| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what does the CNS consist of | brain and spinal cord |
| what are gray matter areas | function as intergration area |
| what do these areas contain, where at in the brain, and where at in the spinal cord | contain: 1) nuclei or collection or neuron cell bodies in the CNS and 2)mostly cell bodies and some glial cells located - brain: in superficial layer of the brian, cerebral cortex spinal cord - deeper nuclei at the enter of the spinal cord (gray horns |
| what are white matter areas | function as information transfer areas |
| what do white matter areas contain, what are tracts, and what are columns | comntains: only neurons axons, glial cells, not cell bodies and the axons are myelinated axons include: tracts (bundles of axons) and columns (collections of similar tracts) |
| cervical enlargment | between C4 and T1 vertebrae - nerves of brachial plexus arise here |
| lumbar enlargment | between T9 and T12 vertebrae - lower nerves arise here |
| conus medularis | tapered conical portion of the spinal cord that ends at the intervertebral disc between L1 and L2 |
| cauda equina | spinal nerves that extend inferiorly in the vertebral canal giving the apperance of wisps of coarse hair like a horse's tail |
| filum terminal | non-neural fibrous tissue extending from the conuss medullaris to the coccyx that consists mostly of pia matter |
| central canal | narrow passage way in the gray commissure that is filled with CSF |
| anterior median fissure | deep, wide groove on the anterior surface of the spinal cord |
| posterior median sulcus | shallow, groove on the posterior surface of the spinal cord |
| posterior/dorsal root | axons of sensory neurons which carry electrical impulses to spinal cord |
| dorsal root/spinal ganglia | cell bodies of sensory neurons |
| anterior/ventral root | motor neurons which carry motor commands out of the spinal cord |
| spinal nerve | the unison of the dorsal and ventral root creats a spinal nerves - mixed nerves becuase they contain both sensory and motor information |
| spinal nerve: dorsal ramus | contains only somatic motor and visceral motor fibers - these control the skin or skeletal muscles of the back |
| spinal nerve: ventral ramus | contain somatice motor neurons which control the body wall and limbs - serves as the roots for the nerve plexuses |
| spinal nerve: rami communicates | connect to the sympathetic trunk/ chain ganglia - two branches: preganglionic (white ramus) or post ganglionic (gray ramus) |
| preganglionic white ramus | first branch of the spinal nerve - routes for visceral motor fiberd to sympathetic trunk ganglia (enters) |
| post ganglionic gray ramus | the route visceral motor neurons take to get to effector cells (leaves) - smooth muscle, cardiac muscles, glands, adipose`` |
| what are meninges | is a membrane that surrounds the spinal cord and brain |
| dura mater: endosteal layer | or poriosteal layers - outer most layer that is fused to the periostem |
| dura mater: meningeal layer | inner layer |
| dura mater: epidural space | the space between the vertebrae and the dura (superficial to the dura) - contains loose connective tissues and adipose |
| dura mater: subdural space | seperates dura mater from the arachnoid layer |
| arachnoid mater: subarachnoid space | |
| pia mater | |
| arachnoid mater | |
| dura mater | |
| what is gray matter | |

| lateral gray horn | |
| gray commissure | |
| what does gray matter do | |
| what are nuclei | |
| what kind of nuclei are in the cns | |
| where are they in the spinal cord | |
| posterior gray horn: posterior part - what nuclei do they have | |
| posterior gray horn: anterior part - what nuclei do they have | |
| lateral gray horn - what nuclei do they have | |
| anterior gray horn - what nuclei do they have | |
| anterior white collumn | |
| posterior white collumn | |
| lateral white collumn | |
| white commissure | |
| what are tracts or fasculi | |
| what are ascending tracts | |
| what are descending tracts | |
| epineurium | |
| perinerium | |
| endoneurium | |
| what are dermatomes | |
| ventral rami | |
| dorsal rami | |
| dorsal ramus | |
| ventral ramus | |
| sympathetic nerve | |
| what is the path of communication between spinal cord tracts and most of the body | |
| how many pairs of spinal nerves are there | |
| how many spinal nerves - cervical | |
| how many spinal nerves - thoracic | |
| how many spinal nerves - lumbar | |
| how many spinal nerves - sacral | |
| how many spinal nerves - coccygeal | |
| The ventral rami of the spinal nerves, except for ________________, do not go directly to body structures they suppl | |
| Instead, they join with adjacent nerves on either side of the body to form a network called a _______________________________ | |
