Nerve Types

Question 1

GSA

Answer 1

General (same as spinal cord)
Somatic (body-related)
Affluent (sensory)

exteroceptors ( the sensory nerve end receptors that respond to external stimuli; located in the skin, oral cavity, eyes, ears, and nose)

and

proprioceptors ( sensory receptors in muscles, joint capsules and surrounding tissues, that signal information to the central nervous system about position and movement of body parts, for example the angle at a joint or the length of a muscle)

Question 2

SSA

Answer 2

Special
Somatic (body-related)
Affluent (sensory)

Special senses in eye and ear (vision; hearing and equilibrium,)

Question 3

GVA

Answer 3

General
Visceral
Affluent

Sensory from viscera (e.g. gut)
These are the same as in spinal nerves

Question 4

SVA

Answer 4

Special
Visceral
Affluent

Olfaction (smell) and taste

Question 5

GVE

Answer 5

General
Somatic (body)
Effluent (motor)

Autonomic nervous system (innervates cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands) These are the same as in spinal nerves)

Question 6

GSE

Answer 6

Skeletal (Somatic) muscles. These are the same as in spinal nerves

Question 7

SVE

Answer 7

Special
Visceral
Effluent (motor)

Skeletal muscle which develops from the pharyngeal (branchial) arches (homologous to GSE)
