Neurology

Midterm Review

QuestionAnswer
when can regeneration of axon occur as long as cell body is not damaged
synapses meet at gland or muscle or other synapse
electrical synapse direct contact, smooth muscle, cardia muscle
chemical synapse space, pre and post synaptic neurons
EPSP NT binds to Na+= AP dipolarize
calcium causes vessicles to fuse
synaptic cleft space between synapses
IPSP NT binds to K+=no AP does not depolarize
ICF- more negative by K+ leaving
NS AP fast and ends fast
ES AP slower and last longer
4 ways the synapse rids of excess NT diffuse, breakdown by Ach, active transport, uptake
temporal continuous, are we there yet, until fire
spacial firing squad, one not enough, all firing maybe enough to send signal
sub threshold facilitated, getting ready to fire, but not enough, close to threshold not enough to fire
damage pressure, severe
which NS regenerates PNS
what happens instead of regeneration in CNS other neurons take over, re-ed
MVA nn damage pressure causes what sensation parasthesia
wallerian degeneration cut nn, schwann cells that wre myelinated nn now reabsorb damaged nn, form tube-axon stump grows into tube
factors effecting wallerian degeneration no scar tissue, must be clean cut
microphage pacman cells eat dead cells
how to decrease scar tissue US, ES, MT
How are nn specific specific nn for different sensations
thalamus low stimulus, ex clothes, Brains assistant, admin or CEO
meisners corpuscles light touch, pettrisage/merkels disc-mechanoreceptors
merkels disk in epidermis, responds to light touch, help to tell difference surface of objects,if press to hard to nn -turns off, overstimulated
heavy touch ruffinian end organs-deeper, DTM, rolfing/pacinain corpuscles, vibrating stimuli
tickle hypersensativity
monomodal nn Afiber, burn, sharp, acute, fast, mechanical=itch, tickle,pleasure, thermal=hot or cold
corpuslces capsules on nn
free nn endings no capsules/corpuslces
how can medical history help find which type of nn is damaged nn are specific to description of pain, monomodal Afiber=is burn, sharp, acute, fast/mechanical= tissue damage, itching, tickling, pleasure/thermal=tissue damage, hor to r cold/polymodal Cfiber=slow, chronic, dull, nagging, throbbing
polymodal nn Cfiber, unmyelinated, slow signal, chronic, slow pain, dull, nagging, throbbing, long lasting stimuli=prolonged sitting, chemicals from damaged tissue cause nagging pain
pain subjective, quantify, symptom or disease, originate in ST, chronic, acute
chronic pain healing pain, depressed people and may altar rehab
acute pain A fibers override chronic pain, may have both
visceral pain poorly localized, ab wall guarding
embryotic similiar cells
cutaneous cut sharp A fiber
trigger point compression override other pain
functional unit in spine 3 parts, 2 vert and 1 disc
natural splint mm lock
cranial nn PNS
SC highway
Plexus PNS
Nucleus CNS
UMN pre-synaptic
LMN post-synaptic
central canal tiny canal in the middle, transport CSF
SC Ant and Post Ant fissure, post sulcus
grey matter butterfly in SC
white matter SC tracts, fasciculi
tracts ascending sensory, descending motor
UE fasciculus cuneatus, weblike bundle of axons
LE fasciculus gracilis cord (gracilis mm) bundle of axons
fasciculus same sensation, ex fine touch, fine pressure
integrative function interprets and compares to past experiences, decides course of action
motor function can be mm contraction or glandular secretion
effectors general name for anything having effect
soma body
visceral organ
SNS voluntary =skeletal mm
ANS involuntary = visceral smooth mm
bones cover most important organs
efferent effector
parasympathetic rest and repair
sympathetic flight or fight, instantaneously
parasympathetic vs sympathetic balance btw both, one should not dominate
cell hierarchy-botton to top epithelial tissue= covers, mm cells =contractions, neuron tells mm to contract
to we create more nn cells no, they do not divide after 6 months, same nn cells since then
ribosomes attach to endoplasmic reticulum
axon send signal away from cell body
sciatic cell body at spine, axon goes all the way down to the toe
upper body nerves larger, down arm
divergent nerve path wide dispersal of signals
what is myelin made of protein and lipids
which cells repair PNS
axon hillock part of cell body that connects to axon
neuroglia do not conduct electrical impulse, protect neuron only
astrocytes service to nn cells in CNS
magocytes schwann cells in the PNS clean up debris to repair nn
CSF like blood but does not have certain things, made from blood in ventricle in brain, ependymal cells reach out to capillaries and get whet they need to make CSF
satellite cells in PNS ganglia, unipolar
ganglion collection of cells bodies
posterior root ganglia group of cells clumps outside CNS
nucleus group of cells in CNS
multipolar most nn cells
epithelial cells visceral, secrete substance, organ connective =bone, mm=move, neurons=send messages
how many different types of neurons 140

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
