Study Notes
Cerebrospinal Fluid Location
- Cerebrospinal fluid is found in the subarachnoid space.
Corpus Callosum Function
- The corpus callosum connects the right and left cerebral hemispheres.
Smiling Muscle
- The zygomaticus muscle is known as the "smiling muscle".
Medulla Oblongata Descent
- The medulla oblongata descends into the vertebral cavity through the foramen magnum.
Nerve Impulse Transmission
- Neurons conduct nerve impulses.
Neuromuscular Junction Neurotransmitter
- Acetylcholine (ACh) is released into the neuromuscular junction by somatic motor neurons.
Mastication Muscle Insertion
- Muscles involved in mastication insert into the mandible.
Medulla Oblongata Characteristics
- The medulla oblongata is an infratentorial structure sensitive to opioids.
Meninges Composition
- Meninges are protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Chief Breathing Muscle
- The diaphragm is the chief breathing muscle, separating the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
White Matter Composition
- White matter is composed of myelin.
Neurotransmitter Storage
- Neurotransmitters are stored within axon terminals of a neuron.
Eyelid Raising Muscle
- The levator palpebrae superioris muscle raises the eyelids.
Myasthenia Meaning
- Myasthenia means muscle weakness.
Striated and Involuntary Muscle Type
- Cardiac muscle is striated and involuntary.
Forearm Flexion Muscles
- The brachialis and brachioradialis muscles flex the forearm at the elbow.
Quadriceps Femoris Muscles
- The vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris are the quadriceps femoris group.
Actin Cross-Bridge Protein
- Myosin forms cross-bridges with actin.
Muscle to Bone Connection
- Tendons connect muscle to bone.
Potassium Efflux Effect
- The efflux of potassium (K+) during an action potential causes repolarization.
