Appendix Flashcards
(36 cards)
What does Rostral mean?
-Anterior/ in front of
What does Caudal mean?
-Posterior/behind
Dorsal vs ventral
-Dorsal is behind, ventral is the belly.
KEEP IN MIND THE AXIS
lpsilateral
-means same side
contralateral
-means against or across
Telencephalon includes?
- Part of the forebrain (Prosencephalon)
- Cerebral cortex
- Cerebral nuceli (basal ganglia, amygdala, base forebrain
- associated with lateral ventricles
Diencephalon includes?
- Part of Forebrain (Prosencephalon)
- thalamus
- Hypothalamus
- retina
- associated with third ventricle
Mesencephalon includes?
- Is the midbrain
- Superior and inferior colliculi
- Red nucleus
- Substantia nigra
- associated with cerebral aqueduct
Metencephalon includes?
- Part of the hindbrain (Rhombencephalon)
- cerebellum
- pons
- associated with fourth ventricle
Myelencephalon includes?
- Part of the hindbrain (Rhombencephalon)
- Medulla oblongata
- associated with fourth ventricle
Division of the Dorsal horn contains?
- I Marginal zone
- II Substantia gelatinosa
- III/IV Nucleus proprius
- V/VI Base of dorsal horn
Division of the Intermediate zone (lateral horn) contains?
-VII intermediate gray
Division of Ventral horn contains?
- VIII Motor interneurons
- IX motor neuron columns
Division of the Central zone contains?
-X Central gray
Marginal zone significance
-Projection neurons that receive input from small-diameter afferents; one source of anterolateral system projections
Substantia gelatinosa significance
-Interneurons that receive input mainly from small-diameter afferents; integrates feedforward and feedback (descending) inputs modulate pain transmission
Nucleus proprius significance
-interneurons that integrate inputs from small- and large-diameter afferents
Base of dorsal horn significance
-Projection neurons that receive input from both large-and small-diameter afferents and spinal interneurons; another source of anterolateral system projections
Intermediate gray significance
-Mainly interneurons that communicate between dorsal and ventral horns; in the thoracic cord, also contains projection neurons of the dorsal nucleus of Clarke, a spinocerebellar relay
Motor interneurons significance (in the ventral horn division)
-Interneurons in the medial aspect of ventral horn that coordinate the activities of lower motor neurons
Motor neuron columns significance
-Columns of lower motor neurons that govern limb musculature
Central gray significance
-Interneurons surrounding the rudiment of the central canal
Cranial nerve I
- Olfactory
- Function is smell
- Sensory
Cranial nerve II
- Optic
- Function is vision
- Sensory
