Q

What is myelin important for?

A

transmitting nervous impulse from neurons to neruon

17
Q

CNS Structure

A
  1. Nucleus
    a. Gray Matter
    collection of NERVE CELL BODIEs
  2. Tract
    a. White matter
    COllection of nerve fibers & connects nuclei
18
Q

PNS structure

A
1. Ganglion 
Collection of nerve cell bodies
Outside of CNS
2. Peripheral Nerve
- Collection of nerve fibers, connects cns with peripheral structures such as spinal cord or cranial
19
Q

Periphinal Spinal nerves

20
Q

Axons are white or gray matter?

21
Q

Where can you find the cell bodies?

A

Nucleus, Gray matter

22
Q

The SPinal Cord is the extension of what?

A

Brainstem from medulla

23
Q

Where does the spinal cord end?

24
Q

Primary fucntion of the spinal cord is to

A

transmit signals to and from the brain to peripheral structures

25
Dorsal & Ventral root meet to make what?
Spinal Nerve
26
Cross Sectional Vartiation
C T S L
27
Describe Cervical Cross section
Large & oval | Large amount of white matter
28
Have the descending motor tract exit the cervical cross-sectional of the spinal cord?
No
29
Describe Thoracic Cross Section
Oval Shap SMaller than cervical Have lateral horns - Autonomic
30
Where are the cell bodies of the sympathetic nervous located?
thoracic
31
Describe Lumbar Spine Cross Section
Round in shape & large | Largest amount of gray matter
32
why is their large amount of gray matter?
because the surface area of muscles and sensory fibers
33
Sacral Cross Section
Similar to lumbar but smaller
34
Have most descending tracts left the Sscral cross section?
Yes
35
Have ascending tracts ented the Spinal cored in sacral cross section?
Yes
