9.Introduction To Neuroanatomy & Spinal Cord-yapraklar

Astrocytes are types of neuroglia forming myelin

The visceroreceptors (interoceptors) are located in the blood vessels, walls of the organs, and in glands as free nerve endings.

Cutaneous nerves, as they approach their final destination, commonly form fine plexuses.

The spinal cord extends from foramen magnum to lower border of L1 (first lumbar vertebra).

The brain gets 5 % of the cardiac output.

The brain doubles its weight when the human being becomes 5 years old.

The blood in the dural sinuses ultimately drains into the internal jugular veins in the neck.

The epicritic sensation is a discriminative sensation.
