Question
Answer
3 main features of a nueron   Cell body (soma), axon, dendrite  
🗑
What is a Lewey body   Brown or yellow inclusions in the soma. Usually a sign of degenerative disease  
🗑
3 types of nuerons   unipolar, multipolar, and pseundounipolar  
🗑
Location of psuedounipolar   dorsal root ganglion, SENSORY  
🗑
Description/Location of Bipolar   1 dendrite, one axon, used in ganglion for sensroy type signaling, found in Retina  
🗑
Description/Location of Mulitpolar   multiple dendrites feed to a single soma. These make up most nuerons and are found in the endo/excrine system, muscle, and ventral horns MOTOR  
🗑
What is an ogliodendrocyte   found in CNS, responsible for mylenation  
🗑
Two types of transport in an axon   Orthograde (from cell body to nerve endings) or retrograde (from nerve endings to cell body)  
🗑
What type of transports does rabies utilize   Retrograde  
🗑
what is an astrocyte   carry nutrients from cappilaries to the nueron, maintains ionic conditions, are mitotically active and form glial scarsAlso maintain blood brain barrier, and absorb/recycle nuerotransmitters  
🗑
what is a microglia   arise from monocytes, act as a phagocyte to remove waste and debris  
🗑
What is a Ependymal cell   line the brain and spinal cord. Assist in making and moving CSF, produce choroid process  
🗑
What is a Schwann cell   found in PNS, produces mylen and helps in repair after injury  
🗑
What is a sattelite cell   surround cell bodies in ganglia, PNS, regulates 02, CO2 and nutrients  
🗑
what do schwann cells origniate from   nueral crest cells  
🗑
how do schwann cells mylenate   wrap around the axon over and over again to  
🗑
Name the three layers that make up the divisions of neurons (from outtermost to innermost)   Epineurium, Parineurium, and Endoneurium  
🗑
How many axons can a schwann cell mylenate   many  
🗑
What is a node of Ranvier   a gap in the myelination. Has a high concentration of Na+ channels to regenerate the action potential  
🗑
What are the two types of ganglia   Dorsal Root Ganglia and ganglia of cranial nerves  
🗑
type of tissue that surrounds sensory ganglia   dense connective tissue  
🗑
What are the three types of snesroy receptors in the integument   Pacinian corpuscles, Meissners corpuslces, and intrafusal fibers/muscle spindles  
🗑
Describe Pacini's corpuscles   onion shaped, stimulated by pressure, vibration and tension in the deep layer of the skin, finger pads, tendons and ligaments around viscera  
🗑
Describe Messner's corpuscles   fine touch recpetors (mechanoreceptor) in dermis or finger pads. Look like 'tornado' or bee hive. Found in lips, gential skin and eyelids  
🗑
Describe Intrafusal fibers/muscle spindles   made of 3-12 fibers, responsible for contraction, monitor amount and rate of stretch  
🗑
Cell types responsible for CNS tumors   Glial cells  
🗑
Can nerves in the PNS regenrate   YES  
🗑
what happens when a PNS nueron is cut   cell membrane permiability increases, takes on water, nissel bodies disappear, and the end proximal to the nueron undegoes RETROGRADE DEGENERATION  
🗑
What is it called when a axon in the PNS is cut and looses color   chromatolysis  
🗑
What is Wallerian Degeneration   takes place in an axon distal to the cut. Terminal swells, myelen sheath breaks down and macrophages clean it up  
🗑
Name the cell membrane of the axon   axolemma  
🗑
Name the cytoplasm of the axon   axoplasm  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
