What is Meninges
|
Protective Tissue around the brain and spinal cord
|
|
How many layers and what are their names of Meninges?
|
3, Dura Mater, Arachnoid Mater and Pia Mater
|
|
What is in between each layer within the Meninges?
|
CSF
|
|
Describe Dura Mater
|
Tough and Fiberous, Outermost layer
|
|
Describe Arachnoid Mater
|
Middle layer of Meninges that resembles a spider's web
|
|
Describe Pia Mater
|
innermost lining of meninges, helps form the CHOROID PLEXUS (which makes CSF)
|
|
Spinal Cord extends from the ___ cervical vertabrae to the bottom of the ___ lumbar vertebra
|
first, first
|
|
A transverse section of the spinal cord contains what types of matter?
|
Gray and white
|
|
The gray matter contains and is shaped like?
|
a butterfly or H.
Contains the Transverse Commissure Ventral Horn, lateral horn and dorsal horn |
|
The horns can also be called what?
|
columns
|
|
The ventral horns contain what types of nerve cells
|
motor
|
|
The dorsal horns contain what types of nerve cells
|
sensory
|
|
The transverse commisure is what?
|
The midline of the gray matter within the spinal cord.
|
|
The white matter of the spinal cord contains what
|
funiculi (ventral, lateral and dorsal)
|
|
Each funiculis contains what
|
Ascending fiber tracts, descending fiber tracts and short segemental fiber tracts
|
|
The ascending fiber tracts help
|
transmit visceral and proprioceptal (percetion awareness) information to the subcotrival motor centers
|
|
The descending fiber tracts help
|
carry impulses from the high motor centers outwards
|
|
The short segmental fibers help
|
mediate reflexive behavior (reflex arc) within the spinal cord
|
|
The peripheral nervous system consists of
|
any nerve process/neuron outside the bony confines of the skull and vertebral column.
|
|

|
accessory, activates the sternocleoidmastoid and trapezius, motor
|
|
Name the last Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
|
hypoglossal, control of tongue movement, motor
|
