Lesson 15 Cranial Nerves Flashcards
Where would you find the cell bodies of sensory neurons of the cranial nerves?
Cranial Nerve Ganglia
Where do the cranial nerves and spinal nerves emerge from?
cranial nerves emerge from the area of the brain stem
Spinal nerves emerge from the spinal cord
Cranial nerve I is?
Olfactory
Cranial nerve II is
Optic
Cranial nerve III is
Oculomotor

The Olfactory Nerve (CN I) runs from the _______ to the ______ in the frontal lobe
The Olfactory Nerve (CN I) runs from the Olfactory epithelium to the Olfactory Bulb in the frontal lobe
The Olfactory Nerve (CN I)
- mixed, motor, or sensory?
- Responsible for?
Purely sensory
Responsible for Smell
The only sensory system that bypasses the thalamus is:
The Olfactory system
Where does the olfactory tract synapse?
Primary olfactory cortex (temporal lobe)
Anosmia is:
Hyposmia:
Anosmia = lack of smell
Hyposmia = decrease in ability to smell
Optic Nerve (CNII) cell bodies arise from?
The retina
The axons of what neurons join to become the Optic nerve?
Retinal ganglion cell neurons
What happens at the optic chiasm?
Half of the axons of the optic nerve cross over.
What is the optic nerve called after the chiasm?
Optic Tract (collection of axons in the CNS = tract)
Where does the optic tract synapse?
Lateral geniculate nucleus
Axons from the Lateral geniculate nucleus (called _________) synapse on the _________
Axons from the Lateral geniculate nucleus (called Optic Radiations) synapse on the P_rimary Visual Cortex_
