olfactory: origin
fibers arise from olfactory receptors in the nasal mucosa and synapse with the olfactory bulbs (which in turn sends fibers to the olfactory cortex)
what number is olfactory?
one, I
function of olfactory
purely sensory; carries impulses for the sense of smell
optic is which number?
two, II
optic: origin
fibers arise from the retina of the eye and form the optic nerve. the 2 optic nerves form the optic chiasma by partial crossover of the fibers; the fibers continue to the optic cortex as the optic tracts
function of optic
purely sensory; carries impulses for vision
oculomoter: origin
fibers run from the midbrain to the eye
function of oculomoter
supplies motorfibers to 4 of the 6 muscles that direct the eyeball; to the eyelid; to the internal eye muscles controlling lens shape and pupil size
which cranial nerve contorls eye movement?
oculomoter and trochlear
oculomoter is what number?
three, III
trochlear is what number?
four, IV
trochlear: origin
fibers run from the midbrain to the eye
function of trochlear
supplies motor fibers for one external eye muscle (superior oblique)
which two cranial nerves run from the midbrain to the eye?
oculomotor and trochlear
trigeminal is what number?
five, V
Trigeminal: origin
fibers emerge from the pons and form 3 divisions that run to the face
trigeminal function
conducts sensory impulses from the stem of the face and muscosa of the nose and mouth also contains motor fibers that activate the chewing muscle
which cranial nerve contains the three main face muscles?
trigeminal
what are the three main face muscles that trigeminal controls?
mouth, mucosa of the nose and face
Abducens: origin
fibers leave the pons and run to the eye
abducens is which number
six, VI
function of abducens
supplies motor fibers to the lateral rectus muscle which rolls the eye laterally
which cranial nerve lets the eye roll?
abducens
what is the saying to remember the cranial nerves?
O O O, To Touch And Feel Very Good Velvet AH
facial is what number
seven, VII
facial: origin
fibers leave the pons and run to the face
function of facial
activates the muscle of facial expression and the lacrimal and salivary glands; carries sensory impulses from the taste buds and anterior tongue
which cranial nerve allows facial expression?
facial
which cranial nerve activates the salivary glands?
facial
which cranial nerve carries sensory impulses from the taste buds?
facial
vestibulocochlear: origin
fibers run from the equilbrium and hearing receptors of the inner ear to the brian stem
what is the vestibulocochlear number?
eight, VIII
function of vestibulocochlear
purely sensory; vestibular branch transmits impulses for the sense of balance and cochlear branch transmits impulses for the sense of hearing
which cranial nerve gives you a sense of balance?
vestibulocochlear
which cranial nerve transmits impulses fro the sense of hearing?
vestibulocochlear
glossophargyngeal: origin
fibers emerge from the medulla and run the throat (swallowing)
function of glossophargyngeal
supplies motorfibers to the pharynx (throat) that promote swalling and saliva production; carries sensory impulses from taste buds of the posterior tongue and from pressure receptors of the carotid artery
what is the number of glossophargyngeal?
nine, XI
which crainial nerve supplies motorfibers to the throat that allows swallowing?
glossophargyngeal
which cranial nerve carries sensory impulses from the taste buds?
glossophargyngeal
vagus: origin
fibers emerge from the medulla and descend into the throax and abdominal cavity
function of the vagus?
fibers carry sensory impulses from and motor impulses to the pharynx, larynx, and the abdominal and thoraic viscera; most fibers are parasympathetic fibers that promote digestive activity and help regulate heart activity
which cranial nerve promotes digestive activity and helps regulate heart activity?
vagus
which number is vagus?
ten, X
accessory: origin
fibers arise from the medulla and superior spinal cord and travel to muscles of the neck and back
function of accessory?
mostly motor fibers that activate the stemocleidomastoid and trap ezius muscles
what is the number of accessory?
eleven, XI
which cranial nerve contorls neck muscles?
accessory
hypoglossal: origin
fibers run from the medulla to the tongue
what is the function of hypoglossal?
motor fibers control tongue movements; sensory fibers carry impulses from the tongue
what is the number of the hypoglossal?
twelve, XII
which four cranial nerves emerge from the medulla?
glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory and hypoglossal
which cranial nerve control the tongue movements and impusles from the tongue?
hypoglossal
ependymal
lines the cavities of the brain and the spinal cord. cilia helps the cereprospinal fluid and forms a protective cushion around the CNS
which neuroglia has cilia?
ependymal
which neuroglia lines the cavities of the brain and the spinal cord?
ependymal
oligodendrocytes
glia that wrap their flat extensions tightly around the nerve fibers, producing fatty insulating coverings called myelin sheaths
which neuroglia wraps around nerve fibers?
oligodendrocytes
which neuroglia has myelin sheaths?
oligodendrocytes
microgolia
spiderlike phagosytes that dispose of debris, including dead brain cells and bacteria
which neuroglia gets rid of debris?
microglia
which neuroglia has lysomes?
microglia
which neuroglia has smooth ER?
oligodendrocytes
astrocytes
abundant star-shaped cells that account for nearly half of the neural tissue. their numerous projections have swollen ends that cling to the neurons bracing them and achoring them to their nutrient supply lines and blood capillaries. (more)
which neuroglia has a barrier between capillaries and nuerons and plays a role in making exchanges between the two?
astrocytes
which neuroglia protects neurons from harmful substances that might be in the blood?
astrocytes
which nueroglia helps control the chemical environment in the brain by picking up excess ions and recapturing released neurotransmitters?
astrocytes
which neuroglia has capillaries?
astrocytes
what are node of ranvies?
spaces that break the myelin sheath
what are the dendrites at the end of a neuron?
