Health Sciences, 2014). The brain has twelve main pairs of nerves, called cranial nerves. During a complete neurological assessment, most of the cranial nerves are evaluated to help determine the proper functioning of the brain (Neurological Examination, 2014). Each cranial nerve is paired and is present in each side of the brain. Cranial nerve I (Olfactory) is the sensory nerve of smell. Cranial nerve II (Optic) is the sensory nerve that carries vision to the brain. Cranial nerve III…

(1pt) Layer V projects to the dorsal column nuclei, as well as to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord; and to the striatum and brain stem in general. 15. What is the pathway of the projections of the Secondary Somatosensory Cortex (SII)? (1pts) Projects to the Insula which then projects to amygdala and hippocampus. 16. How the chemicals which released during tissue damage sensitized nociceptors? (1pt) Act to either decrease the threshold of nociceptors or to directly activate certain nociceptors.…
