  • Discussion on various A&P questions

    The myelin sheath, a fatty substance that surrounds and envelops most neurons (white matter in the brain and spinal cord are myelinated neurons, as well as most neurons in peripheral nerves) is actually made up of the cell membranes of cells that wrap

  • Anatomical features of the neuron

    For example, the brain and spinal cord are made up of many cells, including neurons and glial cells. Neurons are cells that send and receive electro-chemical signals to and from the brain and nervous system.

  • different types of fluids

    One also finds cerebrospinal fluid in the spinal column that communicates with the ventricles and fluid found in the brain. One finds white matter-- myelinated axons and grey matter-- dendries and cell bodies-- in the spinal cord.

  • Motor Neuron

    Assuming that segmentation of the spinal cord follows a similar pattern in all mammals, approx in which of the 4 major regions of the spinal cord and within which spinal cord structure would you expect to find the axon terminals of neuron 1?

  • Types and functions of neurons

    There are 3 different types of neurons: Sensory, Interneurons, and Motor Neurons Sensory Neurons- They run various types of stimulus receptors such as touch, odor, taste, sound and vision to the central nervous system (CNS), the brain and spinal cord

  • Classification, organization, and function of neurons

    Synapses: We know the neuron 1 is synapsing with neurons in the spinal cord and neuron two is synapsing with other neurons with in the primary motor cortex.

  • CNS disorder

    Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) studies reveal many plaques in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord. (1) The central nervous system contains the brain and the spinal cord.

  • Multiple Sclerosis MS

    Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) studies reveal many plaques in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord. (1) The central nervous system contains the brain and the spinal cord.

  • Nervous Systems

    There are two key organs of the CNS they are the brain and spinal cord. The brain develops and comprehends sensory information which come from the spinal cord.
