Module 6 Flashcards
PNS
Sensory (afferent)
Motor (efferent)
Sensory (afferent)
transmit sensory info periphery
Motor (efferent)
Somatic & Automatc
Somatic
VOLUNTARY motor control of skeletal muscle
Automatic
INVOLUNTARY motor contorl of smooth and cardiac muscle
Automatic
sympathetic & parasympathetic
Sympathetic
fight & flight response
Parasympathetic
rest & digest response
Cranial Nerves
- 12 Pairs
- carry sensory, motor info or both
- emerge in PAIRS from brain & brain stem
CN I
Olfactory Nerve
Smell
CN II
Optic Nerve
Vision
CN III
Oculomotor Nerve
Movement of eye
CN IV
Trochlear Nerve
Movement of eye
CN V
Trigeminal nerve
Forehead, eye, upper/lower jaw, muscles of mastication
CN VI
Abducens Nerve
Movement of eye
CN VII
Facial Nerve
Taste for anterior 2/3 of tongue
Muscles of facial expression, parasympathetic innervation of tear & salivary glands
CN VIII
Vestibulocohlear Nerve
Equilibrium & hearing
CN X
Vagus Nerve
sensory innervation of the larynx
pharyn and larync muscles, parasympathetic innervation of the thoracis and abdominal organs
CN XI
Accessory Nerve
TRapezius & sternocleidomastoid muscle
CN XII
Hypoglossal Nerve
Muscle of the tongue
Spinal Nerves
- emerge from spinal cord
- 31 pairs
- formed via union of posterior (sensory) + anterior (motor) roots of spinal cord
How are spinal nerves classified
LETTER (region of spinal cord) + NUMBER (level of spinal cord)
*exception: C8 (between C7 & T1)
Nerve Plexuse
spinal nerves exit vertebral column –> fibres from anterior root –> COMBINe, form network of nerves (plexuse)
Plexus
fibres (axons) from spinal nerves
