Fiber type:
preganglionic autonomic, myelinated
Type B
Fiber type:
postganglionic sympathetics, unmyelinated
(dorsal Root-pain,temp, mechanoreception)
Type C
Function of the nervous system:
communication;
Function of PNS:
keep other tissues of the body in communication with the central nervous system
What makes up the CNS? PNS?
CNS=brain and spinal cord
PNS=ganglia, nerves, nerve endings, organs of special senses
The signaling properties of thhe nervous tissue express two fundamental attributes of protoplasm?
1. excitability-create APs
2. conductivity- propagaion of APs
Cell body of a neuron
soma
cytoplasm of a neuron
perikaryon
Two types of radiating cell processes?
axon-transmission
dendtrite-reception
Type of neuron that has only one process, an axon.
Pseudounipolar
Where are pseudounipolar neurons found?
Sensory ganglia associated with dorsal roots and of certain cranial nerves
Bipolar neurons differentiate into what?
pseudounipolar neurons
Type of neuron with two processes, both axons.
bipolar neurons
Neurons with three or more processes, one of which is an axon and the others dendrites
multipolar neurons
Where are the cell bodies of bipolar neurons found?
retina, vestibular and acoustic ganglia. fetus
Where are the cell bodies of multipolar neurons found?
central nervous system and autonomic ganglia
An axon plus one or two coverings
nerve fiber
all nerve fibers have what?
Sheath of Schwann and some have a myelin sheath
Points at which an axon is devoid of myelin
node of ranvier
deceptive, false interruptions are the incisures of what
clefts of Schmidt-Lantermann
A spongy framework visible after myelin extraction during processesing is what?
neurokeratin network
Nerve fibers are organized into several bundles known as _____. the nerve fibers are surrounded by a delicate connective tissue called the ______
fasicles
endoneurium
Immediately surrounding the fascile is a dense connective tissue composed of perineurial cells, longitudinally arranged collagen fibrils and numerous blood and lymphatic vessels.
Perineurium
The fascicles are bound by this into a nerve trunk; dense connective tissue containing collagen and elastic fibers, fat, and blood vessels.
epineurium
70% of myelin is ?
Composed of what two major things?
lipid; cholesterol and cerebroside
Major dense lines are caused by the fusion of the __ surface of the Schwann PM. What protein is found there?
P; Myelin Basic protein
Intraperiod lines are the fusion of the __ surfaces of the Schwann PM. What protein is found there?
E; Protein zero (Po)
Nerve impulse conduction can be blocked by what things?
cold, heat, pressure on the nerve fiber
anesthetics-complete blocking
nerves of various sizes often accompany blood vessels and this arrangement is referred to as a
neurovascular bundle
Always short, highly branched, and conduct graded potentials?
Dendrites
What type of graded potentials can a dendrite conduct?
EPSP
IPSP
Long, can be short, collateral branches, terminal boutons, conduct action potentials?
Axon
Axolemma=PM
Axoplasm=cytoplasm
What is responsible for axonal transport?
Microtubules
Where AP is started? never myelinated

RER + free polysomes=
nissyl bodies
What makes up the neurofibrils?
MTs and neurofilaments
What is absent in the axon hillock and axon?
RER
Where is the locations of the voltage gated NA channels?
all over the axon but only active at the Nodes of Ranvier, the myelin prevents them from opening.

Where do graded potentials summate?
At trigger zone of inital segment
What is the threshhold membrane potential
-50mV; will propogate an AP in an all or none response
What type of conduction is in myelinated axons?
saltatory
What restores the resting membrane potential?
Na/K pumps
What type of conduction is in unmyelinated axons?
continuous; requires a lot of ATP and is very slow.
