Nerve tissue (Lecture 9) Flashcards

1
Q

What are the neurohistological methods?

A

Staining:

  • Nissl - toluidine blue, thionin - cytology of neurons (Nissl’s bodies, nucleu and nucleoli)
  • Luxol blue - myelin sheets, phospholipids
  • Weigert - myelin sheets (mordant - chromium salts)

Impregnation:

  • Demonstrates neurons and their processes - precipitates of metal silver on neurofibrils (neurotubules and neurofilaments).
  • Demonstrates glial cells.

Immunohistochemistry:

  • Demonstrates specific antigens of neurons (neurotubules) and neuroglia (GFAP - intermediate filaents - nestin).

Q

What are neuroglia?

A

CNS:

  • Macroglia - astrocytes fibrillar and plasmatic, Bergmann cells, Muller cells, pituicytes, ependymal cells
  • Oligodendroglia - myelinization
  • Microglia - phagocytosis (mesenchyal origin)

PNS:

  • Schwann cells - insulation and myelinization
  • Satelite cells - insulation of ganglionic neurons

Q

What are nerve fibres?

A
  • Naked - without glial sheet
  • Only rarely found
  • Intraepithelial free nerve endings
  • Cornea of the eye

With glial sheet:

  • In CNS - processes of glial cells
  • In PNS - Schwann cells

Myelinated - internodal segment of the myelin sheet

  • In CNS - in the cytoplasm of the oligodendrocyte processus
  • In PNS - in the cytoplasm of the Schwann cell
