Brain and Spinal Cord
What organs are included in the Peripheral Nervous System
Spinal Nerves
it supports the appropriate blood-barrier
astrocyte
the only phagocyte
microglia
produces cerebrospinal fluid and assist in its circulation
Ependymal
it lubricates part of the brain
Cerebrospinal fluid
it forms the myelin sheath of CNS
Oligodendrocytes
it forms the myelin sheath of PNS
Schwann
sensory neurons
afferent neuron
efferent neuron
motor function
neurons responsible for integrative functions
interneurons
area of nervous system that is responsible for gastrointestinal chuchu (i need the ppt my notes are HNGGG)
Enteric
it surrounds the individual axons
Endoneurium
it surrounds individual fascicles
perineurium
surrounds each neuron
Epineurium
gray matter contains ___
axon, myelin sheath, and ascending and descending tracts
white matter contains ____
cell body
it contains the nucleus
cell body (soma)
carries impulse away ; must be myelinated
Axon
two types of conduction. differentiate.
- continuous. axons are not myelinated; continuous flow of impulse
- saltatory. axons are myelinated; impulses jump from one to another— faster
releasing site of neurotransmitters
synapse
what spinal nerve is responsible for the sensory functions
Dorsal SN
What spinal nerve is responsible for motor functions
ventral SN
