(41 cards)
Tissue macrophage remove debris
Microglia
Macroglia that forms myelin
Oligodendrocytes & Schwann cells
Regeneration and remyelination
Schwann cells
Envelope synapses and forms the BBB
Asteocytes
Astrocytes in the White matter
Fibrous astrocytes
Astrocytes in the Grey matter, maintains appropriate concentration of ions and NT
Protoplasmic astrocytes
Where NT receptors are found
Dendrites
Where organelles and nucleus is seen
Cell Body/ Soma
Normal nerve RMP
-70 mv
Only excitable cells
Consists of rapid depolarization/ upstroke followed by repolarization
Action Potential
Causes reduction of potassium leak out of the cells
Hyperpolarization
Where AP start
Initial Segment
Unmyelinated portion of the axon
Nodes of Ranvier
Transmitting portion
Axon
Branches of the Axon
Neural Fibril
Distal tips of the axon
Terminal Bouton (End feet)
Autoimmune disease marked by autoantibodies against voltage gated calcium channels which also prevents acetylcholine from being released to the NMJ
Lambert Eaton Myasthenia Gravis
Excitatory
Depolarizes
Inhibitory
Hyperpolarizes
Autoimmune disease directed against the components of the myelin sheath
Multiple Sclerosis
Distinct episodes of neurologic deficits that are separated in time and are attributable to patchy white matter lesions that are separate in space
Multiple sclerosis
Decrease in huntington and alzheimers
Acetylcholine
Where is NE found
Locus Coeruleus
Neuromodulator in CNS
Neurotransmitter in PNS
NE
