Central Nervous-pns
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are axon called in pns? | Nerves |
| what is the difference between PNS & CNS? | PNS lacks interneuron |
| what are cell bodies known as in pns? | ganglion |
| what does pns consist of? | afferent-motor efferent-sensory |
| What are the subdivision of afferent? | autonomic and somatic. Autonomic divided further into parasympathetic and sympathetic. |
| what do oligodendrocytes and neurolimacyte have in common? | form the myelin sheath |
| where are oligodendrocytes found? | In cns |
| neurolimacytes | myelin sheath in PNS |
| what are microglia? | phagocytic cells |
| how many neuroglial cells are there? | 6 2 in pns, 4 in cns |
| what charge does Na carry? | + = Cation |
| What charge does K carry? | - = Anion |
| what is action potential? | a stimuli- all or nothing |
| depolarization | NA moves in + another +30 goes in making it positive 30 |
| what are the two types of synaptic potential? | epsp-excitatory ipsp- inhibitory |
| what are the two types of neuroreceptors? | Nicotonic- esps muscarinic- ipsp, epsp |
| where is Cerebral Spinal Fluid Made? | Choroid Plexus |
| Arachnoid Villi | extend into subarchnoid space and returns CSF to the circulatory system |
| muscle and neurons | are the only cells that are excitable- can depolarize |
| repolarization | K moving out |
| what is graded? | chemical/ ligand |
| what is nongraded? | Voltage= all or nothing |
| NA | epsp |
| Cl | Ipsp |
| Neuroreceptors | can be Ion channels |
| more synaptic vesicles under exocytosis means? | larger depolarization, Do NOT hve a refractory period |
| Nicotonic Receptors | requires 2 binding sites, always exictatory |
| what are G proteins? | three small proteins, Alpha, beta, gamma |
| Gproteins | can cause ipsp or epsp |
| effector enzyme adenlyate cyclase is activated by? | the alpha g protein |
| what does adenlyate cyclase do? | Catalyzes ATP to cyclic AMP(cAMP) |
| what activates kinease? | cAMP |
| Dopaminergic neurons | releases dopamine |
| 2 neural pathways of dopamine | motor control, motivation & reward |
| Cocaine | binds to re-uptake transporters for dopamine. does not get back to presynaptic axon for breakdown |
| Nigrostniatial | Dopamine system controls body movement |
| mesolimbic | controls emotional reward |
