Document Summary
The cytoskeleton: microtubules support and transport, neurofilaments support, microfilaments support and anchoring membrane proteins (also moving growth cones during development) Ii: neuroanatomical methods - deals with observation of the different neuronal structures of the nervous system. Stains cell body in particular, the endoplasmic reticulum (er) ribosomes. Stains a limited number of cells at random in their entirety (less than 1%) Uses silver nitrate and potassium chromate: retrograde transport movement toward the cell body, anterograde transport movement toward the synapse. Cellular injection methods: designed to understand the function of the hippocampus. Electron microscopy microscope that uses a beam of electrons to create an image of the specimen: capable of high magnification, can be done in a variety of ways (ex. Freeze fracture great for seeing certain places) Shape of a neuron will condition the things it can do. O unipolar one process from cell body; single, very short process splits into longer processes (a dendrite plus an axon)
