NS Flashcards
Multipolar
motor neurons + interneurons
Pseudo-unipolar
typical sensory
Bipolar
special senses
Endoneurium
connective tissue surrounding individual nerve fires/ axons
Perineurium
Surrounds bundle nerve fibres/vasicle
Epineurium
Surrounds entire nerve + associated capillaries
Grey matter
neuronal cell bodies + synpases
White matter
Myelinated axons
CNS
brain + spinal chord. receives interprets and takes action.
PNS
cranial + spinal nerves. detects change in environment + responds via innervation muscles and viscera. 43 nerves. 31 spinal. 12 cranial. Axons supported schwann cells.
SNS/ANS
SNS = voluntary and conscious. Skeletal, pain. Detects outside body. ANS= involuntary para and sym. Detects inside body- viscera. Regulated hypothalamus. Cardiac, smooth muscle + glands.
Cell body pre- synaptic = cns
Cell body post = near target organ
Nerves
axons in PNS
Tracts
Axons within CNS
Nuclei
neuronal cell bodies with CNS grey
Ganglia
neuronal cell bodies within PNS
