Anesthesia Anatomy

Neurons

Neurons are the longest cells in the body that are responsible for conducting nerve impulses or signals including pain and other exterior senses.

Dendrites

Dendrites are a part of neurons in which allow each neuron to receive incoming messages.

Epineuriums

Peripheral Nerves

Tissues that are affected by anesthesia include the Epineurium which occupies the entire nerve fibers and loosely holds it to the other connective tissues.

Peripheral nerves are consisted of neurons and are the part of the nervous system located outside of the brain and spinal cord. Within anesthesia neurons, dendrites, and axons conduct pain sensations in which the peripheral as well as spinal nerves are dulled to decrease the feeling of pain during operations.

Axons

Overview and tissues

Axons also known as nerve fibers are also located inside of neurons and can have multiple lengths. Axons are responsible for conducting outgoing messages.

Within anesthesiology, an understanding of the body or anatomy is needed. This aspect is required in order to keep anesthesiologist aware of the body parts that should be affected. Anatomy is heavily used during regional anesthesia since only specific parts need treatment. The main areas that anesthesia affects are connective tissues and peripheral/spinal nerves inside of the injected area. Connective tissues are formed by dorsal and ventral roots under the first levels of skin. And connective tissues of spinal nerves are grouped into epineurium, perineurium, and endoneurium categories.

Endoneuriums

Endoneuriums are the fine connective tissues inside of fascicles that surrounds each nerve fiber or axon.

Perineuriums

Perineuriums surround groups of axons that bundle together to form nerve fascicles.
