Nervous AR Test Flashcards
This part of the central nervous system plays an important role in muscle coordination. What is this structure?
Cerebellum
This collection of spaces within the brain create and circulate cerebrospinal fluid. What are these structures known as?
Ventricular System
This round structure is a component of the basal ganglia. What is this structure?
Putamen
This part is one of the three portions of the brainstem. What is this structure?
Pons
This part of the central nervous system is also known as the second cranial nerve. What is this structure?
Optic Nerve
This egg-shaped structure serves to relay sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex. What is this structure?
Thalamus
This structure is the outermost of the three layers of the cerebral meninges. What is this structure?
Dura Mater
This nerve is also known as the 7th cranial nerve and supplies most of the motor function to the facial muscles. What is this structure?
Facial Nerve
This nerve, responsible for transmitting sensation from the face, is also known as the fifth cranial nerve. What is this structure?
Trigeminal Nerve
This Nerve is a branch of the trigeminal Nerve and supplies sensation to the lower dental arch. What is this structure?
Mandibular Nerve
This collection of Nerves emerges from the lower spinal Cord to exit at the lumbosacral levels. What is this structure?
Cauda Equina
This Nerve supplies sensation to the palmar surface of the 4th and 5th digits. What is this structure?
Ulnar Nerve
This Nerve is also known as the 10th cranial Nerve. What is this structure?
Vagus Nerve
This Nerve travels through the carpal tunnel to enter the hand. What is this structure?
Median Nerve
This Nerve is the largest and longest in the body. What is this structure?
Sciatic Nerve
This Nerve, a branch of the sciatic Nerve, can result in a condition known as ‘foot drop’ when damaged. What is this structure?
Common Fibular Nerve
This structure carries signals from the autonomic nervous system and is located parallel to the spinal Cord. What is this structure?
Sympathetic Trunk
This structure is the continuation of the central nervous system into the spine. What is this structure?
Spinal Cord
This structure serves as a protective covering over the spinal Cord. What is this structure?
Spinal Dura Mater
