PNS anatomy Flashcards
spinal nerves
31 paris
8 - cervical
12 - thoracic
5 - lumbar
5 - sacral
1 - coccygeal
dorsal ramus
carry motor info to muscle (deep back)
carry sensory from skin of back
ventral ramus
carry motor anterior thorax + extremities
carry sensory from same
epineurium
extension dura mater
surround entire nerve trunk
perineurium
extension arachnoid
wraps bundles of fibers into fascicles
endoneurium
surround each individual axon
*Schwann cells between endoneurium and membrane of axon
motor neuron
ventral horn
sensory neuron
peripheral ganglia (DRG)
ANS neuron
brainstem, spinal cord and peripheral ganglia
age-related change
peri+epi thicken
endo fibrosis with increase collagen
decrease # myelinated and unmyelinated
ventral more effected (motor)
1st degree damage (Sunderland)
neuroapraxia
myelin
