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
Perineurium


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
b) Sensory (afferent) neuron
c) Integrating center
d) Motor (efferent) neuron
e) Effector

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)
