Nerves extending out of the brain are called _ nerves
cranial nerves
Nerves extending out of the spinal cord are called _ nerves
spinal nerves
Which cranial nerves are apart of the CNS?
CN1 and CN2
By week 4, the neural tube forms which three primary brain vesicles?
the forebrain, the midbrain and the hindbrain
Where does the spinal cord originate from?
The end of the neural tube, not one of the primary brain vesicles
Where do the ventricles originate from?
The central canal of the original neural tube
Which adult brain structures come from the prosencephalon?
cerebrum(grey and white matter), thalamus, hypothalamus, retina, 1,2,3 ventricle
Which adult brain structures come from mesencephalon?
Midbrain and central aqueduct
Which adult brain structures originate from the rhomboncephalon?
brain stem(pons, medulla), cerebellum, 4th ventricle
Identify Sulcus and Fissures
OK
The spinal cord ends at the _ and extends out to form the _
Conus medullaris, cauda equina
Spinal nerves contain axons of which type of neuron(s)?
Sensory and somatic motor neurons
In the dorsal horn, what type of neuron terminates
Primary Sensory neuron
The cell bodies(soma) of primary sensory neurons are found in the dorsal root ganglion. Where are the cell bodies of somatic motor neurons found?
The ventral horn of the grey H
In the brain, gray matter is on the outside and white matter on the inside, is the same true for spinal cord?
No, its the opposite
Funiculus
White matter portions of the spinal cord(right, left, dorsal, ventral)
Where are tracts located in the spinal cord?(grey or white)
Within the white matter, the funiculus
Tracts with sensory axons are mixed or not mixed with motor axons?
Sensory and Motor are not mixed in tracts, unlike spinal nerves
Ascending tracts conducting sensory impulses to the brain contain
sensory axons
Descending tracts conducting motor impulses away from the brain contain
motor axons
Spinal nerve is formed from the ‘connection point’ between
primary sensory neurons(in the dorsal root) and somatic motor neurons(in the ventral root)
Neuron type in dorsal horn
Sensory and interneuron
Neuron type in ventral horn
interneuron and motor
neuron type found in dorsal root ganglion
sensory
