Respuesta
-
The somatic efferent neuron and the first neuron of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
-
The somatic afferent neuron and the first neuron of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
-
The somatic efferent neuron and the second neuron of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
-
The somatic efferent neuron and the second neuron of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
Pregunta 2
Pregunta
Which statements about the external anatomy of the spinal cord are true?
Respuesta
-
It ends at the superior border of the second lumbar vertebrae. (L2).
-
It leaves the skull though the foramen magnum.
-
It is within the meningeal sack, which sits inside the spinal cavity.
-
The spinal cavity surrounds the vertebrae.
Pregunta 3
Pregunta
The CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) is to provide cushioning as well as nutrients.
Pregunta 4
Pregunta
From the deepest part to the most superior part, the spinal cord is protected by CSF > Adipose Tissue > Meninges > Vertebrae
Pregunta 5
Pregunta
Which statement about the external anatomy of the associated features of the spinal cord is false?
Respuesta
-
The conus medularis and filum terminale are connective tissue.
-
The filum terminale is an extension of the nerves.
-
The conus medularis is a tapered cone at the distal end of the spinal cord/meningeal sack.
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
Spinal nerves are named after the vertebrae/spinal cord region they exit/enter. The spinal cord, from superior region to most inferior region, goes Cervical > Thoracic > Lumbar > Sacrum.
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
Inferior to the end of the spinal cord, some lumbar and all sacral nerves continue to exit the vertebral column.
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Which statement about the cauda equina is false.
Respuesta
-
It is the region of the meningeal sack inferior to the spinal cord.
-
At its most inferior point, spinal nerves exit the cauda equina at the coccygeal level.
-
The existence of the cauda equina means that you can only damage your spinal nerves if the spinal cord is damaged.
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
The central canal is more of a theoretical or potential space than a real space.
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
White matter is cell bodies.
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Which of these statements about the internal anatomy of the spinal cord is correct?
Respuesta
-
Neurons leaving the ventral root always synapse with skeletal muscle.
-
The dorsal root ganglion carries afferent information to the brain.
-
The anterior region of the spinal cord carries ascending information.
-
Damage to the posterior region of the spine affects motor control.
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
The dorsal root ganglia and the sympathetic chain ganglia are the same thing.
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
The dorsal root ganglion contain cell bodies of neurons which are unipolar.
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
A spinal nerve contains both afferent and efferent information.
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
The ventral ramus is one of two diverging paths from a spinal nerve, which brings both afferent and efferent information to the posterior of the body.
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
The sympathetic chain ganglia diverge from the dorsal ramus.
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
A bundle of axons in the PNS is called a tract.
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
A nerve is fascicles surrounded by perineurium containing axons surrounded by endoneurium, bundled together with blood vessels and surrounded by epineurium.
