Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

Neuroblastoma originates from _____ cells and can occur anywhere along the sympathetic chain

_____ are the predominant type of glial cell in white matter

Contents of superior orbital fissure: Within the common tendinous ring: BAN (Intermediate compartment)_____Abducens nerveNasociliary nerve

Pre-ganglionic sympathetic neurons from _____ - L2 can bypass the sympathetic chain and synapse in prevertebral (pre-aortic) ganglia (splanchnic nerves)

The nerve to _____, branch of 3rd cranial nerve carries parasympathetic fibers to the ciliary ganglion.

Hint: muscle

Layers _____ of the LGB receive the projections of the axons from the nasal retina of the contralateral eye (crossed fibres)

_____ visceral efferent column contains neurons innervating muscles developed from the pharyngeal arches: Motor nucleus of V nerve: innervating muscles of masticationMotor nucleus of VII nerve: innervating muscles of facial expressionNucleus ambiguus ( IX, X, XI): innervating stylopharyngeus, pharyngeal, external laryngeal and oesophageal striated muscles

Hint: G/S

Rules of 4: There are four _____ structures that start with 'M'1. Motor pathway (corticospinal tract)2. Medial lemniscus 3. Medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) 4. Motor nuclei/nerves (CN III, IV, VI, XII)

The fasciculus _____ is the medial (medial or lateral) dorsal column

The cell bodies of the _____ganglionic sympathetic neurons are located in the lateral horn in the spinal grey matter.
