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 |
