week 6 muscular system Flashcards
dorsal root and ventral root will form together to form
spinal nerves
How many cranial nerves and how are they separated
12 pairs
CN I olfactory
CN II optic
CN III-XII arise from brainstem
parasympathetic nerve forms plexus with
sympathetic fibers
White rami communicantes
preganglionic fibers, myelianted, leave at thoracolumbar segments of spinal cord
gray rami communicantes
some postganglionic fibers, unmyelinated; leave ganglia to spinal nerves
Gray Vs White matter
in spinal cord gray surrounded by white
in brain white surrounded by gray
splanchnic vs somatic mesoderm
splanchnic is visceral and somatic is limbs
Dorsal primary ramus
(epimere) myoblasts form extensors muscles of vertebral column
ventral primary ramus
(hypomere) myoblasts form flexor muscles (obliques, abdominis)
patterns of muscle and skeletal formation in the limbs is regulated by
connective tissue
how many somites/spinal segments
40 somites, with 6 segments for upper limbs and 6 for lower limbs
ventral primary rami
from each segment enter mesenchyme, branch to form large dorsal and ventral nerves
spinal nerves differentiation and motor innervation
for limb muscles and sensory innervation for dermatomes
Afferent
PNS incoming, sensory
efferent
PNS outgoing, motor
what triggers action potential
sodium
graded potential vs fuse
fuses only move in one direction, graded potential move in all directions
Whats in the dorsal root ganglion
sensory cell bodies
whats in the anterior gray horn
motor cell bodies
sensory cell bodies enter through a
dorsal root
motor cell bodies exit through a
ventral root
Nerves vs tracts
nerves are in PNS
tracts are bundles of axons in CNS
spinothalmic pathway
crude touch, pressure, pair, temperature
posterior column pathway
fine touch, pressure, vibration, proprioception
