Neuro 2

QuestionAnswer
Directions of spinal cord and brainstem nearly straight with superoingerior axis of the body
Directions relating to forebrain differ becuase embryonic development-
Forebrain during embryonic development forebrain rotates relative to midbrain unti rostrocaudal axis is formed
Forebrain roations creates a sharp angle in the long axis of the CNS at the mid-brain-thalmus junction
Forebrain cerebral hemispehre
Posterior forebrain top of head
Anterior forebrain bottom of head
Sympton experienced by the patient
Subjective indicator symptom-experieced by the patient
Objective indicator sign-discovered, observed, and evauluated by health care professional
Sign evualuated-evidence by physician
CT computed tomography
CT useful in visualizing the skull, and acute and subacute arachnoid hemorage (bone, and bleeding)
MRI use in brain anatomy detail, crainal nerves, and tumors
MRA (Nuclear)=visualized arteries,veins and velocity of blood flow
How CT works x-ray imaging that measures tissue density , and effects on atoms passing thought tissue
Hermorrage in CT will appear hyperdense (white)--
Enhanced CT is teachnique tha tcombines intraveously injecting iodine
How enchanced CT works Iodine has a large atomic number ,and slows down x-rays
Vascular in Enhanced CT is seen hyperdense (white)
MRI is based upon NMR-spectorscopic technique used by scientists about molecules
MRI is useful in visualizing anatmoic detail in either T1 or T2 weight items
Difference between T1 and T2 CFS is black in T1, and white is T2
MRI usefull in visualizing tumors, ischemia, and edema
When viewing CT or MRI oberver's right is patients left
Images of brain in 3 planes axial, coronal ,and sagittal
Coronal image viewed as looking patient in face
Axial imaged viewed looking up from bottom of brain or anterior to posterior
Nerurons 1. receive, process, and send info
Glia non neuronal cell-primary function is to control the evnivronment in CNS
5 functions of Glial Cells Perms (provide structural support, essential in development of CNS, removed waster products from CNS, maintain electrochemical environment, and shuttle nutrients from blood)
Neurons are cell that contain Mitochondria, RER, mirotubles
Contains nucleus and macromolecules Cell body
Contains Nissil Bodies Cell body aka RER
3 Principles Regions of Neurons dendrites, cell body ,and axon
Longer process of neuron axon
Neuron that varys in lenght axon
Where nerve impluse orginates axon hillock
What axon terminals are capped wtih terminal boutons
Mutipolar neuron most comonnon, consists of lots of dendrites, and single axon
Bipolar Neuron single axon and dendrite
Unipolar neuron cells have not dendrites, and single axon, appears fused
Unipolar characteristics usually inactive but important in development, seen in retina and neuroendocrine hypothalmus
Example of mutipolar motor neuron
Axonal Transport when neurons transport organelles and marcomolecules between the cell body and the axon and its terminal
Directions of transport Anterograde and retrograde
Retrograde transport transports from the terminals to cell body
Anterograde transport transports from the cell body to terminals
Anterograde catorgories Fast-400mm/day based on Kinesin
Kinesin involved in fast transport--moves macomolecules containing vesicles and mitochondria along microtubles
Slow mechinaism of Anterograde less understood--structual and metabolic components
Allows neurons to respond to molecules such as growth factors retrograde
Functions in continual recycling of components of axonal terminal retograde
Axonal Transport driven by dynenis retrograde
Axonal transport plays a major role in human neurological diseases
What axonal transport uses rabies retrograde
How rabies replicates replicates in muscles cells
How rabies is spread transported via retrograde to cell bodies , and neurons produce and shed copies of rabies, that are taken up by terminals of adjacent cells
Once CNS infected with rabies behavioral changes occur b/c virus travels from the CNS to salibary glands, and they shed the virus in the saliva
Nucleus (nuclei) are a cluster of funtionally related nerve cell bodies in CNS
Lamina, statum are cell bodies arranged in a layer in CNS
Columns are cell bodies arranged in columnar formation
Tracts, fasciculi, or lemnisci are bundles of axon in CNS
Funiculus or system are a group of several tracts in CNS
Ganglion is collections of cells bodys in PNS
Nerves, rami, or roots are bundles of axons in PNS
Projection neurons have long axons are convey signals to a distant target tissue
Interneurons, local circuit cells act locally, limited near cell body
Dopaminergic neurons cells that contain dopamine
Posterior root ganglion cells are unipolar, sensory, afferent, and peptidergic
What carries a negative electrical charge neurons
What is the extracellular fluid rich in? + charge Na
Uneven distribution of ions is maintained by semi-permeable plasma membrane
Neurotransmitters control opening and closing of specific ion channels
Voltage gated channels lead to Action Potential
If AP is large enough... it is propagated down the axon to terminal
AP can induce release Of NT, and stimulate ion channgel opening and voltage changes in next neuron
Primary sensory neurons receive infro from the environment
Examples of Primary sensory neurons Phtoreceptors. chemo, mechano, thermo, and nocieo
Stimulus in primary sensory neuron generator potential
4 types of Glial Cells in CNS Oligodendrocytes, Microglia, Astrocytes, and Ependymal cell

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.
