Lecture 10 - Nervous System Flashcards
parts of the brainstem
- > pons
- > medula
- > midbrain
lobes of the cerebrum
- > fontal
- > occipital
- > temporal
- > parietal
characteristics of the cervical nerves
- > 8 cervical nerves
- > the # of nerve goes above the same number vertebrae
- > C1 has cranial nerve 1 above and CN2 below
characteristics of the lumbar region of the spine
- > # of nerve goes under the corresponding nerve
- > the nerves/lumbrosacral enlargement only go to around L2
- > cauda equina extend the nerves to their vertebrae
characteristics of thoracic nerves
parts of a spinal nerve
white vs grey matter
The central nervous system of the brain is made up of two kinds of tissue: grey matter and white matter. The grey matter contains the cell bodies, dendrites and the axon terminals, where all synapses are. The white matter is made up of axons, which connect different parts of grey matter to each other
from deep to superficial meninges and what do they do
- > pia mater
- > arachnoid mater
- > dura mater
they are three layers of membranes that protect the brain and spinal cord
what is the brachial plexus
collection of nerves
- > where arm nerves attach to spinal cord
- > C5, C6, C7, C8, T1
what are main nerves that innervate the upperlimb
- > musculocutaneuous
- > median
- > radial
- > ulnar
- > auxillary
