synapse/ Brian

There are three types of common synapses observed which are?

Axoaxonic Synapse

Axodendritic Synapse

Axosomatic Synapse

Axodendritic Synapse is the most?

Most common

Axodendritic Synapse

Synaptic Knobs of pre-synaptic neuron interact with dendrites of post-synaptic neuron.

Axosomatic Synapse

Synaptic Knobs of pre-synaptic neuron interact with cell body of post-synaptic neuron.

Axoaxonic Synapse

Synaptic Knobs of pre-synaptic neuron interact with synaptic knob of post-synaptic neuron.

The brain and the spinal cord have two distinct types of Neural Tissue which make them up?

The Gray Matter

The White Matter

The White Matter

Contains myelinated neurons, which give the tissue its color

The White Matter Contains areas of Gray Matter called?

Cerebral Nuclei deep Within

The Gray Matter

Houses motor neuron and interneuron cell bodies, dendrites, terminal arborizations, and unmyelinated axons

External Layer of Gray Matter that surrounds the entire brain is known as the

Cerebral cortex

The Brain and Spinal Cord are protected and supported by Connective Tissue called?

Meninges

The Meninges found in the Brain are called?

Cranial Meninges

The Meninges found in the Spinal Cord are called?

Spinal Cord Meninges and are continuous with the Cranial Meninges

Dura mater

is the outer layer, closest to your skull

Arachnoid mater

Is the middle layer

Pia Mater

Is the inner layer, close to your Brian tissue
