Chapter 13 Flashcards
3 connective tissue that enclose nerves
epineurium
perineurium
endoneurium
outermost tough fibrous sheath around nerves
epineurium
sheath that bundles nerve fibers into fascicles
perineurium
a loose connective tissue sheath that encloses single axons of nerves
endoneurium
2 types of ganglia
dorsal root ganglia
autonomic ganglia
nerve responsible for smell sensation
olfactory nerve (I)
nerve responsible for visual signals
optic nerve (II)
Which muscles is the oculomotor nerve (III) responsible for?
Rectus muscles
Inferior oblique
Levator palpebrae superioris
largest cranial nerve
trigeminal nerve (V)
what is the ophthatlmic nerve resposible for?
cornea skin of forehead scalp eyelids and nose nasal cavity paranasal sinuses
what do Autonomic ganglia contain?
bodies of pseudounipolar sensory neurons
connect receptors with the dorsal horn of the spinal cord
what do Dorsal root ganglia contain?
motor neurons that send axons to effector organs
what do axons do?
regenerate damaged parts
what bears gorwth-inhibiting proteins that prevent CNS fiber regeneration?
oligodendrocytes
where do the first 2 pairs of nerves arise from?
the diencephalon
layer that surrounds the entire spinal nerve?
epineurium
functions of the oculomotor nerve (III)
raising the eyelid
constricting the iris
controlling lens shape
which nerve innvervates the superior oblique muscle?
trochlear nerve (IV)
3 branches of the trigeminal nerve (V)
Ophthalmic (V1)
Maxillary (V2)
Mandibular (V3)
nerve that supplies cornea, skin of forehead, scalp, eyelids and nose, and mucosa of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses
ophthalmic (V1)
nerve that supplies skin of the face over the maxilla, upper lip, and maxillary teeth, and mucosa of nose, maxillary sinus, and palate
Maxillary (V2)
nerve that supplies the skin over the mandible and lower lip, mandibular teeth, temporomandibular joint, and mucosa of mouth and anterior 2/3 of tongue
Mandibular (V3Mandibular (V3)
innverates the lateral rectus muscle
abducens nerve (VI)
the facial nerve (VII) sends parasympathetic impulses to which glands?
lacrimal, salivary glandsand glands of nose and palate
nerve responsible for hearing and equilibrium receptors
vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)
nerve responsible for swallowing and taste
glossopharynageal nerve (IX)
the only nerve that extends beyond the head and neck region
vagus nerve (X)
how many pairs of spinal nerves total?
31
how many cervical, thoracic,, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal nerves?
8 cervical 12 thoracic 5 lumbar 5 sacral 1 coccygeal
Hilton’s Law
any nerve serving a muscle that produces movement at a joint also innervates the joint and the skin over the joint
levels of motor control
segmental level
projection level
precommand level
segmental level
The lowest level of the motor hierarchy
Controls locomotion and specific, oft-repeated motor activity
Projection level
Projection motor pathways keep higher command levels informed of what is happening
Precommand level
- Regulate motor activity
- Precisely start or stop movements
- Coordinate movements with posture
- Block unwanted movements
- Monitor muscle tone
- Perform unconscious planning and discharge in advance of willed movements
Dermatome
the area of skin innervated by the cutaneous branches of a single spinal nerve
the longest and thickest nerve in the body?
sciatic nerve
2 major branches of the lumbar plexus
femoral nerve
obturator nerve
obturator nerve (what it passes through and what it innervates)
passes through the obturator foreman to innervate the adductor muscles
femoral nerve
what it innervates
innervated the quadriceps muscle and the skin of the anterior thigh and medial surface of the leg
major nerves of the brachial plexus
axillary nerve musculocutaneous nerve radial nerve median nerve ulnar nerve
axillary nerve
innervates the deltoid, teres minor, and skin and joint capsule of the shoulder
Musculocutaneous nerve
innervates the biceps brachii and brachialis and skin of lateral forearm
Median nerve
innervates the skin, most flexors and pronators in the forearm, and some intrinsic muscles of the hand
Ulnar nerve
supplies the flexor carpi ulnaris, part of the flexor digitorum profundus, most intrinsic muscles of the hand, and skin of medial aspect of hand
Radial nerve
innervates essentially all extensor muscles, supinators, and posterior skin of limb
where does the lumbar plexus arise from?
L1–L4
