Question
Answer
Excitability   show
🗑
show Ability to propagate action potential along the neural membrane.  
🗑
show Are cells with mult. processes, one axon conducting action potentials away from the cell body and one or more dentrites conducting graded potentials twrd. the cell body.  
🗑
Neuroglia Cells   show
🗑
show Mitochondria, golgi body, ER, neurofibrils, neurotubules, Nissl Bodies, and Nucleus.  
🗑
show conducts graded potentials twrd. the cell body. May be more than one, usually short, thick. Cytoplasm shows all organelles existing in cell body. Surface membrane shows dendritic spines or gemmules as sites of cellular synapses.  
🗑
show Conducts action potentiala way from the cell body. ONLY ONE per cell. usually thing and long. comes from cell body (axon hillocks). The axoplasm lacks Nissl Granules. Telodendria terminate in bulbous endings called terminal boutons.  
🗑
show with one process (spinal Ganglia)  
🗑
Bipolar   show
🗑
Multipolar   show
🗑
Golgi Type I cells   show
🗑
show contains short axons  
🗑
3 types of synaptic contacts:   show
🗑
show has elements of multiple mitochondria and membraneous vesicles in the presynaptic element.  
🗑
show mainly formed by lipid & some protein; divided by internodal segemts (nodes of Ranvier) to speed up (saltatory) conduction  
🗑
show lie outside the myelin sheath; contain flat cells/flat nuclei (schwann cells)wraps around for protective covering does help with regeneration of nerves forming myelin sheath.  
🗑
show No coverings [Ex] grey matter of CNS  
🗑
Myelinated but no neurolemma   show
🗑
show Ex] autonomic nerves  
🗑
show Ex] Spinal nerves  
🗑
show Exists only in CNS; Astrocytes, Oligodendroglia, & microglia.  
🗑
show Found both in CNS & PNS; Neurolemma cells, Satelitte cells (Schwann cells), Ependymal cells  
🗑
Astrocytes   show
🗑
show thinner & less branching processes, are found in white matter of CNS, develop from the ectoderm.  
🗑
show round with few processes, found in both gray & white matters of CNS, form myelin sheath around nerves and develop from ectoderm.  
🗑
show small spindle cells with processes at the poles. Are Phagocytic cells arising from mesdoderm and found in both gray and white matter of CNS  
🗑
show present only in PNS  
🗑
show Surrounding cells bodies of neurons inside ganglia (PNS)  
🗑
show columnar cells with some cilia, lining ventricles of the brain & central canal of spinal cord.  
🗑
show loose C.T. lies outside the neurolemma,  
🗑
Perineurium   show
🗑
show Coveres the whole nerve by a C.T. membrane  
🗑
Peripheral Nervous System   show
🗑
show -Brain: Cerebrum, Brain Stem (midbrain, pons, & medulla oblongata), Cerebellum. -Spinal Cord:  
🗑
show Collections of nerve cells outside the CNS along the course of spinal & autonomic nerves. 2 types: spinal & autonomic ganglia.  
🗑
Autonomic Ganglion   show
🗑
Spinal Ganglion   show
🗑
show are receptors close to body surfaces and they receive impulses that originate from outside the body  
🗑
show originate from sub-epithelial plexus of sensory nerves, lose their sheaths and penetrate naked in epithelial cells. Sensitive to pain stimuli, may carry light touch and temperature stimuli.  
🗑
show similar to free endings, but around hair follicles.  
🗑
merkel'S tactile corpuscles   show
🗑
show encapsulated nerve endings located in dermal papillae, CT capsule is oval in shape. Sensitive to light touch and are common in the skin of the fingertips and toes, lips, nipples, and genitalia.  
🗑
show capsule is rounded, found in glans penis, clitoris, and labia minora, light touch.  
🗑
show Encapsulated endings, capsule is very elongated, these are temperature receptors sensitive to hot stimuli.  
🗑
show Encapsulated spindle shaped endings found between tendon fibers to its junction w/ muscle. They act as stretch receptors to carry action potentials in relation to the tension of the associated muscle.  
🗑
Interoceptors   show
🗑
show nerves endings relaying motor impulses, that originate in the CNS to end organs like muslces or glands.  
🗑
show in relation to skeletal muscles are motor end plates, where motor terminal makes contact with skeletal fibers. terminal portion loses its myelin. it gives several branches each with a bulbous end which dips into the synaptic gutter.  
🗑
Autonomic Motor endings   show
🗑
show arise from plexuses around acini of glands, the periacinar plexus. The endings control the secretory activity of the glands.  
🗑
Lymphatic System   show
🗑
show fibrous framework is made up of reticular tissue; in Nodes Made up of: capsule, cortical & medullary trabeculae, Reticular tissue;  
🗑
Parenchyma   show
🗑
non-encapsulated lymph tissue   show
🗑
Nodular lymphatic tissue   show
🗑
show dispersed loosely arranged cells of lymph tissue, usually occupies spaces btw nodules of lymphatic tissue.  
🗑
show 2 palatine,, 1 lingual, 1 pharyngeal  
🗑
show mucous membrane dips inside lymphatic tissue of tonsil to form tubular invaginations  
🗑
Stratified squamous non-keratinized   show
🗑
Pseudo-stratified columnar ciliated   show
🗑
show lymphatic organs: lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus  
🗑
show occur along lymph vessels(bean shaped w/ hilum) outer portion called cortex; inner zone called medulla.  
🗑
show L.T. form irregular branching cords of densely arranged cells called medullary cods  
🗑
show made of subcapsular, cortical and medullary sinuses.  
🗑
Circulation of Lymph   show
🗑
Thymus   show
🗑
show Contains Capsule, Trabeculae, and Cytoreticulum- not assoc. w/ reticular fibers, made up of branching cells attached together by epithelial-reticular cells, which secrete thymic factor(Thymosin) for development in immunological competent lymphocytes  
🗑
show Cortex: made up dense small lymphocytes called thymocytes or T-lymphocytes; Medulla: loosely arranged cells lymphocytes & some histiocytes; Hassalll's (Thymic) corpuscles are rounded lamellated acidophillic bodies-degenerating epithelial reticular cells  
🗑
Spleen   show
🗑
Circulation of blood in spleen   show
🗑
