Anatomy and Physiology 2

Connects cerebellum to midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata for communication

Floor of midbrain; made of ascending tracts and red nuclei

Loosely packed nuclei in brainstem responsible for cyclic activities like the sleep-wake cycle.

Local potentials that add on to each other

Glial cells in the cns that phagocytize necrotic tissue and foreign substances in the blood.

Glial cells in the cns that line the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. Help form choroid plexuses in the ventricles and have cilia that move csf through the brain.

Yellow spot in the posterior region of the eye, helps make up the region of the retina where light is focused.

Venous ring that returns aqueous humor to the circuylatory system.

Continuous with choroid. Produces aqueous humor

Proprioceptor that generates action potentials as long as a stimulus is applied and accomodates slowly.

Proprioceptor that accomodates rapidly and more sensitive to stimuli changes

Provides information about the precise position and the rate of movement of various body parts. (weight of object in hand)

Sensory receptors that detect deep cutaneous pressure, vibration and proprioception.

Sensory receptors that detect light touch and superficial pressure

Tests tibial nerve
