Glossopharyngeal (Taste (posterior 1/3 of the tongue); Somatosensory information from tongue, tonsil, pharynx; controls some muscles used in swallowing)

Question 10

Cranial Nerve 10

Vagus (Sensory, motor and autonomic functions of viscera (glands, digestion, heart rate))

Question 11

Cranial Nerve 11

Answer 11

Spinal Accessory (Controls muscles used in head movement)

Question 12

Cranial Nerve 12

Answer 12

Hypoglossal (controls muscle of tongue)

Question 13

sensory neurons

Answer 13

Neurons, Receive, 5 senses(taste,touch,smell, vision, hearing)

Question 14

Interneurons

Answer 14

Neurons, Interpret (in between both cells responsible for the interpretive part of creating an action)

Question 15

Motor Neurons

Answer 15

Neurons, Respond (reaction to pain, good food, bad smell)

Question 16

Astrocytes

Answer 16

neuroglia (CNS) Astrocytes are a type of neuroglia found in the central nervous system. They are named after their star-shaped structure. Astrocytes are the most abundant type of neuroglia and they play an important role in creating structure, supporting and regulating the concentration of ions and neurotransmitters in the extracellular space. They also help to regulate substances that move in and out of the blood and the brain by maintaining the blood-brain barrier.

Question 17

Oligodendrocytes

Answer 17

neuroglia (CNS) Oligodendrocytes are cells in the central nervous system that have multiple finger-like structures. These structures allow them to support multiple neurons, with a ratio of one oligodendrocyte to many neurons. The main responsibility of oligodendrocytes is to coat neurons with myelin, which is a fatty tissue that insulates the axon of the neuron. This insulation helps conduct electrical impulses and deliver messages to surrounding tissues.

Question 18

Ependymal Cells

Answer 18

neuroglia (CNS) Ependymal cells are responsible for aligning the ventricles and central canal of the spinal cord. They produce cerebrospinal fluid, which creates cushioning to protect the brain and spinal cord.

Question 19

Microglia

Answer 19

neuroglia (CNS) Microglia are immune cells of the central nervous system. They act as the first line of defense, fighting off pathogens, removing debris via phagocytosis, modulating inflammation, and promoting tissue repair.

Question 20

Satellite Cells

Answer 20

neuroglia (PNS) Satellite cells are equivalent to astrocytes in the peripheral nervous system. They are more abundant and provide structural support, micromanage the environment of the neuron they are supporting, and monitor the waste and nutrients that come in contact with the neuron.

Question 21

Schwann Cells

Answer 21

neuroglia (PNS) Schwann cells create myelin for peripheral neurons; the ratio is 1:1. They increase nerve impulse conductivity.

Question 22

CNS

Answer 22

Central Nervous System

Question 23

PNS

Answer 23

peripheral nervous system
