What axons do the V1R contain? GVE, GSE, GVA, GSA
What are the two types of communicating rami? Gray and white
What is the purpose of the communicating rami? These branches serve to connect the spinal nerve with the sympathetic chain ganglia
T/F: The WHITE rami are myelinated, pre-gang fibers (GVE pre-gang), and visceral afferent axons that return info from organ systems/internal cavity vessels to the CNS T
T/F: The GRAY rami are UNmyelinated post-gang fibers (GVE post-gang) arising from sympathetic chain and destined to body wall and limbs T
What 3 things will the post-gang, coming from the GRAY matter, innervate? Sweat glands, vascular smooth m, erector pili m
Where are WHITE rami only found? Spinal Ns T1-L2,3
T/F: Gray rami are branches of only some spinal Ns? F- Branches of ALL spinal Ns
What are splanchnic Ns branches of? Certain thoracic, lumbar, and sacral sympathetic chain gang and trunks associated with these spinal Ns
Splanchnic Ns provide what types of axons and where? GVE pre-gang to abdom viscera and also passage for GVA from surrounding areas to CNS
Where do the meningeal br arise from? V1R and gray rami
What do the meningeal br supply? Meningies, BV, intervertebral disc
What kind of axons are in the meningeal br? Sensory- GVA, GSA and sympathetic-GVE-post gang
Define dermatome? The sensory innervation of a dorsal root
Define a neuron? The main structural and functional cellular units of the nervous system.
What does a neuron do? Receives impulses,and has the ability to elicit and effect (either excitatory or inhibitory)
What is the receptive portion of a neuron? Dendrites and cell body (soma)
What is the conductive portion of a neuron? Axon
What is the effector portion of a neuron? Terminal boutons of the axon which store and release neurotransmitters
In an axon, which way does the impulse travel compared to the cell body? AWAY from the cell body
T/F: An axon is Incapable of independent protein synthesis. T- The axon relies on the cell body for ALL its nutrition and maintenance
What happens if an axon becomes separated from the cell body? The axon dies
Which has more surface area, dendrite or axon? Dendrite
Does axonal and dendritic transport depend on electrical transmission of impulse conduction? Nope
Dendritic transport is movement in a..... Cellulifugal direction (AWAY from the cell body)
Define axonal transport? Movement of axoplasm BOTH away from and toward cell body. 2 kinds: anterograde & retrograde
Define SLOW anterograde? Moves at .2-2.5 mm/day for maintenance and repair
Define FAST anterograde? Moves at 200-4oo mm/day Transports subcelluar organelles, mitochondria, and neurotransmitters. Carried out by neurotubules and filaments. ATP required
Define retrograde? Allows for retrieval of raw materials from the terminal to the cell body. Carries many different viral/bacterial particles (herpes simplex, rabies, polio, tetanus.
