Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are Neurolemma? | Plasma membrane of Schwann cells, also known as the plasma membrane of neural tissue. |
What is the neural glia? | Support cells in nervous system, provide support, protection, and speed up action potentials. |
What does Schwann cells do? | They are in the In peripheral nervous system and provide myelin sheathing to neurons. |
What are Astrocytes? | Star-shaped cells that maintain environment around neurons, form blood brain barrier. |
What are Oligodendrocytes? | Cells in central nervous system that form myelin sheath around axons, increasing speed of action potentials. |
What do Microglia do? | They are immune cells of the brain and central nervous system, engulf foreign substances and debris. |
What do Ependymal cells do? | They line the ventricles of the brain and are responsible for creating cerebrospinal fluid. |
What is the Myelin sheath? | Insulates the axons and increases speed of action potential propagation. |
Aproximate the number of neurons in a human brain. | About 85 billion. |
True False? In the human nervous system, there are almost equal numbers of glia cells and neurons? | True |
Fascicles are held together by a connective tissue layer called? | Perineurium. |
Nerves that mostly contain afferent fibers are called ___ Nerves? | Sensory |
What does the autonomic nervous system stimulate? | Smooth muscle, gland, cardiac muscle. |
Astrocytes attach to? | Neurons and blood vessels. |
The largest and most abundant type of glia? | Atrocytes. |
How do astrocytes feed neurons? | By picking up glucose from the blood, converting it to lactate and passing it along to the neurons that they are connected to. |
What helps hold nerve fibers together? | Oligodendrocytes. |
Which glia cells carry out phagocytosis? | Microglia. |
What number of extension from the cell body do Multipolar neurons have? | One Axon, several dendrites. |
What number of extension from the cell body do bipolar neurons have? | One axon, highly branched dendrite. |
Where are bipolar neurons found? | Retina of the eye, inner ear, olafactory pathways. (sense of smell) |
What number of extension from the cell body do unipolar neurons have? | A single process extending from the cell body. Unipolar neurons are always sensory neurons, toward the CNS. |
Characteristics of tracts or (bundles of nerve fibers)? | Do not have connective tissue, Originate from the PNS. Are not called nerves. |
What is a telodendria? | The distal tips of axons that form branches and terminate in a synaptic knob. |
What is an axon hillock? | A single process that usually expends from a tapered portion of the cell body. |
What are T cells? | Lymphocytes, formed in the thymus gland, that act on antigens. |
An immune response in which T cells destroy antigens? | Cell mediated |
Where are inquinal nodes location? | Groin |
Name for anti-viral proteins secreted by T- cells? | Interferon |
What are transformed B cells that secrete antibodies? | Plasma cells |
Where does the terminal ileum join the large intestine? | At the ileocecal valve in the RLQ. |
Name the four major parts of the large intestine? | Cecum, colon, rectum and anal canal |
