Term
CELLS of the CNS
Definition
NEURONS: HUGH BETZ cell motor cortex
TINY granule cells cerebellum
GLIA: neuroECTOdermal
ASTROCYTES: support, repair, BBB
OLIGODENDROCYTES: produce myelin
EPENDYMAL:line ventricle make CSF
MICROGLIA: mesoderm phagocytes from
macrophage and monocyte line
Term
NEURONS RXN to INJURY
Definition
Chromotolysis: axonal rxn
Red Neuron
Neruonal atrophy: degeneration
Intraneruonal deposits
Term
CHROMATOLYSIS
Definition
rxn of perikaryon to injurs ... axonal trasection ... swelling of cell body w/ peripheral displancement of nucleus and Nissl substance
crush laceration to axon or poliomyelitis
Term
RED NEURON
Definition
acute injury leading to cell death
SHRINKAGE of cell body
intense EOSINOPHILIA of cytoplasm
PYKNOSIS of nucleus and LOSS Nissl Body
irreversible, hypoxia, hypoxiemia, ischemia
Term
INTRANEURONAL DEPOSITS
Definition
LIPOFUSCIN: aging
Ca2+: tumor
VIRAL: Cowdry bodies = herpes
Nergi bodies = rabies
DEGENERATIVE DZ:
Neurofibrillary tangle = Alz
Lewy bodies = Parkinson
Term
NEURONAL ATROPY (DEGENERATION)
Definition
neron SHRIVELS and becomes HYPERCHROMATIC, gradual death and loss of neruons secondary to PROGRESSIVE disease (ALS)
irreversible chronic
Term
ASTROCYTES
Definition
H&E stain only nuclei seen
metalic impregnation tech = goligi mech
mutitple CYTOPLASMIC branchin processes
+GFAP (Glial Fibriallary protein =
immuno stain
BBB and CSF BB
help repair ... reactive = gemistocytes
respond to injury = gliosis = glial scar = NO CT or fibroblasts
fibrially astrocytes ==> astrocytomas
in white matter
protoplasmic astrocytes in gray matter
have CD4 marker attach HIV
Term
GLIOSIS
Definition
astrocytes response to injury
glial scar = no fibroblast or CT
cell body expands (see lots pink cytoplasm)
Term
OLIGODENDROCYTES
Definition
produce and maintain CNS myelin
(Schwann cell in PNS)
few dendrites
HORTEGA'S silver imporenation
H&E stain nucleus is dark, round and suround by clear halo (fried eggs)
contain MBP = myelin binding protein
MAG = myelin ass glycoprotien
in WHITE matter along axons
do NOT regenerate do NOT effect remyelinate (MS)
Term
EPENDYMAL
Definition
single cuboidal cells, ciliated
line ventricles, aqueduct of Sylvius, cental canal of sinal cord
rest on subependymas glia
do NOT regenerate
injury causes SUBEPENDYMAL ASTROCYTIC prolifer = EPENDYMAL GRANULATIONS ==> obstruction of aqueduct ==> HYDROCEPEPHALUS ... CHOROID PLEXUS EPITH ... produce CSF
Term
MICROGLIA
Definition
from MESODERMAL bone marrow origin
from macrophage or monocyte origin
mobile & phagocytic (CR3+, CD68+, CD4+)
H&E elongated ... on HORTEGA silver stain fine cytoplasmic processes
neruosyphillis "ROD CELLS" when activated
Term
CMV and EPENDYMAL CELLS
Definition
infects causes damage ... inflam ... granulations ... congenital hydrocephalus
Term
MICROGLIA funct
Definition
breakdown myelin, engult and show minute vacoules ... "GLITTER" cells
viral disease ... ricketsia --> microglial nodules
tumors of microglia are lymphomas NOT gliomas ... 1' CNS LYMPHOMAS
