Study for test 3 Flashcards
What is an Axonic neuron
Smallest, not axons and dendrites, and found in sensory organs.
What is a Unipolar Neuron?
1 process that the dendrite and axon, found in sensory organs.
What is a Bipolar Neuron?
2 process with cell body off to one side, found in sensory organs.
What is a multipolar neuron?
Many processes, 1 axon with many dendrites and found in places motor neurons are.
What is a sensory neuron?
going towards the CNS and are mostly unipolar. They are found in the parts that are near sensory integration.
What is an interneruon?
Are the intermediate of the two, processing information, and are found in the brain.
What is a motor neuron?
Going away from the CNS and are mostly multipolar. They are found near where motor neurons are present.
What is the 6 types of neruoglia?
Schwann Cells, Satellite Cells, Astrocytes, Oligodendrocytes, Microglia, and Ependyma
What does a Schwann Cell do?
Surround axons to create Myalin Sheath
What does a satellite cell do?
Surround Cell bodies
What does an Astrocyte do?
- maintain a blood brain barrier, create a 3D framework, repair damaged neural tissue, guide neuron development, and control interstitial environment.
What does an Oligodendrocyte do?
Makes a myelin sheath
What does a mircoglia do?
- migrate through neural tissue, perform phagocytosis or removal of bacteria or other debris.
What does an ependyma do?
form the ependyma, which produces and circulates cerebral spinal fluid.
What are nerves made of? what is that certain thing made of further?
Axons, C.T.
What are the 3 types of C.T. layers?
o epineurium, which surrounds the whole nerve.
o perineurium, which surrounds a bundle of axons.
o endoneurium, which surrounds a single axon
What are the parts of the Outer ear?
Auricle, External Auditory meatus, and Tympanic Membrane
What does the auricle do?
Protects the ear
What does the External auditory meatus do?
The canal that lets sound in, can also grow hairs and has the ceruminous gland that makes ear wax
What are the parts of the middle ear?
Tympanic membrane, Eustachian tube, Oval window, Tensor tympanic membrane, stapedius msucle, Auditory ossicles.
What’s the function of the eustachian tube?
Equalizes the pressure in the ear
What is the function of the oval window?
Vibrates from the stapes
What’s the function of the tensor tympanic muscle?
When constricted, reduces vibrations
Function of the stapedius muscle?
When constricted, reduces vibrations
Function of the auditory ossicles?
Vibrate at the same level as the tympanic membrane to carry vibrations along
Parts of the inner ear?
Oval window, semicircular canals, vesitbule, cochlea, round window, boney labyrinth, perilymph, vestibular membrane, endolymph, cochlear ducts, basilar membrane, memberous labyrinth, and hair cells.
Function of semicircular canals?
Sense acceleration of the head, linear and rotationally
Function of Vestibule?
Senses head position and movement
Function of Cochlea
transmits sound to the auditory nerve
Function of round window
the end of the cochlea, decompresses energy of vibrations
Function of the boney labyrinth?
The outer tube of the tubes, holds perilymph
Function of the perilymph
Fluid within the cochlea, carries vibrations
