Anatomy 1 - PNS Flashcards
what are the basic unit of the nervous system
neurones
name the components of a neurone
cell body
nucleus
dendrites
axon
what covers the axon
myelin sheath
what are a collection of cell bodies called in CNS
nucleus
what are a collection of bodies called in the PNS
ganglion
what are the 2 main types of neurones
multipolar
unipolar
what kind of neurones are found in sensory nerves (afferent)
unipolar
what kind of neurones are found in motor neurones (efferent)
multipolar
what is a tract
a collection of axons surrounded by connective tissue and blood cells in the CNS
what is a nerve
collection of axons surrounded by connective tissue and blood cells in PNS
CN1:
modality, function and route
OLFACTORY modality = special sensory function = smell route = exits through cribiform plate of ethmoid
CN2:
modality, function, route
OPTIC modality = special sensory function = sight route = enters through optic canal and crosses at optic chiasm (above pituitary gland)
CN3:
modality, function, route
OCCULOMOTOR modality = motor function = moves muscles of eye route = exits through superior orbital fissure
what muscles does CN3 act on
levator palpebrae superioris
superior, inferior, medial rectus
inferior oblique
CN4:
modality, function, route
TROCHLEAR modality = motor function = moves superior oblique muscle route = comes from junction between pons and medulla, exits through superior orbital fissure
what are the 3 segments of CN5
TRIGEMINAL
V1 = ophthalmic
V2= maxillary
V3 = mandibular
CNV1:
modality, function, route
OPTHALMIC modality = somatic sensory function = sensation to forehead route = exits through superior orbital fissure
CNV2:
modality, function, route
MAXILLARY modality = somatic sensory function = sensation of area over the maxilla route = exits through foramen rotundum
CNV3:
modality, function, route
MANDIBULAR modality = mixed function = sensory to area over mandible, motor to muscles of mastication route = exits through foramen ovale
CN6:
modality, function, route
ABDUCENS modality = motor function = motor to lateral rectus muscle route = exits through superior orbital fissure
CN7:
modality, route, function
FACIAL modality = mixed function = motor to muscles of facial expression, stapedius + stylohyoid, special sensory to taste, somatic sensory of skin at ear, parasympathetic/secretomotor to sublingual/submandibular salivary glands and lacrimal glands route = exits through internal acoustic meatus
CN8:
modality, function, route
VESTIBULOCHLEAR modality = special sensory function = hearing and balance route = internal acoustic meatus
CN9:
modality, function route
GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL modality = mixed function = parasympathetic/secretomotor to parotid glands, motor to stylopharyngeus, taste on posterior 1/3 of tongue, sensory to external and middle ear and pharynx route = exits through jugular foramen
CN10:
modality, function, route
VAGUS modality = mixed function = motor to constrictor muscles. intrinsic larynx, palate, upper 2/3rds oesophagus, parasympathetic to bronchi, digestive tract and heart route = exits through jugular foramen
