neuro pt 3 Flashcards
Are Olfactory nerves (I) sensory nerves
Yes, their sensory fibres are for the smell
Are Optic nerves(II) sensory or motor
They are sensory nerves for vision
What happens in the optic nerves (II)
The optic nerves converge for the optic chiasma and then the tracts go to the thalamus as optical radiation to the occipital cortex
Are Oculomotor nerves (III)sensory or motor
They are motor nerves, that are referred to as the eye mover (4/6 of eye muscles)
What is special about the oculomotor nerves (III)
They are mixed motor nerves. They are parasympathetic fibres to the iris. They also have sensory proprioceptive afferents
Are the trochlear nerves sensory (IV)or motor and where are they found
They are motor nerves, the are one pair of eye muscles and they connect from the dorsal membrane to the superior oblique eye muscle.
Are the Trigeminal nerves (V) sensory or motor
they are both, the sensory nerves can be found in the face and the motor fibers are for chewing.
What are the 3 divisions of the trigeminal nerves (V)
THe ophthalmic,maxillary and mandibular division
Are the abducens nerves(VI) sensory or motor
They are a motor muscles to the lateral rectus. It controls eye movement.
Are the vestibulocochlear nerves (VIII) sensory or motor
They are sensory nerves for balance
Are the facial nerves(VII) motor or sensory
They are mixed nerves ,but primarly motor
How many branches do facial nerves (VII) have and who are they?
There 5 major branches and they are parasympathetic to the lacrimal gland, a part of 2 salivary glands and sensory o 2/3 of the tongue.
Are glossopharyngeal nerves(IX) sensory or motor
They are mixed neurons. They are motor with the gag-relax and swallowing, they have parasympathetic fibres to the parotid glands. Their sensory nerves are related to taste, pressure touch and pain . also with the carotid sinus
Are the vagus nerves (X) sensory or motor
they are mixed nerves and they extend beyond the head and neck
How are the vagus nerves (X) motor and sensory
They are motor nerves, because the are parasympathetic to the, hear,lungs, abdominal and somatic to the pharynx and larynx.
They are sensory nerves because of the carotid sinus. They can send info to the muscles.
Are the accessory nerves (XI) sensory or motor
They are motor nerves ( but mixed)
The function of the accessory nerves (XI)
They are neck and head movements .
Are hypoglossal nerves(XII) motor or sensory
They are motor nerves beneath the tongue.
What is the function of hypoglossal nerves(XII)
Mixing, swallowing and speech
