Neuroanatomy unit 1

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Secondary vesicles formed from Prosencephalon   Telencephalon, Diencephalon  
🗑
SEcondary vesicles formed from Rhombencephalon   Metencephalon, Myelencephalon  
🗑
Craniorachischisis   complete failure of the neural tube closure  
🗑
Spinal bifida occulata   1+ vertebrae fail to close, but overlying skin is closed  
🗑
Spinal bifida aperata   protrusion of meninges and/or spinal cord  
🗑
meningocele   vertebrae fail to form over defect; defected portion still covered by meninges and skin  
🗑
meningomyelocele   herniation of spinal cord and meninges through defect in vertebrae  
🗑
Arnold-Chaiari malformation   cerebellum and brainstem are pushed down through foramen magnum; blocks flow of CSF  
🗑
anencephaly   ROSTRAL neuropore fails to close (meningocele and spinal bifida = CAUDAL), cerebral hemisphere is absent  
🗑
alpha-fetoprotein   a marker in amniotic fluid used to detect neural tube closure  
🗑
holoprosencephaly   partial or complete failure of the prosencephalon to separate into the diencephalons  
🗑
fetal alcohol syndrome   complete absence of the CORPUS CALLOSUM  
🗑
hetertopias   enlarged lateral ventricle --> seizure activity  
🗑
lissencephaly   cortical folding almost completely absent due to defective migration of neurons during months 3-4  
🗑
anyotropic lateral sclerosis (LAS) and Polio   degeneration of motor neurons  
🗑
tabes dordalis   late stage of syphilis, affect sensory neurons  
🗑
parkinson's   dopaminergic neurons are degenerated  
🗑
alzheimer's   cholinergic neurons in CNS are degenerated first, then other parts of brain  
🗑
Myasthenia gravis   loss of neurotransmitter receptors at postsynaptic membrane  
🗑
PNS glia cells   Schwann cells (one per segment), Satellite cells  
🗑
CNS glia cells (neuroglia)   oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, microglial cells  
🗑
oligodendrocyte   forms myelin sheath in white matter of CNS; single oligo may wrap dozens of axons  
🗑
astrocyte   provides support to neurons  
🗑
three types of astrocytes   protoplasmic- part of blood-brain barrier fibrous- repair damaged tissue, may -> scar radial glia- developmental, guide axonal growth and neuronal migration  
🗑
Microglia   respond to CNS injury, transform to macrophages  
🗑
ependymal cells   form lining of ventricles  
🗑
Multiple Sclerosis   demyelinating disease in CNS that interfere with motor and sensory, oligodendrocytes are destroyed gradually  
🗑
Guillan-Barre   axonal demyelination in PNS  
🗑
derivation of brain tumors   glia cells  
🗑
Supporting tissues in PNS   epineurium- continues with dura mater perineurium endoneurium- surround each schwann cell  
🗑


   

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.
