Peripheral Nervous System Flashcards
What are the three sensory nerves?
Olfactory (CN I)
Optic (CN II)
Auditory or Vestibulocochlear (CN VIII)
Cranial nerves with both sensory and motor functions
CN V, CN VII, CN IX, CN X
Trigeminal, Facial, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, respectively.
Give the 12 cranial nerves.
Olfactory
Optic
Oculomotor
Trochlear
Trigeminal
Abducens
Facial
Auditory
Glossopharyngeal
Vagus
Accessory
Hypoglossal
cranial nerve innervates first pharyngeal arch (muscles of mastication)
trigeminal (CN V)
innervates second pharyngeal arch (muscles of the facial expression)
facial (CN VII)
What are the three meningeal layers?
dura mater, arachnoid, pia mater
innervates third pharyngeal muscles
glossopharyngeal or CN IX
innervates 4 and 6 pharyngeal arches (muscles of pharynx, larynx and esophagus)
vagus or CN X
peripheral nervous system is derived from?
neural crest cells
form satellite cells of the nerve cell bodies w/in
ganglia
amphicytes
connective tissue cells of the PNS are called?
neurolemmocytes
has two (2) processes, 1 axon and 1 dendrite
bipolar neuron
has three (3) or more processes: one (1) axon and 2 or more dendrites
multipolar neuron
has two (2) processes that arise separately from the cell body, fuse for a while to form 1 process and divide shortly thereafter into axon and dendrite
pseudounipolar neuron
has only one process, the axon
unipolar neuron
conduct impulses from the receptor organs to
the CNS (ex. touching a hot surface, these neurons present in your skin will send signals to the nervous system about the information)
sensory or afferent neurons
conduct impulses from the CNS to target organs (ex. snapping your finger)
motor or efferent neurons
transfer sensory impulses from
sensory neurons to efferent neurons
Association neurons or interneurons
