metencephalon - pons, cerebellum
myencephalon - medulla
interneurons synapse in the ___ nucleus of the thalamus with thalamic neurons
VPL
What are pyramidal neurons?
descending efferents of the somatic motor system. travel through white matter, decussate in the medulla, and and synapse on LMN in the ventral horn of SC
____ is programming area for initiation of activity and postural adjustments. _____ is control of programmed movement once initiated
basal nuclei, cerebellum
what five areas must be intact and functional for proper somatic motor activity?
lower motor, pyramidal, basal nuclei, cerebellar and brainstem
upper motor neuron poliomyolitis attacks ____ neurons and causes ____ paralysis
upper motor neurons, spastic
lower motor neuron poliomyolitis attacks ____ neurons and causes ____ paralysis
lower motor neurons, flaccid
what motor fibers are known as the Final Common Pathway
alpha-motor
All efferents of the ANS originate in the ____
hypothalamus
Otic Ganglia
parasymptheti. connects CN IX to parotid gland
Pterygopalatine ganglia
connects CN VII to lacrimal gland and nasal/palatine mucosa
Ciliary ganglia
connects CN III to pupil and ciliary body
submandibular ganglia
connects CN VII to submandibular and sublingual glands
Terminal Ganglia
most common parasympathetic ganglia. Found in the walls of most viscera. Connect CNX, and spinal nerves to the viscera
what are the three layers of arteries?
tunica intima (epithelia), tunica media (smooth muscle), tunica adventitia (outer sheath)
Which blood vessels are primarily responsible for regulating blood pressure?
Arterioles
what is the purpose of a metarteriole?
capillary bypass
Capillary sphincters are controlled by _______.
paracrine signalling from the organs. ORGANS DETERMINE BLOOD FLOW
what kind of capillaries are found in the kidneys?
fenestrated
Where is most of systemic blood located?
Veins. 70%
Venae Comitantes are
deep veins that accompany arteries. one per artery
in what layer would you find the superficial veins?
superficial fascia
vericosity
distension due to pooling of blood
what is a major possible complication of phlebitis?
suffocation. phlebitis can cause clotting. thrombosis forms, breaks off to become embolis, moves to lung, blocks respiratory function, suffocation
what is the function of the hepatic portal vein
carry blood from GI tract capillaries to liver capillaries

convex outer surface, hillus
The unit of response to antigens is the ______
lymph nodule (found in nodes and other lymphatic organs)
what are the major sites of lymph node clustering
popliteal, inguinal, cubital and axillary, along major blood vessels, in the mesentery, mediastinum, along IJV in neck, superficial to mandible, deep in face
what causes lymphedema?
a constricted/occluded vessel or removal of a node. causes backup and swelling
