Coronal or Frontal Planes
The basic unit of the nervous system
Similarity to other cells
Shwann cells vs Oligodendrocytes
White matter and gray matter
Myelin Staining in the Spinal cord
A brief Consideration of the PNS; an artificial division
The vertebral column
Each vertebra houses a spinal cord segment
Each segment is similar
Dorsal = sensoryVentral = motor
Each segment gives rise to nerve pairs
And the column collectively gives rise to 30 peripheral nerve
pairs
Each nerve pair contains thousands of incoming and outgoing
axons
The Somatic Branch of the PNS- Provides all somatosensory
information to the central nervous system (brain)
Sensory dermatomes
The Somatic Branch of the PNS relays motor output to skeletal
muscles(Not smooth muscle)
The other subdivision of the PNS-the ANS
Sympathetic activation may be magnified by adrenal gland
