23
Q

However, in the PNS the Schwann cells that had formed the
myelin sheath remain viable, and in fact they undergo cell
division. what do you call this?

A

wallerian degeneration

24
Q

herpes zoster virus invades what part of the CNS?

A

dorsal root ganglion

25
Q

causative agent of tetanus

A

clostridium tetani

26
Q

tetanus toxin vs botulinum toxin, which is flaccid, spastic?

A

spastic-tetanus; flaccid- botulinum

27
Q

clostridum tetani MOA?

A

delivery of toxin to inhibitory neurons; GABA and glycin are not produced; excitatory signal overwhelms and then muscles go extreme spasm.

28
Q

The difference in voltage (or electrical potential difference) between the interior and exterior of a cell

A

Membrane potential or transmembrane potential

29
Q

results from the separation of positive and negative charges across the cell membrane

A

membrane potential

30
Q

For a potential difference to be present across a membrane lipid bilayer, two conditions must be met

A

First, there must be an unequal distribution of ions of one or more type across the membrane (ie, a concentration gradient). Second, the membrane must be permeable to these ions. The permeability is provided by the existence of channels or pores in the bilayer; these channels are usually permeable to a single type of ion

31
Q

what maintains the separation of charges?

A

Lipid bilayer

32
Q

outside the cell which ion has higher concentration? how about inside?

A

Sodium is high outside; potassium is high inside. (PISO) basta tandaan na ang pumapasok ang sodium pag action potential so siya yung nasa labas.

33
Q

Is the tendency for the ion to diffuse

A

diffusion potential

34
Q

T or F? Equilibrium potential is based on the charge outside the cell.

A

F; it should be inside the cell.

35
Q

What is the Physiological Significance of the Membrane

Potential?

A

No membrane potential no action potential; No membrane potential no returning of ion channels to
inactive states

36
Q

Potential difference across the axon plasma membrane of a

neuron not sending signals (not firing)

A

Resting membrane potential

37
Q

most important and major contributor of the three mechanisms by which Resting Membrane Potential is generated

A

Transmembrane K gradient thru non gated K leak channels (potassium leak channels)

38
Q

RMP of a neuron

A

-70

39
Q

Three important mechanisms by which Resting Membrane Potential is generated

A
  1. Transmembrane K gradient thru non gated K leak channels (potassium leak channels)
  2. Donnan effect (Gibbs-Donnan Equilibrium)
  3. Na K ATPase Pump
40
Q

Used to measure the actual value of RMP
 Utilizes the concentration and permeability of ALL THE IONS involved
 More accurate

A

Goldman-hodgkin-katz Voltage equation

41
Q

a name for the behaviour of charged particles near a semi-permeable membrane that sometimes fail to distribute evenly across the two sides of the membrane.

A

Donnan effect (Gibbs-Donnan Equilibrium)

42
Q

Na K ATPase pump: how many sodium and potassium?

A

3 Na out; 2 K in (Trina, out!!! antu K-in!)

43
Q

what would happen if sodium potassium pump fails?

A

Sodium will be trapped inside the cells, water follows and it will lead to lysis.

44
Q

A shift in membrane potential in positive direction when sodium ions enter the cell

A

depolarization

45
Q

is the process of adding things up. In the case of nervous system, it is about adding up the effect of multiple stimuli, that are all individually subthreshold, so that together they can reach suprathreshold or beyond threshold and are able to generate an action potential (a response).

A

Summation

46
Q

Fleeting, self-renewing wave of depolarization (positive wave) that propagates without decrement along the entire length of a nerve axon at high speed.

A

Action potential

47
Q

Where is Action Potential Generated?

A

Axon hillock

48
Q

Period during which a nerve or muscle is incapable of responding to stimulation, especially following a previous stimulation

A

Refractory Period

49
Q

Hypokalemia, what symptoms? Hyponatremia?

A

weakness and eventual paralysis; depressionof sensorium

50
Q

The Limbic Lobe is surrounded by 3 gyri

A

Cingulate, Subcallosal, Parahippocampal

51
Q

Hippocampus is made up of 3 important structures:

A

Dentate gyrus, hippocampal gyrus, Subiculum or subicular cortex

52
Q

Sommer’s sector: what sector of hippocampus?

A

CA1

53
Q

collateral branches between CA 1 and CA3 is called?

A

Schauffer Collaterals

54
Q

CA1 cells are sensitive to anoxia (an absence or deficiency of oxygen reaching the tissues). Why?

A

CA1 cells produce Glutamate which make the area excitatory therefore needing O2

55
Q

CA2? CA3? what are the names of these sectors of hippocampus?

A

Dorsal Resistant Sector; Spielmeyer sector

56
Q

The axons of the Granule Cell layer project into the CA3 region. They are called

A

Mossy Fibers

57
Q

Almond shaped nucleus deep in the medial temporal lobe

 Function: Integrative center for emotions, emotional behavior, and motivation

A

Amygdala
