nervous-chordate
Olfactory, facial (total 12 cranial), spinal nerve.
nervous
Ganglia are not segmented in spinal cord, bur neurons are.
brain
12-13 cranial nerves: optic, olfactory, facial.
Cerebrospinal fluid from blood.
White matter can be regenerated; interior of brain, exterior of spinal cord.
glia
Microglia=~moving macrophages; antibodies cannot cross BBBarrier (only gases, hormones).
Astrocytes -> capillary cells form tight junctions (tight transmembrane proteins).
except L-dopa converted to dopamine neurotransmitter (Parkinson).
knee-jerk
KNEE-JERK: quadriceps=extensor, hamstring=flexor.
Axons from spinal cord to feet a meter.
Tendons attach muscle to bone.
brain_cerebrum
Cortex also in kidney, adrenal, ground tissue.
brain-hemispheres
Basal nuclei: planning and learning movement sequences.
Dolphins sleep with one brain hemisphere at a time.
cerebral_cortex
Cognition=ability to reason and learn that contributes to an accumulation of knowledge.
BBC-LifeOfBirds/1.3_TheInsatiableAppetite/#36:05
New Caledonian Crow uses stick to irritate huge grub from log.
Whales also have large neocortex. Bird Pallium organized into nuclei, mammals in layers.
brain-lobes
Primary sensory areas also smell/taste. Somatosensory=touch/temp. Association areas larger in humans.
cortex
22 facial muscles function in communication.
neural_plasticity
sensitization.

- hair cell: detects motion in vertebrate ear and in lateral line systems of fishes and amphibians.
- Encapsulated dendrites: thermoreceptors?
- Nociceptors naked dendrites: pain
- Magnetic
sense in birds may be in pineal gland (human circadian rhythms)
- Motion sickness: CNS receives conflicting messages from sensory receptors; inner ear detects motion, eyes see stationary.
- MSG
sodium salt of glutamate from seaweed broth or fermenting by bacteria.
- 10 million olfactory receptors, 1000 different types, 10,000 odors can detect 3 or 4 odor molecules dissolved in lipid-rich mucus; 10,000 taste buds.
- rabbits 100 million receptors, dogs 1 billion.
- Olfactory nerve to olfactory cortex in limbic system: 2 neurons in direct pathway.
- Sclera: fibrin
- Glaucoma: block ducts that drain aqueous humor, pressure compresses retina.
- Cataract: opacity in the lens: UV, diabetes denatured proteins.
- Suspensory ligament: conn. tisse supports a body part; penis, ovary; collagen fibres elastic can be stretched.
- Inverted retina: from inner layer of the cup: light-sensitive elements are located at the outer regions,'
neural connection to the brain from the inner region.
- Primary colors:
CMY subtractive, RGB additive.
- Ball/socket: humerus-shoulder (pectoral girdle), femur-hip (pelvis)
Hinge: jaws, knees
Pivot: skull/vertebrae, rotate forarm
