🗑
show Cells of supoort to the nerve cells and their processes. They're of 2 main types, ea. has various subtypes.  
🗑
show Mitochondria, golgi body, ER, neurofibrils, neurotubules, Nissl Bodies, and Nucleus.  
🗑
Dendrites   show
🗑
Axon   show
🗑
Unipolar/Pseudounipolar   show
🗑
Bipolar   show
🗑
show with more than 2 processes; Stellate - star-shaped, (autonomic ganglia) Pyramidal - (Cerebral Cortex) Piriform - pear-shaped ( Cerebullum) Granule cells - small with nucleus filling most of the cell (Cerebellum)  
🗑
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.  
🗑
Myelin sheath   show
🗑
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  
🗑
show Ex] White matter of CNS  
🗑
Neurolemma but no myelin   show
🗑
neurolemma and myelin   show
🗑
show Exists only in CNS; Astrocytes, Oligodendroglia, & microglia.  
🗑
Modified neuroglia (Neuroglia cells)   show
🗑
show star shaped cells with multiple processes ending by pervascular feet over blood vessels. They form Blood Brain Barrier. SUBTYPES: Protoplasmic- have thicker, more branching processes & found in gray matter of CNS; FIBROUS ASTROCYTES.  
🗑
FIBROUS ASTROCYTES   show
🗑
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  
🗑
Neurolemma cells   show
🗑
show Surrounding cells bodies of neurons inside ganglia (PNS)  
🗑
Ependymal Cells   show
🗑
Endoneurium   show
🗑
show surrounds bundles of fibers by a C.T. membrane  
🗑
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.  
🗑
show Smaller; Multipolar Stellate; 15-40 microns; Larger in # relative to size of ganglion; cells are scattered irregularly; Cell nuclei: mostly eccentric; Satellite sheath: incomplete; NERVE FIBERS ARE NON-MYELINATED.  
🗑
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
🗑
meissner's corpuscles   show
🗑
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.  
🗑
show receptors in relation to visceral organs and blood vessels. They may be stimulated by mechanical or chemical stimuli.  
🗑
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.  
🗑
show occur in relation to smooth and cardiac muscles, and arise from autonomic plexuses in the walls of visceral organs. Motor fibers approach muscle fibers and wind around them to end terminally into bulbous endings over sarcolemma of muscle fibers.  
🗑
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;  
🗑
show cellular component, composed of a collection of cells, mainly lymphocytes, occupying the meshes of reticular tissue. Lymphocytes, monocytes, histiocytes, plasma cells, lymph or blood sinusoids. Cortex: contains nodular L.T. forming Cortical nodules;  
🗑
non-encapsulated lymph tissue   show
🗑
show round to oval collections of densely packed cells to form a nodule or follicle.Germinal center contains large lymphocytes and medium sized lymphocytes; outer zone of nodule is called cortex. Nodules maybe single or may form aggregates (Payer's Patches)  
🗑
Diffuse lymph tissue   show
🗑
show 2 palatine,, 1 lingual, 1 pharyngeal  
🗑
Tonsillar crypts   show
🗑
Stratified squamous non-keratinized   show
🗑

🗑
show Slenic artery enters spleen at the hilum and splits to run in trabeculae (arteries) then enter splenic nodules as central arterioles. exits nodules as straight straight vessels called pencilli which pour into sinuses and drained after pulpvenules  
🗑
