Exam 1 Flashcards
Composed of the Brain and Spinal cord
Central nervous system CNS
Composed of the nerves
1) cranial nerves
2) spinal nerves
Peripheral nervous system PNS
I) olfactory II) optic III) oculmotor IV) Trochlear V) Trigeminal VI)Abducens VII) Facial VIII) Vestibularcochlear IX) Glossopharyngeal X) Vagus XI) Accessory XII) Hypoglossal
Cranial Nerves
I) Cervical spinal nerves C1 - C8 II) Thoractic spinal nerve T1 - T12 III) Lumbar spinal nerves L1 - L5 IV) Sacral spinal nervs S1- S5 V) Coccygeal C0
Spinal nerves
- Neurons that carry info from the body to the CNS
* Sensory (pain&pressure)
Afferent
- Neurons that carry orders from the CNS to the rest of the body
- Motor
Efferent
1) skin
2) skeletal muscle
3) joints
Somatic sensory afferent
*Internal organs
Visceral afferent
To skeletal muscles
*Motor
Somatic efferent
- viscera
- includes:
1) cardiac muscle
2) smooth muscle
3) Glands
- includes:
Autonomic nervous system
Sympathetic- “flight or fight”
Parasympathetic- “rest & digest”
Types of Autonomic NS
Neuroglia Astrocytes Oligodendrocyte Microglia Ependymal Cells Schwann Cells Satellite Cells
Cell Types
1st. Cell type in neuroglia. Support-Scar Feed- supply lactose f/ glucose Help growth Protect- blood brain barrier
Astrocytes
*Myelin sheaths in CNS
Oligodendrocytes
*act as immune cells in CNS
Microglia
*make & move cerebrospinal fluid
Ependymal cells
Produce myelin sheaths on the axons of neurons in the PNS
Schwann cells
Surrounded neurons in PNS
Satellite cells
Can be Multipolar, unipolar, bipolar
Neuron
*receiving end of neuron
Has local potentials
Dendrite
*in part of neuron that opens sodium gates= hypoplarization
Excitatory post-synaptic potential EPSP
*in part of neuron that opens potassium (goes out) and chloride (goes in) =hyperpolarization
Inhibitory post-synaptic potential IPSP
- AKA soma
Has only graded potentials
Cell body
Trigger of action potentials
Axonal Hillock
Neuron that dumps excitatory NT in the synaptic cleft one at a time.
1st. Pre synaptic
Multiple pre-synaptic neurons release NTs, taht can lead to a Action potential.
2nd. Spatial summation
All or nothing
Can propagate al the axon
Action potentials
Inceased effciency with increased use.
Also dendritic branching and pruning (break down of term. Bulbs)
Synaptic potentiation
Are myelinated
Saltatory conduction- dramatically fast AP
Myelin sheath
Are not myelinated
Continuous conduction- have AP but do not spread as fast.
Nonmyelinated sheath
Are vesicles of NTs
Terminal bulbs / synaptic knobs
*sensory
Include unipolor amd bipolar
Are cell bodies in sensory ganglion, out side of CNS.
Afferent Neuron
*Motor
Is multipolar
Cell bodies are in CNS
Efferent neurons
Are between neurons
Interneurons
Is a cluster of nerve cell bodies in PNS
Ex: in dorsal root ganglion
Ganglion
Cluster of nerve cell bodies in CNS
Ex: basal nuclei
Nucleus
Bundle of processes(axons) in PNS
Nerves
Bundles of processes(axons) in CNs
