Nervous (2nd ppt) for quiz Flashcards
(46 cards)
THREE meningeal layers of the spinal cord
Dura mater, Arachnoid mater, Pia mater (DAP)
is between the PERIOSTEUM OF THE VERTBERAL CANAL and the DURA MATER
Epidural space
is between the ARACHNOID MATER and the PIA MATER
Subarachnoid space
is organized into COLUMNS which are subdivided into tracts (fasciculi or pathways), which consists of ASCENDING and DESCENDING axons
White matter
Gray matter is divided into horn
dorsal, ventral, lateral horns
contain sensory axons that synapse with interneurons
dorsal horns
contain the neuron cell bodies of somatic motor neurons
ventral horns
contain the neuron cell bodies of autonomic motor neurons
lateral horns
Stereotypic, unconscious, involuntary responses to stimuli
Reflexes
Mediated through the SOMATIC motor nervous system
somatic reflexes
mediated through the ANS(AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM)
Autonomic reflexes
Reflexes are integrated within the brain and the spinal cord
Spinal reflexes
Muscles spindles detect the stretch of the skeletal muscles and cause the muscle to shorten reflexively
Stretch reflex
Major Spinal Nerve plexuses
Cervical (C1-C4), Brachial (C5-T1) Lumbar (L1-L4), Sacral (L4-S4), Coccygeal (S5-Coccygeal)
the LUMBAR and the SACRAL plexuses are often considered together as the _____
Lumbosacral plexus
is the control center for many of the body’s functions
The brain
The brain consists of the
Brainstem, Cerebellum, Diencephalon, and Cerebrum
Brainstem consists of the :
Medulla oblongata, Pons, Midbrain
(under medulla oblongata) Regulate the heart, blood vessels, breathing, swallowing, vomiting, coughing, sneezing, hiccupping, balance and coordination
Medullary nuclei
Superior to medulla
Pons
(under pons) regulate breathing, swallowing, balance, chewing, and salivation
Pontine nuclei
Superior to pons
Midbrain
Consists of FOUR colliculi (inferior and superior)
Corpora quadrigemina
(under midbrain) ___ and ___ help regulate body movements
substantia nigra and red nucleus
