|
The cell bodies of motor neurons to skeletal muscles are located in the _____ gray horns |
Anterior |
|
The outermost connective tissue covering of nerves is the ______ |
Epineurium |
|
If the dorsal root of a spinal nerve is severed, ________ input would be blocked (sensory/motor) |
Sensory |
|
The outward projections from the central gray matter of the spinal cord toward the outer surface of the cord are called ______. |
Horns |
|
Bill contracts a viral disease that destroys cells in the posterior gray horns in his spinal cord. As a result he would probably suffer from a loss of _________. (Sensation/movement) |
Sensation |
|
Spinal cord consist of five regions and _______ nerve roots |
31 |
|
The dorsal root ganglia mainly contains cell bodies of _____ neurons |
Sensory |
|
Action potentials and dorsal nerve Roots propagate ________ the cord |
Towards |
|
What is the correct order of meninges from superficial to Deep |
Dura mater, arachnoid Mater, Pia Mater |
|
Anterior horns of the spinal cord mainly contain _______ nuclei |
Somatic motor |
|
An action potentials of ventral nerve Roots propagate ______ the cord |
Away from |
|
The gray horns of the spinal cord contain mainly neuronal cell ______ |
Bodies |
|
The specialized membranes that surround the spinal cord are termed the ______ |
Meninges |
|
The Reflex that causes relaxation and prevents a muscle from exerting too much tension is the _________ reflex |
Golgi tendon |
|
The posterior horns of the spinal cord contain mainly ______ nuclei |
Sensory |
|
The layer of connective tissue that surrounds individual axons within a peripheral nerve is termed the ____________ |
Endoneurium |
|
Define somatic |
Transmits information from the skin and skeletal muscles to the CNS |
|
Define Visceral neurons |
Transmits information from internal organs to the central NS |
|
This horn is only in the thoracic and Lumbar segments of the spine |
The lateral horn which contains visceral/automatic motor nuclei |
|
List the connective tissue layers of a spinal nerve from superficial to Deep |
Epineurium, perineurium (divides compartments into fasicles), endoneurium (connect the tissue) |
|
Spinal nerve forms just _____ to the intervertebral foramen where the dorsal and ventral Roots Unite |
Lateral |
|
Interneurons in the CNS are organized into |
Neuronal pools which are functional groups of interconnected neurons |
|
Simple circuits and the penis and spinal cord control |
Reflexes |
|
What is Divergence and how is it related to neural circuits |
Divergences when one year on spreads information. An example is sensory information coming to CNS |
|
What is Convergence and how does it relate to neural circuits |
Convergence is when several neurons synapse on a single postsynaptic neuron. Ex: breathing movements of diaphragm and ribs can be controlled subconsciously or consciously |
|
This is the best known monosynaptic reflex and an example of this type of reflex is the patellar reflex |
Stretch reflex |
|
What are postural reflexes and what are the three things they do (3 including description of it) |
They are many stretch reflexes that help maintain upright posture. -They coordinate activities of opposing muscles to keep body's weight off of feet. - postural muscles generally have per muscle tone and extremely sensitive stretch receptors which allow for fine subconscious adjustments |
|
What kind of receptor are Golgi tendon organs and where are they found |
They're proprioceptors and they're found in the muscle tendon. In the reflex arc interneurons are inhibitory and the product of the reflex is muscle relaxation |
|
What are ipsilateral reflexes vs. Contralateral reflexes and give examples |
Ipsilateral reflexes happen on the same side such a stretch reflex and withdrawal reflex, contralateral reflexes happen on opposing sides such as the crossed extensor reflex |
|
What is the defining feature of withdrawal reflexes and what are some examples |
May contain many pools of interneurons and our intense and cause a localization of stimulus effect. An example is the flexor reflex and the crossed extensor reflex |
|
What is reciprocal inhibition |
When interneurons activate two different neurons for reflux such as::: activated motor neurons in anterior horns to the contract flexor muscles and activated inhibitory interneurons that keep extensions relaxed |
