Lecture Exam 2 Memorization Flashcards
Cranial Nerve I
olfactory; sense of smell
Action of occipitalis
moves scalp posteriorly
Action of infraspinatus
laterally rotates humerus (with teres minor)
Parietal lobe functions
sensory interpretation of textures and shapes; understanding speech (Wernicke’s area)
Action of lateral pterygoid
depresses mandible; moves mandible side to side (excursion)
PNS analog of astrocytes
satellite cells
Cranial Nerve VII
facial; controls muscles involved in facial expression; also responsible for the sense of taste in the anterior 2/3 of the tongue; also responsible for the production of saliva and tears
Insula lobe functions
taste
Cranial Nerve V

Lumbar: L1-L4
Sacral: L4-S4
Functions of thalamus
relay sensory and motor information (required synapse for all but olfactory); some processing
Cranial Nerve VIII
vestibulocochlear; senses of hearing and balance
Where is conus medullaris found?
L1 or L2 level
Main function(s) of multipolar neurons
almost all neurons in the CNS and PNS (mostly efferent information)
Hip abductors
gluteus medius; gluteus minimus
Cranial Nerve XI
accessory; controls sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles to move head, neck, and shoulders
order of lacrimal system flow
lacrimal glands > canaliculi > nasolacrimal sac > nasolacrimal canal > nasal cavity
Most abundant neuron type in body

back of tongue
Where are filiform papillae found?
anterior 2/3 of tongue
What early brain structure ends up forming the eye cups?
diencephalon (from prosencephalon)
Action of orbicularis oculi
squints eyes
What do muscles spindles sense?
muscle stretch
What do nociceptors sense?
temperature, pain
Action of depressor anguli oris
pulls corners of mouth in a frown
Action of deltoid
major abductor of shoulder; also facilitates flexion and extension
Perineurium covers…
nerve fascicles
Which spinal nerves make up the brachial plexus?
C5-T1
What is the endomysium made of?
connective tissue layer of collagen and reticular fibers
What are the basal nuclei and what are their functions?
group of nuclei deep in cerebrum (caudate, putamen, globus pallidus); responsible for starting, stopping, and monitoring movement
Action of gracilis
adduct hip; flex knee
Action of nasalis
elevates corners of nostrils
Which cranial nerve(s) control(s) gustation?
VII and IX
What do Merkel cells (tacile disks) sense?
light touch and pressure
What do tarsal glands do?
special kind of sebaceous gland found within the eyelids at the base of the eyelids; produce oily secretion to keep tears in the eye and help prevent evaporation
Main function(s) of unipolar neurons
exclusively sensory neurons

Which spinal nerves make up the cervical plexus?
C1-C4
Endoneurium covers…
axons
Where are foliate papillae found?
lateral tongue
What is the submucosal plexus responsible for?
innervates secretory glands in gut; helps in producing secretions
Action of posterior thigh muscles
flex the knee and extend the hip
What is the common insertion of the knee extensors?
tibial tuberosity
Cranial Nerve VI
abducens; controls eye movements by innervating the lateral rectus muscle
Components of PNS
nerves; ganglia (everything outside of CNS)
Action of the mucles in the medial compartment of the thigh
adduct the hip
Brainstem functions
ascending sensory tracks and descending motor tracks; various nuclei that regulate body functions HR/BP/Respiration); coughing sneezing, vomiting; reticular activating system helps to regulate sleep/wake cycles and alertness/arousal states
What is the largest pure endocrine gland?
thyroid gland
Major functions of ependymal cells
Line brain ventricles; Make CSF
Where does the patellar ligament attach?
tibial tuberosity
