Med Neuro Lect3 Neuronal Mechanisms Part 2

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show GLIAL CELLS. 1.Astrocytes (protoplasmic and fibrous). 2.Oligodendrocytes. 3.Microglial cells. **all 3 aid in development and maintenance of neurons & Synapses.  
🗑
3 main functions of Astrocytes (50% of cells in the CNS)   show
🗑
show Proliferation of astrocytes which forms glial scars. **Can be hamrful.  
🗑
show NO, it is MOSTLY covered by end feet of astrocytes, the rest are locations of Axosomatic synapses.  
🗑
When might you see a fibrous gliosis?   show
🗑
show NO, they can wrap/myelinate and support multiple axons at a time.  
🗑
Describe the myelin sheath that the Oligodendrocytes wrap around axons   show
🗑
show Heavily myelinated bridge b/w right and left hemispheres of the brain (will appear very white due all myelination). **Will see plaques there with MS due to overactive microglial cells.  
🗑
show Ectoderm.  
🗑
What are Microglial cells derived from?   show
🗑
What will cause a proliferation of Microglial cells? what is their function?   show
🗑
show MICROGLIAL CELLS: 1.Interleukin-1. 2.Interleukin-6. 3.Tumor necrosis factor. 4.Transforming growth factor.  
🗑
show 1.Ependymal cells (line the ventricles). 2.Choroid plexus (proliferating ependymal cells that produce CSF by acting like a glomerulus found in EACH ventricle). 3.Pial cells (flattened cells lining entire brain minus ventricles).  
🗑
show Ependymal cells.  
🗑
show Interventricular foramen.  
🗑
Where does the 3rd ventricle lie? what connects it to the 4th ventricle?   show
🗑
show It drains into the subarachnoid space via 3 foramina (2 lateral, 1 medial).  
🗑
show YES. The CSF it prodcues only circulates b/w the ventricles and subarachnoid space.  
🗑
Is CSF production under neurogenic control? if so, what Inc or Dec production?   show
🗑
show 500-600mL per day (40% is extruded off ventricular wall). **Movement results from a hydrostatic gradient between ventricles and venous channels. Ventricular pressure can be 180 mm of water while that of the superior sagittal sinus is 90 mm of water  
🗑
2 ways CSF drains from the subarachnoid space   show
🗑
show 1.Waste removal. 2.Helps brain combat gravity by providing a floating material.  
🗑
Hydrocephalus   show
🗑
show Brain becomes erroded.  
🗑
What does hydrocephalus sometimes follow? (due to the increased dead brain tissue draining into the CSF and clogging the drainage pathways)   show
🗑


   

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.
