympathetic chain
-Direct mediation (adrenal medulla)
-Other ganglion
White / grey Ramus
the bridges to sympathetic chain (white is from spinal cord) (Grey is effectors)
Parasympathetic pathway to periphery
Ganglion are located near the effector organ
4 aspects of stimulus encoding
1.Modality
2.Location
3.Intensity
4.Duration
Law of specific nerve energies
A given sensory receptor is specific for each modality
Nociceptor channel type
TRP (transient receptor potential channels)
