P1 ANATOMY DEMO Flashcards
ANATOMY DEMONSTRATION PROBLEM 1
spinal segment that does not have a dermatome
C1
brachial plexus is formed by
ventral rami of C5 to T1
sensation of the face is carried by which nerve
by trigeminal nerve
mention the 3 trigeminal nerve branches
- ophthalmic
- maxillary
- mandibular
dorsal root ganglion will carry which type of information
sensory information
ventral root ganglion will carry which type of information
motor information / commands
what is a dermatome
dorsal root ganglion will carry which type of information
why is it the if we have only 1 spinal nerve injured
there will be no significant area of numbness
due to the overlapping between the spinal nerves
Dermatome of C5
lateral side of the elbow
dermatome of C7
DORSAL SURFACE OF MIDDLE finger
T1 dermatome
medial side of elbow
T4 dermatome
midclavicular line at the level of the nipple
T10 dermatome
level of umbilicus
L3 dermatome
medial femoral condyle above the knee
L4 dermatome
over the medial malleolus
L5 dermatome
dorsum of the foot over the 3rd metatarsal phalangeal joint
S1 dermatome
lateral aspect of the heel ( little toe )
S4-S5 dermatome
perianal area
which dorsal nerve root is affected in this patient
T3
if there is numbness in this area , which dermatome is affected
( yellow arrow )
C8
functional unit structure of the nervous tissue
neuron
function of neurons
reception , integration & motor functions
function of neuroglial cells
support & protection
cytoplasmic processes in the neuron that are responsible for receiving stimuli
dendrites
impulses received by dendrites are transmitted to
soma / cell body
cytoplasmic process in the neuron that are responsible for conducting impulses away from the cell body
axon
golden brown irregular granules that increase with age
inclusions / lipofuscin
inclusions / lipofuscins are remnants of
lysosomal enzymatic activity
cytoskeletal components that are unique to nerve cells
neurofilaments
fat like substance covering axons seen in CNS & PNS
myelin
myelin in the CNS is produced by
Oligodendrocytes
myelin in the PNS is produced by
Schwann cells
main types of neurons
- bipolar
- multipolar
- pseudo-unipolar
pseudo-unipolar nerves are seen at
dorsal root ganglion
bipolar nerves are seen at
- retina
- olfactory & spiral ganglia of cochlea
multipolar nerves are seen at
- the Ant. horn cells of spinal cord
- purkinje cells of cerebellum
- pyramidal neurons
site of transmission of nerve impulses
synapse
mention the 5 types of neuroglial cells
- oligodendrocytes
- Schwann cells
- astrocytes
- microglia
- ependyma
star shapes cells in the CNS forming BBB
astrocytes
CNS phagocytic cells
microglial cells
CNS cells that are responsible for the formation of CSF
EPENDYMA
simple cuboidal or columnar ciliated with microvilli cells lines the ventricles of the brain
ependymal cells
