Intro to neuroscience

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

Fact/definition
Answer/term
Collection of neurons within the PNS   ganglion  
🗑
Slipper-shaped plate of thickened ectoderm, lying over notochord   neural plate  
🗑
Neural plate invaginates along its central axis to from this   neural groove  
🗑
Raised border of neural groove are known as   neural folds  
🗑
By end of the 3rd week neural folds move closer together and fuse in the midline forming   neural tube  
🗑
Formatoin of the neural tube begins in this region and progresses in what direction(s)   cervical, cranial and caudal  
🗑
This embryonic structure gives rise to the brain and the spinal cord   neural tube  
🗑
Neuroectodermal cells lying at the tip of neural folds separate from neighboring cells and migrate to sides of neural tube forming these cells   neural crest cells  
🗑
Name 5 things derived from neural crest cells   sensory ganglion and crainal nerves, autonomic ganglion, schwann cells, menniges of the brain and spinal cord, melanocytes, suprarenal medulla, and some skeletal and muscle components of the head  
🗑
Cephalic end of neural tube gives rise to 3 dilatations, or primary brain vesicles...what are they   prosencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon  
🗑
The prosencephalon corresponds to what embryologic structure   forebrain  
🗑
The mesencephalon correlates to what embroylogic structure   midbrain  
🗑
The rhombencephalon correlates to what embryologic structure   hindbrain  
🗑
The prosencephalon is further divied into   telencephalon and diencephalon  
🗑
The rhombencephalon is further divided into   metencephalon and myelencephalon  
🗑
The telencephalon relates to what brain region   cerebral hemispheres  
🗑
The diencephalon relates to what brain region(s)   thalamus and hypothalamus  
🗑
The metencephalon relates to what brain region(s)   pons and cerebellum  
🗑
The myelencephalon relates to what brain region(s)   medulla oblongata  
🗑
Cavity of the rhombencephalon   4th ventricle  
🗑
Cavity of the mesencephalon   cerebral aquaduct (aqueduct of Sylvius)  
🗑
Cavity of the diencephalon   3rd ventricle  
🗑
Cavity of the telencephalon   lateral ventricles  
🗑
Rough endoplasmic reticulum forms prominent clumps in the neuronal cytoplasm know as   Nissl bodies  
🗑
Nissl bodies are found in what part(s) of neurons   cell body (soma) and dentrites  
🗑
Transports molecules and organelles from cell body to distal end of axon   anterograde axonal transport  
🗑
Returns used or worn out materials to cell body for restoration, transports materials taken up by endocytosis   retrograde axonal transport  
🗑
Multilayered phosopholipid sheath formed by supporting cells   myelin  
🗑
The most important characteristic of myelin is   increase conduction velocity of nerve impulses  
🗑
This type of neuron gives rise to a single cell process which divides into periphral and central processes   unipolar neuron  
🗑
Unipolar neurons are found in what location(s)   sensory ganglion and some cranial nerves  
🗑
This type of neuron's cells body gives rise to 1 axon and 1 dendrite   bipolar neuron  
🗑
Bipolar neurons are found in what location(s)   retina and ganglion of the vestibulocochlear nerve  
🗑
This type of neuron's cell body gives rise to 1 axon and 2 or more dendrites   multipolar neuron  
🗑
This type of neurons lies entirely with in CNS and establishes neuronal circuits between sonsory and motor neurons and between other neurons like them   interneurons  
🗑
This type of fiber carries impulses from the periphral receptors to the CNS   afferent(sensory)  
🗑
This type of fiber carries impulses from the CNS to periphral effectors   efferent(motor)  
🗑
Groups of neuronal cell bodies with similar anatomical connections and functions within the CNS   nuclei (grey matter)  
🗑
Groups of axons that have similar origin, termination, and course and transmit the same type of information   tracts  
🗑
A series of neurons designed to carry a specific type of information from one site to another(e.g. periphral receptors to cerebral cortex, from peripheral receptors to cerebellum)   pathway  
🗑
Term used to define the crossing of major ascending and descending tracts to the opposite side within the CNS   decussation  
🗑
This type of cell lines the ventricles of the brain and central canal of the spinal cord   ependymal cells  
🗑
This type of cell are phagocytes that engulf debris resulting from injuries, infections, or disease in the CNS   mircoglial cells  
🗑
This type of cells has processes that reach the surface of the brain and spinal cord and form a protective covering (external limiting membrane or glial membrane)   astrocytes  
🗑
This type of cell assists in the blood-brain barrier and assists with electrolyte balance of the CNS   astrocytes  
🗑
This type of cell removes neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft and produces trophic factors necessary for neuronal survival, also forms scars after CNS injury   astrocytes  
🗑
This type of cell is involved in formation and maintenance of myelin in the CNS   oligodendrocytes  
🗑
One oligodendrocyte forms myelin around one or many axons in the CNS?   many (40-50)  
🗑
This cell is involved in the formation and maintenance of myelin in the PNS, and maintains how many axons?   Schwann cell (part of 1 axon)  
🗑
This type of cell surround neuronal cell bodies in the sensory and autonomic ganglion   Capsular (Satellite) cells  
🗑


   

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.
