- Perikaryon-The soma, or cyton or perikaryon, is the bulbous end of a neuron, containing the cell nucleus.
- multipolar-these are inerneurons or motor neurons that have more than two poles or axon extentions
- pseudomonopolar- these are neurons that only appear to have one pole.
- Neurilemma- This is a thin layer of Schawann cell cytoplasm continuous with myelin sheath. Contains nucleus and organelles.
- Ependyma-thin epithelial membrane lining the ventricles of the brain and the spinal cord canal
This week in Histology was very interesting. I like case studies because it gives me the opportunity to apply what I have learnt and it makes me feel as though I am on the right track to becoming a doctor. I also like to hear my classmates’ point of view on the same study and oral case study presents a great opportunity to do so. This class has proved itself to fit my career goals very well as it orients me by focusing on the tissues in more depth than I did before which is essential knowledge if I want to become a pediatrician. The information I learn helps with other classes as well as reinforces information I have already learnt. I learn visually and Kinesthetically and although I did not really encountered anything that appeals to my learning style this week, I still learnt a lot through the case study. This class changes the way I watch TV (in the little time I have to do so) because I find myself evaluating the science content and double-checking if what is said is in fact correct. This also changed the way I interact with my friends because whenever a topic that has to do with science comes up I also check to see if what is said is correct. This was a great week in histology class.
