Spinal cord start and end

Starts: Forman magnum


Ends: at L1/L2 (tapper's off into conus medullaris)



Nerves continues as cauda equine

Cauda equina

"Horses tail"


The continuation of the nerves down the spin cord until they exist

Filum terminale

Anchors conus medullaris (cone shape at end of spinal cord) to coccyx



Made of extension of pia mater (CT)

Central canal

Contains CSF

Function of spinal cord

Carry nerve impulses


Produce reflexes (automatic responses)

Parts of spinal cord

1. Anterior median fissure (deep)


2. Posterior median sulcus (shallow)


3. Central canal


4. Gray and white matter

Gray matter (cross bar and horns)

H shape



Cross bar = gray comnissure



3 horns


1. Dorsal horn = sensory


2. Lateral horn = motor


3. Ventral horn = motor

Anterior median fissure and posterior median sulcus

Separate cord into left and right halves

White matter columns in spinal cord

1. Dorsal column


2. Lateral column


3. Vebtral column



12 cranial nerves saying

Oh ,Oh, Oh, to touch and feel very giant volcano, AH hot!

Spinal nerves

8 cervical


12 thoracic


5 lumber


5 sacral


1 coccygel



ALL mixed!

Spinal nerves 2 points of attachment

1. Dorsal root (sensory; sell body in dorsal root ganglion)



2. Ventral root (motor neurons; cell body in ventral or lateral horn)

Spinal nerve

Joining of dorsal and ventral roots



Immediately divide into rami (branches)

2 rami of spinal cord

1. Dorsal ramus (innervate skin & back muscles)



2. Ventral ramus (forms thoracic nerves (T2-T12) or forms nerves plexuses)

4 spinal plexus (nerve networks)

1. Cervical (C1-5) phrenic


2.brachial (C5-T1) arms


3. Lumber (L1-L4 femoral


4. Sacral (L4-S4) sciatic/ tibial and fibular

Whic cranial nerves are sensory or mixed

1 and 2 sensory


8 mostly sensory



All other mixed

Rami communicates

Connect ventral ramus to sympathetic truck


Contain autonomic nerve fibres (neurons)

Cross section of nerve

1. Epineurium (around while nerves)


2. Perineurium (around fasicicles


3. Endoneuium (around axing and myelin)


*ALL CT*


Peripheral nervous system: Sensory/Afferent Divison

1. Receptors


2. First order neurons

Receptors (3 types of classification)

Detect changes in environment


Classified by:


1. Location


2. Type of stimuli recieved


3. Structure of receptors (general senses only)


Receptors (PSN) afferent 3 location neurons

1. Exteroceptors


2. Interoceptors


3.proprioceptors

Exteroceptor (PNS-Sensory receptors)

Stimuli in external environment.



Receptors at body surface (touch, most special senses)

Interoceptors (PNS: Sensory receptors)

Stimuli in internal environment (in viscera, blood vessels, ect.)

Proprioceptors (PNS)

Located in joints, skeletal muscle, ect



Monitor body position (stretch receptors, muscle spindles)


balance and movement

Sensory receptors classified by Types of stimulus receive

1. Mechanoreceptors (pressure, touch, hearing(hair cells move))


2. Thermoreceptors


3. Chemoreceptors


4. Photoreceptors (light)


5. Nociceptors (pain)

PNS Sensory neurons classified by structure

*general senses only*



1. Free nerve endings - terminal dendrites of unipolar sensory neurons (pain,, root hair plexus)



2. Encapsulated nerve endings-terminal dendrite enclosed in CT (meissner and pacinia corpuscles)



2. Encapsulated nerve endings

First order neurons

Sensory neurons


Ubipolor


Axon in crnial/spinal nerve


First order of neurons cell bodies

A. Sensory ganglia of cranial nerves


B. Dorsal root ganglia of spinal cord


First order neurons axon terminals in

A. Brain nuclei


B. Dorsal horn of spinal cord

Trigeminal

5th cranial nerve


Crowing and general senses from face

Vagus

10th cranial nerve



Parasympathetic (control heart, lungs, digestion tract)

Vestibulocochlear

8th nerve


Sound and balance
