Question 2 of 31

How can you identify neurons in a Nissl stain?= Rough endoplasmic reticulum makes up the nissl body, with a pale nucleus and a dark nucleolus

Question 2 of 31

Question 3 of 31

How can you distinguish glia from neurons?= Darker, smaller, numerous

Question 3 of 31

Question 4 of 31

What do you call groups of neural cells in the CNS?= Tracts

Question 4 of 31

Question 5 of 31

What do you call bundles of axons in the PNS?= Nerves

Question 5 of 31

Question 6 of 31

What facilitates myelination in the CNS?= Oligodendrocytes

Question 6 of 31

Question 7 of 31

What facilitates myelination in the PNS?= Schwann cells

Question 7 of 31

Question 8 of 31

When do perineuronal nets begin to form?= When the brain loses plasticity

Question 8 of 31

Question 9 of 31

What is the origin of neurons?= Neural epithelium

Question 9 of 31

Question 10 of 31

What is the origin of schwann cells? = Neural crest

Question 10 of 31

Question 11 of 31

What is the origin of satellite cells?= Neural crest

Question 11 of 31

Question 12 of 31

What is the function of astrocytes?= Maintanence and repair of neurons

Question 12 of 31

Question 13 of 31

What is the function of oligodendrocytes?= Myelinate neurons

Question 13 of 31

Question 14 of 31

What is the shape of astrocytes?= Stellate

Question 14 of 31

Question 15 of 31

What is the difference between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems?= Somatic is under voluntary control, autonomic is under involuntary control

Question 15 of 31

Question 16 of 31

How are neurons classified? (4)= Unipolar, multipolar, bipolar, pseudounipolar

Question 16 of 31

Question 17 of 31

What are the morphological differences between axons and dendrites?= Dendrites thin as they branch, covered in synaptic terminals, blunt ends. Axons retain constant diameter, orignate at the axon hillock, end with dilation of axon forming boutons

What is the dorsal horn of the spinal cord usually associated with?= Sensory information

Question 18 of 31

Question 19 of 31

What is the ventral horn of the spinal cord usually associated with?= Motor information

Question 19 of 31

Question 20 of 31

What nuclei are closer to the outside of the spinal cord horns?= Somatic sensory and somatic motor

Question 20 of 31

Question 21 of 31

What nuclei are closer to the outside of the spinal cord horns?= Somatic sensory and somatic motor

Question 21 of 31

Question 22 of 31

Which nuclei are more central in the spinal cord horns?= Visceral sensory/motor

Question 22 of 31

Question 23 of 31

What do the dorsal root ganglia contain?= Cell bodies of sensory neurons

Question 23 of 31

Question 24 of 31

What information does the cuneate fascicles carry? (3)= upper limb proprioception, fine touch and vibration

Question 24 of 31

Question 25 of 31

Where do the gracile and cuneate fasciculi synapse?= In the gracile and cuneate nuclei of the medulla

Question 28 of 31

Question 29 of 31

Why do superior levels of the spinal cord have larger density of white matter compared to inferior levels?= Superior levels contain axons for both superior and lumbar nerves, whereas inferior levels only contain lower nerve innervation
