most common type of neuron in nervous system, link neurons with other neurons
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
spinal, cranial, and peripheral autonomic nerves (12 pairs cranial and 31 spinal)
Spinal nerves of PNS
control automatic functions such as breathing
Automatic Nervous System (ANS)
controls and regulates internal environment of our bodies, cause speakers to feel emotionally relaxed or aroused
Sympathetic branch of ANS
mobilizes body for “fight-or-flight” situations
Parasympathetic branch of ANS
helps bring body back to state of relaxation
Central Nervous System (CNS)
Spinal cord, brain; acts as a motor command center for planning, originating, and carrying out the transmission of messages
Brainstem
connects spinal cord with brain via diencephalon
Midbrain
AKA mesencephalon; narrow structure that lies superior to pons and inferior to diencephalon
Pons
AKA metencephalon; bridges two halves of cerebellum
Medulla
AKA myelencephalon: contains all the fibers that originate in cerebellum and cerebrum and move downward to form spinal cord
Pyramidal tracts
In medulla; control movements and supply some muscles in speech
Spinal nerves
can be motor, sensory, or mixed; they transmit motor information from CNS to muscles and carry sensory information from peripheral receptors to CNS
How many pairs of spinal nerves
31, attached to spinal cord through 2 roots: one is efferent and ventral (toward the front) and the other is afferent and dorsal (toward the back)
Cranial nerves III-XII originate from
brain stem and innervate the muscles of the pharynx, tongue, larynx, head, neck, and face
Cranial nerves that are not concerned with speech, language or hearing
I, II, III, and VI
Cranial Nerves involved with speech, language, and hearing
V and VII-XII
CN V
Trigeminal, mixed nerve
CN V Sensory fibers
composed of three branches: ophthalmic (nose, eyes, and forehead), maxillary (upper lip, maxilla, upper cheek area, upper teeth, maxillary sinus, and palate), and mandibular(mandible, lower teeth, lower lip, tongue, part of check, and part of external ear)
CN V Motor fibers
innervate various jaw muscles
CN V damage
may result in inability to close mouth, difficulty chewing, and trigeminal neuralgia)
Cranial Nerve VII
Facial, mixed
Cranial Nerve VII Sensory fibers
responsible for taste sensations on anterior 2/3 tongue
CN VII Motor fibers
None of motor fibers has branches that innervate muscles important to speech
CN VIII
Acoustic, sensory for balance and hearing
CN IX
Glossopharyngeal, mixed
CN IX Sensory
assists in processing taste sensation from posterior 1/3 tongue
CN IX Motor
innervate stylopharyngeus
CN IX Damage
may result in difficulty swallowing, unilateral loss of gag reflex, and loss of taste and sensation from posterior third of tongue
CN X
Vagus, mixed
CN X Motor
supply digestive system, heart, and lungs
CN X Sensory
convey information from digestive system, heart, trachea, pharynx, and larynx
CN X damage
may result in difficulty swallowing, paralysis of velum, and voice problems if RLN is damaged
Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve
part of CN X, regulates intrinsic muscles of larynx; may be damaged during thyroid surgery (partial or total paralysis of vocal folds)
CN XI
Accessory, motor
CN XI
Head and shoulder movement assist, Innervate uvula and levator veli palatini muscles of soft palate
CN XI damage
Neck weakness, paralysis of sternocleidomastoid, and consequent inability to turn head, as well as inability to shrug shoulders or raise arm above shoulder
CN XII
Hypoglossal, motor verve
CN XII
Supplies 3 extrinsic muscles: styloglossus, hyoglossus, and genioglossus
CN XII
supplies all intrinsic muscles of tongue
