Q

t/f. there is a lot of myelin in neurites.

A

25
environmental influences for neurite outgrowth
chemoattraction, chemo repulsion, contact attraction, contact repulsion
26
fascicles
bundles of axons
27
stabilization of axons
interaction between neuron and target structure; influence connection type and number
28
mechanism of stabilization
apoptosis to eliminate axons that don't reach the normal target and connection errors, and to reduce the size of neuronal pool to match target or presynaptic input
29
what is epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT)?
when NCC slowly lose thier epithelial characteristics like gap junctions, cell adhesion, and become mobile, non polar, and gain integrins
30
3 divisions of NCCs
cranial, circumpharyngeal, trunk
31
what do cranial NCCs form?
tissues of the face
32
what do circumpharyngeal | NCCs form?
vagal and cardiac crest cells
33
precursors to parasympathetic innervation
vagal crest cells
34
what is the most diverse division of NCC that leave after the NT closes?
trunk NCC
35
3 pathways of trunk NCC
dorsolateral, ventrolateral, ventral
36
dorsolateral cells
melanocytes
37
ventrolateral cells
sensory ganglia
38
ventral cells
sympathoadrenal (chromaffin cells, sympathetic ganglia and neurons)
39
albinism
neurocristopathy with pigmentation defect
40
neurofibromatosis
neurocristopathy with peripheral nerve tumors
41
DiGeorge syndrome
neurocrisopathy affecting the development of the craniofacial and cardiovascular system
42
components of CNS
brain and spinal cord
43
components of PNS
nerves (sensory and motor)
44
sensory (afferent) neurons
signals from receptors to the CNS
45
motor (efferent) neurons
signals from the CNS to affector tissues
46
interneurons
signals between neurons
47
neuroglial cell funciton
provide neuronal support and nutrition, maintain homeostasis, form myelin, participates in transmission
48
neuron characteristics
conducting potential, longevity, amitotic, high metabolic rate
49
nissl body
neuronal RER in the soma, aka "gray matter"
50
dendrite function
receive impulses and carry them to soma, increase surface area
51
axon function
carry AP away from soma, originate at axon hillock
52
3 parts of synapse
presynaptic neuron (send neurotransmitters), synaptic cleft, postsynaptic neuron (receptors on surface)
53
neuronal resting potential
-70mV
54
t/f. the cell is more negative on the outside of the cell
FALSE. more negative on the inside
55
what do leaky Na+ channels do?
aka graded potentials, allow of a little of Na to leak in and cause the dendrite to be depolarized. if the initial GP is sufficient, it can spread to the axon hillock and allow voltage gated ion channel to open for an AP
56
types of glial cells
astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, ependymal cells, schwann cells, satellite cells
57
astrocytes
CNS largest and most numerous, maintains BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER, controls ionic environment, assists in migration of developing neurons
58
oligodendrocytes
CNS | produce and maintain insulating MYELIN sheaths that surround the neurons
59
microglia
CNS specialized IMMUNE CELLS derived from wbcs that act as macrophages, clears unwanted cellular debris caused by cns lesions
60
ependymal cells
CNS form lining of fluid filled ventricles of CNS, cuboidal/columnar cells and are a source of cerebrospinal fluid, circulates CSF with cilia
61
satellite cells
PNS surround neuronal cells in ganglia, provide structural and metabolic SUPPORT for neurons (insulation and efficient metabolic exchange)
62
schwann cells
PNS | myelinate a SINGLE portion of a SINGLE axon
63
t/f. an axon with a small diameter conducts an AP faster than one with a large diameter.
false. axons with larger diameters have less resistance and can conduct an AP faster
64
CT organization of the PNS
endoneurium surrounds each axon, perineurium surrounds bundles of neurons (fascicles), epineurium surrounds all the fascicles
65
dura mater
dense CT continuous with perosteum, simple squamous epithelium along internal surface
66
arachnoid
trabeculae attach to pia mater and create subarachnoid space with HA cushioning, Ct with no blood
67
pia mater
loose/dense CT with many blood vessels, neuroglial processes separate pia mater from neural components
68
central gray matter
unmyelinated, nerve cell bodies
69
peripheral white matter
myelinated axons and associated neuroglial cells
70
type of cell in cerebral cortex
purkinje cells
71
cells in cerebral medulla
white matter and glial cells
72
number of pairs of spinal nerves
31
73
divisions of PNS
somatic and autonomic
