horns

A

grey matter

20
Q

thin posterior (dorsal)

A
  • thin

- neuron cell bodies for somatic visceral sensory neculi

21
Q

large anterior (ventral)

A
  • motor
  • large
  • contain cell bodies for symatic neurons
22
Q

small lateral

A
  • thorastic and lumbar

- visceral motor neculi (none in neck)

23
Q

grey commissures

A
  • 2

- connects horns on left and right to communicate

24
Q

rootlets

A
  • 6 to 8 associated with grey matter

- comes together to form dorsal and ventral roots

25
Q

dorsal root ganglion

A
  • collection of neuron cell bodies

- carries sensory information

26
Q

cervical plexus

A
  • c1 to c4
  • roots and branches
  • phrenic nerve (diaphragm)
27
Q
  • C5 to T1
  • trunks
  • named for position in respect to axilary artery
A

brachial plexus

28
Q

lumbar plexus

29
Q

major nerves from lumbar plexus

A

-genitfemoral
_lateral femoral cutaneous
-femoral nerve
-saphenous

30
Q

spinal nerves of sacral plexus

31
Q

2 major nerves fro sacral plexus

A
  • sciatic ____> fibular and tibial

- pudendal

32
Q

MS

A
  • localized brain lesions
  • demyelination of neurons in brain and spinal cord myelin sheaths become hard causing poor conduction of action potentials
33
Q

spina bifida

A
  • congenital defect of veretebral column L5 and/or L1 fail to unite at midline
  • menigies and/or spinal cord may protrude through defect in laminae
34
Q

Poliomyelitis (Polio)

A

-caused by poliovirus produces paralysis bu destroying all bodies of motor neurons

35
Q

meningitis

A
  • inflammation of meninges due to infection usually by bacteria or virus.
  • pus may accumulate in subarachnoid space; disrupting CFS
  • stiffness in neck, headache and fever, paralysis, coma or death
36
Q

shingles

A
  • acute infection of peripheral nervous system
  • caused by herpes zoster
  • survives in dorsal (posterior) root ganglion—>sensory neurons of skin by fast ___ transport
  • pain, skin discoloration, skin blisters
37
Q

tabes dorsalis

A
  • progressive, untreated syphilis
  • wasting away of dorsal roots and columns
  • symptoms: ataxia–> anesthesia–>paralysis
38
Q

myocradial infraction (MI) (heart attack)

A

when blood flow to an area of the heart is blocked, oxygen and nutrients fail to reach its cells. waste products are not removed and the muscle cells die

39
Q

some women’s heart attack symptoms seem more ___ like

40
Q

life threatening complications that can result from either too much insulin or too little food

A

insulin reaction or hyperglycemia

41
Q

__ and ___ may also lead to insulin reaction in people with diabetes

A

vomiting; diarrhea

42
Q

glucose tablets

A

quick source of sugar for diabetics

43
Q

first signs of insulin reaction

A
  • feeling weak or different
  • nervousness
  • dizziness
  • perspiration
44
Q

having too little insulin in the body resulting from infections (especially UTIs) undiagnosed diabetes, not enough insulin, eating too much, not enough exercise, or stress

A

diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemia

45
Q

involuntary, often violent, contractions of muscles caused by abnormalities in the brain
