PHYSIO-NEURO Flashcards
2 types of nerve cells ? Neurons and Neuralgia(glial/supporting)??which is permamnent and not
neurons are permanent, neuralgia not
Matching type for Glial Cells : macrophage of the brain
microglia
Matching type for Glial Cells : regulates ecf ion levels, gives mechanical support , forms BBB
Astrocytes
Matching type for Glial Cells : produces CSF
Ependymal cells
Matching type for Glial Cells : creates myelin in the CNS
Oligodendrocytes
Matching type for Glial Cells : creates myelin in the PNS
Schwann cells
Matching type for Glial Cells : examples of brain tumors from non-mature neurons
neuroblastoma and retinoblastoma
Matching type for Glial Cells : more numerous glial cells or neurons ???
Glial Cells
Matching type for Parts of a Neuron : unmyelinated part of the axon
Nodes of Ranvier
Matching type for Parts of a Neuron : space between two neurons
synapse
Matching type for Parts of a Neuron : terminal portion of a neural fibril that contains NT-containing vesicles
axon terminal/boutons/end-feet
Matching type for Parts of a Neuron : function of myelin sheath
insulator
Matching type for Parts of a Neuron : where action potential in a neuron actually starts
axon hillock
Matching type for Parts of a Neuron : receiving portion of the neuron
dendrites
Soma (cell body) to axon terminal; replenishes synaptic vesiclesand enzymes for NT synthesis
Anterograde axonal transport
Axon terminal to Soma(cell body); recycles synaptic vesicle membrane for lysosomal degradation
retrograde axonal transport
what do you call the death of the axon distal to the site of injury after an axonis transected?
Anterograde/Orthograde degeneration
what do you call the changes in the soma after an axon is transected
axonal reaction/chromatolysis
axonal regeneration occurs better in CNS or PNS?
PNS
enzyme used in the synthesis of acethylcholine
choline acetyltransferase
enzyme used in the degradation of acetylcholine
acetylcholinesterase where Choline is recycled makes it unique
AcH - acetylcholine is deficient in what disease
Alzheimer’s Dis
Dopamine is found mainly in?
substancia nigra pars compacta and ventral tegmental area
dopamine is degraded by
MAO in presynptic nerve terminals; COMT in tissues including liver
dopamine excess is in what disease
beautiful mind
dopamine deficiency is in what disease
mohamed ali TARP - tremors,rigidity,akinesia,postural rigidity
nor-epi ismanily secreted by neurons in?
locus ceruleus in the pons and postganglionic neurons of sympathetic nervous system
epinephrine is mainly secreted by?
Adrenal medulla 80%
norepi and epi control overall activity and mood of the mind, wakefulness; both excitatory and inhibitory; acts on adrenergic receptors T or F
TRUE
ILOCUS NORte
LOCUS ceruleus = NORepinephrine
phenylalanine derivatives
Pare True Love Does Not Exist To Me = Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, L-dopa, Dopamine, NE, Epi, Thyroxine, Melanin
Tryptophan Derivatives
Trip Mo Sya Anoh? = Tryptophan, Melatonin, Serotonin, Niacin
Serotonin is secreted mainly by the ?
Median Raphe of the Brain Stem
inhibitor of pain pathways in the spinal cord; Happy Hormone, converted to Melatonin in the Pineal Gland
Serotonin
Serotonin : Si M-R-S mahilig sa Dark na Tsokolate
Median Raphe : Serotonin Converted to: Melatonin(Dark) Comes from : Tryptophan
secreted in areas of the brain responsible forLong term behavior and memory; fromArginine, inhibitory, not preformed and stored in vesicles, Permeant Gas that diffuses towards its targets
Nitric Oxide
control of arousal, sleep, and circadian rhythm mainly located w/in tuberomammillary nucleus of the hypothalamus
Histamine
1 inhibitory neurotrans, from Glutamate
GABA
1 excitatory neurotrans in the brain
Glutamate
involved in pain transmission, in the brain,primary sensory neurons,GI plexus neurons
Substance P
involved in the perception of pain exemplified by Enkephalins, Endorphins, Dynorphins
Opioid peptides
inhibitory neurotrans found in spinal interneurons
Glycine
refer to the Intracellular Charge; potential difference that exist across the membrane
Resting Membrane Potential
Action potential : Propagating means?
action potential at once cells causesdepolarization of adjacent cells in a NON-DECREMENTAL MANNER
Action potential: ALL or NONE means?
if treshold is reached, a full sized action potentialwill be produced,otherwise ,none at all
Matching type : RMP and AP : make the memb.potential less negative
Depolarization
Matching type : RMP and AP : make the MP more negative
hyperpolariation
Matching type : RMP and AP : positive charges flowing into the cell
inward current
Matching type : RMP and AP : positive charges flowing out of the cell
Outward current
Matching type : RMP and AP : MP in which Ap is inevitable
Threshold
Matching type : RMP and AP : portion of the AP where MP is positive
Overshoot
Matching type : RMP and AP : portion of the AP whre MP is < RMP
Undershoot(hyperpolarizing afterpotential
opening of the NA-gated channels causing Na Influx
Depolarization
closure of the Na gated channels that stops sodium influx AND openning of K-gated channels causing K Efflux
Repolarization
