Sensory receptors monitor numerous
external and internal stimuli. We are aware of sensations from some stimuli, such as sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, pain, body
position, and temperature.

SENSORY: taste, MOTOR to muscles of facial expression; parasympathetic to salivary and tear glands

A

FACIAL

*Abducens
*Accessory
*Hypoglossal

176
Q

Cranial Nerve that is SENSORY and MOTOR only

A

Trigeminal

177
Q

Cranial Nerve that is MOTOR and PARASYMPATHETIC only

A

Oculomotor

178
Q

Cranial Nerves that are SENSORY, MOTOR, AND PARASYMPATHETIC

A

*Facial
*Glossopharyngeal
*Vagus

179
Q

comprises motor neurons that carry action potentials from the CNS to the periphery
• innervate smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands
• largely controlled unconsciously

A

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

180
Q

Two divisions of ANS

A

*Sympathetic Division (Physical Activity)
*Parasympathetic Division (Involuntary Actions)

181
Q

“Fight or Flight”

*Pre ganglionic neurons are in the lateral
horn of the spinal cord gray matter between
the T1-L2.

*post ganglionic cell bodies are located in
sympathetic chain ganglia or collateral
ganglia

A

Sympathetic Division

182
Q

“Rest and Digest”

*Pre ganglionic cell body is located within cranial nerves III, VII, IX, X; S2-S4 Spinal nerves

• post ganglionic cell bodies are located in terminal ganglia near or embedded in the walls of target organs

A

Parasympathetic Division

183
Q

consists of plexuses within the wall of the digestive tract

A

Enteric Nervous System

184
Q

Connects the digestive tract to the CNS

A

Sensory Neurons

185
Q

nuerons that connect the CNC to
the digestive tract

A

sympathetic and parasympathetic nuerons

186
Q

neurons within the enteric plexuses

A

Enteric neurons

187
Q

are sensory, motor or imnterneurons: they recieve
CNS input but can also function independently

A

Enteric Neurons

188
Q

Sensory and motor functions decline with age
• Mental functions, including memory, may decline with age but this varies from person to person
