PNS Flashcards
afferents
toward brain
efferents
away from brain
somatic sensory (afferent)
skin, bones, muscles, joints
visceral sensory (afferent)
viscera of thoracic and abdominal region > heart, lungs, stomach, urinary bladder
somatic motor (efferent)
skeletal muscle
visceral (automatic) motor
glands, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle
CNS
brain and spinal cord (nucleus-cell bodies) and tracts (axons)
PNS
nerves (axons) and receptors (ganglia-cell bodies)
nerves are protected by three connective tissue coverings
endoneurium (neurolemma)
perineurium
epineurium
neurolemma is made of a
nucleated cytoplasmic layer of the schwann cell
what neurons are the only ones that can repair
the ones with a neurolemma
blindness, speech deficits, tremors, numbness are symptoms of
multiple sclerosis
what degenerates in multiple sclerosis
myelin sheaths and oligodendrocytes in CNS
cervical plexus (C1-C5)
lesser occipital nerve great auricular nerve transverse cervical nerve supraclavicular nerve phrenic nerve suprascapular
schwann cells produce
neurilemma
