What is Meninges
Protective Tissue around the brain and spinal cord
How many layers and what are their names of Meninges?
3, Dura Mater, Arachnoid Mater and Pia Mater
What is in between each layer within the Meninges?
CSF
Describe Dura Mater
Tough and Fiberous, Outermost layer
Describe Arachnoid Mater
Middle layer of Meninges that resembles a spider's web
Describe Pia Mater
innermost lining of meninges, helps form the CHOROID PLEXUS (which makes CSF)
Spinal Cord extends from the ___ cervical vertabrae to the bottom of the ___ lumbar vertebra
first, first
A transverse section of the spinal cord contains what types of matter?
Gray and white
The gray matter contains and is shaped like?
a butterfly or H.
Contains the Transverse Commissure
Ventral Horn, lateral horn and dorsal horn
The horns can also be called what?
columns
The ventral horns contain what types of nerve cells
motor
The dorsal horns contain what types of nerve cells
sensory
The transverse commisure is what?
The midline of the gray matter within the spinal cord.
The white matter of the spinal cord contains what
funiculi (ventral, lateral and dorsal)
Each funiculis contains what
Ascending fiber tracts, descending fiber tracts and short segemental fiber tracts
The ascending fiber tracts help
transmit visceral and proprioceptal (percetion awareness) information to the subcotrival motor centers
The descending fiber tracts help
carry impulses from the high motor centers outwards
The short segmental fibers help
mediate reflexive behavior (reflex arc) within the spinal cord
The peripheral nervous system consists of
any nerve process/neuron outside the bony confines of the skull and vertebral column.
The cranial nerves: how many pairs?
12
Which pairs of cranial nerves leave the crainium?
all except I and II
(olefactory and optic)
Name the first Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
Olefactory, smell, sensory
Name the second Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
Optic, vision, sensory
Name the third Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
Oculomotor, visual convergence, pupil size/lens shape, motor
Name the fourth Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
trochlear, visual tracking (down and out), motor
Name the fifth Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
Trigeminal, facial sensations & mastication, both
Name the sixth Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
abducens, lateral eye movement, motor
Name the seventh Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
Facial, sensations to the tongue, soft palate, facial expressions, both
Name the eighth Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
vestibulocochlear (acoustic), hearing equilibrium, sensory
Name the ninth Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
glossopharyngeal, swallowing, salvation, taste, both
Name the tenth Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
vagus, sensations to/control the pharynx, larynx, viscera, both
Name the eleventh Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
accessory, activates the sternocleoidmastoid and trapezius, motor
Name the last Cranium Nerve and what does it do? (function and type)
hypoglossal, control of tongue movement, motor
What emerges from teh spinal cord in ventral (efferent) and dorsal (afferent) roots which combine to form a completed spinal nerve?
Spinal Nerves
How many pairs of spinal nerves?
31
Name all the spinal nerves and how many?
8 Cervical
12 Thoracic
5 Lumbar
5 Sacral
1 Coccygeal
Describe the Autonomic Nervous System
Involuntray system, visceral efferent
What is the autonomic nervous system a division of?
the periperhal nervous system
What does the autonomic nervous system supply?
smooth muscle and glands throughout the body
What is the autonomic nervous system divided into?
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic
What does the Sympathetic Nervous System do?
Prepares the body for emergencies or excitement, responsible for the fight or flight stress response
What does the Parasympathetic Nervous System do?
Calms the body down, acts opposite of the sympathetice nervous system, conserves body resources and energy
