neuro lec 6 Flashcards

1
Q

briefly describe the embryology of the nervous system (3)

A
  1. neural plate develops in ectoderm
  2. sides of neural plate come together to form neural groove
  3. neural folds fuse at midline to form neural tube, caudal end becomes spinal cord

Neuroepithelial olfactory cells send axons through the _______ of the ethmoid bone to synapse in the olfactory bulb to olfactory tract.

A

cribriform plate

22

purpose of optic nerve?

A

vision

24
Q

injury prechiam leads to loss of vision in…
injury postchiasm leads to loss of vision in…

A

33
Q

slide 255

A

i cant

34
Q

what is bell’s palsy?

A

contralateral facial droop

35
Q

why is hyperacusis a symptom of facial nerve damage?

A

because facial nerve is connected to stapedius muscle which plays a role in acoustic reflex
