How many Cranial nerves are there and where do their branches arise from? |
- 12 cranial nerves, they arise from the brain |
|
how many spinal nerves are there and where do they arise from? |
There are 31 spinal nerves and they arise from the spinal cord. |
|
Define "ganglia" |
cluster of cell bodies |
|
dorsal root ganglia vs. other root ganglia |
dorsal root gangl: sensory neuron cell bodies other root gangl: autonomic motor neuron cell bodies |
|
sensory receptors are |
afferent neurons. |
|
What are the 2 functional divisions of the PERIPHERAL Nervous System? |
Sensory (AFFERENT) division & Motor (EFFERENT) division |
|
SENSORY DIV.: Where do the somatic sensory fibers carry impulses from? |
somatic sensory fibers carry impulses from skin, skeletal muscles, joints and special senses to CNS |
|
SENSORY DIV.: Where do the visceral sensory fibers carry impulses from? |
visceral sensory fibers carry impulses from visceral organsto CNS |
|
MOTOR DIV.: has how many systems?? and what are the systems called? |
There are two parts to the motor division, the somatic and autonomic nervous system. |
|
Motor Div.: Where do the somatic motor fibers carry impulses from? (somatic) |
somatic motor fibers carry impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles |
|
Motor Div.: Where do the visceral motor fibers carry impulses from? (autonomic) |
visceral motor fibers carry impulses from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands |
|
What are the functional SUBDIVISIONS of the AUTONOMIC nervous system? |
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic |
|
Nerves are bundles of parallel axons (which vary in size) classified as: |
mixed nerve sensory (Afferent) nerve motor (efferent) nerve |
|
Mixed Nerves |
contains both sensory & motor fibers (carry impulses to/from CNS) |
|
Sensory (Afferent) Nerve |
only carry impulses toward CNS |
|
Motor (Efferent) Nerve |
only carry impulses away from CNS |
|
Each nerve is wrapped around in protective CT coverings including: |
Endoneurium Epineurium |
|
ENDONEURIUM |
ENCLOSES EACH AXON |
|
PERINEURIUM |
AROUND A NERVE FASCICLE (BUNDLE) |
|
EPINEURIUM |
SURROUNDS ALL FASCICLES |
|
HOW DO THE SPINAL NERVES EXIT THE CORD? |
VIA THE INTERVERTEBRAL FORAMEN |
|
NAME THE SPINAL SEGMENTS |
8 - CERVICAL NERVES (C1-C8) 12 - THORACIC NERVES (T1-T12) 5- LUMBAR NERVES (L1-L5) 5- SACRAL NERVES (S1-S5) 1 - COCCYGEAL NERVE (Co 1) |
|
SPINAL NERVES ARE MIXED NERVES, MEANING: |
SENSORY AND MOTOR NERVES |
|
WHAT ARE THE TWO KINDS OF REFLEXES? |
SOMATIC REFLEX: SKELETAL MUSCLE CONTRACTION AUTONOMIC REFLEX(VISCERAL): SMOOTH/CARDIAC MUSCLE AND GLANDS |
|
WHATS A RELEX ARC? |
SPECIFIC NEURAL PATHWAY |
|
WHAT ARE THE 5 COMPONENTS OF A REFLEX ARC? |
a) Sensory receptor |
|
Cranial Nerves |
12 pairs of cranial nerves (I to XII)that arise from the brain
Part of the peripheral nervous system Some nerves are sensory in functionas they carry axons of sensory neurons (I, II, VIII) Some nerves are motor in function as they carry axons of motor neurons (III,IV, VI, XI, XII) Others are mixed nerves because theycontain axons of both sensory and motor neurons (V, VII, IX, X) |
