Study Notes

Peripheral Nervous System

  • Clusters of neuronal cell bodies are called ganglia.
  • Neuronal processes transmitting signals away from the cell body are axons.
  • Neuronal processes carrying signals toward the cell body are dendrites.
  • Clusters of neuronal cell bodies in the central nervous system are called nuclei.
  • Neurons carrying information from the CNS to peripheral organs are motor neurons.

Glial Cells

  • Schwann cells myelinate axons in the peripheral nervous system.
  • Astrocytes support neurons and maintain the blood-brain barrier.

Action Potential

  • Resting potential of an axon is represented by label A.
  • Repolarization of an axon is represented by label C.
  • Depolarization of an axon is represented by label B.
  • The relative refractory period is the period where inhibition of an action potential requires a higher than normal threshold stimulus.
  • The absolute refractory period is the period where an action action potential cannot be initiated regardless of the stimulus strength.
  • Depolarization results from rapid sodium ion entry.
  • Hyperpolarization results from excessive potassium ion exit.

PhysioEx Exercise

  • Curare inhibits nerve function.
  • Lidocaine inhibits nerve function.

Ear Anatomy

  • Endolymph fills the cochlear duct.
  • Perilymph fills the scala tympani.

Eye Anatomy and Function

  • Bending of light is called refraction.
  • Inability to focus on far objects is myopia.
  • Inability to focus on close objects is hyperopia.
  • Superior oblique muscle is supplied by the trochlear nerve.
  • Inferior oblique muscle is supplied by the oculomotor nerve.
  • Superior rectus muscle is supplied by the oculomotor nerve.
  • Ciliary body is part of the vascular tunic.
  • Cornea is part of the fibrous tunic.

Connective Tissue

  • Connective tissue is classified by matrix composition, protein fiber type, cell arrangement, and cell type.

Epithelial Tissue

  • Simple epithelium is one cell layer thick.
  • Stratified epithelium is multiple cell layers thick.

Muscle Tissue

  • Skeletal muscle is excitable and contractile.
  • Nervous tissue is excitable but not contractile.
  • Centrioles direct mitotic spindle formation.

Bone Anatomy

  • Foramen is a round opening through a bone.
  • Crest is a prominent, narrow ridge.
  • Wormian bones are tiny bones between cranial sutures.
  • Sutures are fibrous joints.

Muscle Nomenclature

  • Muscle names often relate to shape, action, location of origin and insertion, and frequency of stimulation.

Synovial Joints

  • Plane joints have gliding movements.
  • Pivot joints allow rotation around a single axis.
  • Sarcoplasmic reticulum is the endoplasmic reticulum of a skeletal muscle cell.
