Nervous System Flashcards
Afferent
sensory
Efferent
Motor
General
everything that is not special
Special
specialised functions e.g. taste sight hearing
Somatic
coming from somite (bone / skin / nails)
Visceral
organs
GSA
general somatic afferent (sensory info from bone skin nails that is general to CNS)
Cranial Nerves in Order
I = olfactory
II = optic
III = Oculomotor
IV = Trochlear
V = Trigmenial
VI = Abducens
VII = Facial
VIII = Vestibulocochlear
IX = Glossopharyngeal
X = Vagus
XI = Accessory
XII = Hypoglossal
Vestibulocochlear nerve
(XIII)
-afferent
-balance (vestibule part)
-hearing (cochlear part)
- SVA
Vagus Nerve
(X)
-swallowing and voice (GSE)
-sensory for Larynx + Pharynx + eardrum (GSA)
Frontal Lobe
-primary motor cortex
-broccas area
Parietal Lobe
(upper middle)
-primary somatosensory cortex
Temporal Lobe
(bottom middle)
-auditory cortex
-wernickes area
Occipital lobe
(back of brain)
-visual cortex
Myelin Sheath
-made up of Schwann cells
-insulates axon to increase efficency of nerve transmisson
