Q
  • (M) innervates the tongue muscles except the palatoglossus
A

Hypoglossal (XII)

Q

Classification of Cranial Nerves

A

A. Sensory Nerves
B. Motor Nerves
C. Mixed Nerves

61
Q
  • Carry impulses towards brain
  • Also called afferent fibers
  • Cranial nerves: I, II, VIII
A

Sensory Nerves

62
Q
  • Carry impulses away from the brain.
  • Also called efferent fibers
  • Cranial nerves: III, IV and VI which supply the eye muscles; XI and XII
A

Motor Nerves

63
Q
  • Carry both sensory and motor nerve fibers
  • Cranial nerves: V, VII, IX, X
A

Mixed Nerves

63
Q
  • Containing fibers of motor neurons
  • These 2 roots join together to form spinal nerve
A

Ventral root

63
Q
  • A bundle of nerve fibers attached to spinal cord
  • 31 pairs of nerves called spinal nerves arise from the spinal cord along almost its entire length and emerge from the vertebral canal through the intervertebral foramina
  • There are eight pairs of cervical spinal
    nerves: 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 1 coccygeal.
  • Always mixed nerves
  • Union of dorsal root and ventral root
A

Spinal Nerves

64
Q
  • Containing fibers of sensory neurons
A

Dorsal root

65
Q
  • Group of nerve fibers from ventral rami of cervical, lumbar and sacral spinal nerves.
  • Posterior rami never from plexuses.
A

Plexuses

66
Q
  • Formed by the first 4 cervical nerves (C1, C2, C3, C4)
  • This supplies the back and sides of the head and the front of the neck
  • Gives off the phrenic nerve to the diaphragm
A

Cervical plexus

67
Q
  • Lower 4 cervical (C5, C6, C7, C8) nerves and 1st thoracic (T1) supplies the skin and muscles of the upper limb/extremities.
  • Gives off large nerves: circumflex, radial, median, ulnar and musculocutaneous nerves.
A

Brachial plexus

67
Q
  • From L1-L4 spinal nerves
  • Anterior portion and medial portion
    a. Obturator nerve
    b. Femoral nerve
A
68
Q
  • Arising from anterior division of L2, L3,
    L4 spinal nerves
  • Supplies the muscles and skin on medial aspect of thigh
A

Obturator nerve

69
Q
  • Arising from the posterior divisions of
    L2, L3, L4 spinal nerves
  • Supplies muscles and skin on anterior
    aspect of the thigh
A

Femoral nerve

69
Q
  • Do not form plexuses
  • Independent nerves
  • T1 – T11 spinal nerves = Intercostal nerves
  • T12 spinal nerves = Subcostal nerve
A

Thoracic Spinal Nerves

70
Q
  • From L4, L5, S1, S2, S3 spinal nerves
  • The largest branch which is the sciatic nerve (the largest nerve in the body)
  • Posterior aspect of lower extremities
  • Sciatic nerve divides into:
    a. Tibial nerve
    b. Common peroneal nerve
A

Sacral plexus

71
Q

types of Autonomic System

A
  1. Sympathetic/ Thoracolumbar Divisions
  2. Parasympathetic/ Craniosacral Divisions
72
Q
  • Arises from all the thoracic and the first three
    lumbar segments of the spinal cord
A

Sympathetic/ Thoracolumbar Divisions

73
Q
  • Arises from the third, seventh, ninth, and tenth cranial nerves and from the second, third and fourth sacral segments of the spinal cord.
  • Repost and repair
A

Parasympathetic/ Craniosacral Divisions
