Astrocytes store glucose (also forms blood brain barrier)
Microglia aka Macrophages (in the brain)
Ependymal cells line what structures? ventricles and produce CSF
Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the cns
MS demyelination of CNS
Schwann cells come from neural crest cells to produce myelin in the PNS
Meissner's and Auerbach's plexuses From neural crest cells and allows for peristalsis

IVF Boundaries: anterior bodies and IVD
IVF Boundaries: superior and inferior Pedicles
IVF Boundaries: Posterior facet joints
Nerve root sheaths occupy___________% of the IVF 35-50%
50-65% of the IVF foramen contains the following: (6 structures) Loose areolar tissue, adipose tissue, spinal artery, veins, lymphatics, an recurrent meningeal nerve.
Compression of IVF : (4 affected structures) Fat/V.A.N (Veins, arteries, nerves)
Structure that is inside the IVF that is MOST sensitive to compression and MOST affected by subluxation. Dorsal Root Ganglia
Least to Greatest Pressure Changes in Disc: Based on body positioning Recumbent-->Standing-->Sitting-->Sitting with forward lean--> Jumping
Weakest part of the disc posterolateral aspect (due to narrower PLL)
Compressive load on disc causes fracture of this structure first End plate (with no herniation)
Nutrition to the disc by way of______________ imbibition (motion)
Ankylosis pathological fusion of bones across a joint
Allodynia perception of pain from a normally non painful stimulus
Axonotmesis Type II nerve injury; disruption of axon with Wallerian degeneration, resulting in temporary paralysis and sensory changes.
