PNS Flashcards
composed of the cranial nerves arising from the brain and spinal nerves
Peripheral nervous system
most anterior sensory nerve; transverses the formamina in the ethmodial cribriform plate
olefactory nerve I
senesory: smell
tip of the nerve
olfactory bulb
impluses pass through here to the cerebral cortex to be interperpeted
olfactory bulb
anterior portion leading to eye; passes through the opic canal
optic nerve II
sensory; sight
middle portion of the X
optic chiasm
where it comes together
posterior portion that leads posteriory to the thalumus
optic tract
motor: ciliary muscles, constricts pupil, extrinsic eye muscles except superior oblique and lateral rectus
oculomotor nerve III
motor:superior oblique muscle of the eye
trochlear nerve IV
largest cranial nerve
trigeminal nerve V
patricks armpit
innervates scalp and forehead region
ophthalmic division V1
through the foramen rotumdum to the upper jaw region
maxillary division V2
through the foramen ovale to the lower jaw region
mandibular division V3
motor: lateral rectus of eye
abducens nerve VI
sensory: taste (anterior 2/3 of tounge)
Moter: muscels of facial expression, secretion of saliva and tears
facial nerve VII
Sensory: hearing balance and posture
vestibulocochlear nerve VIII
sensory: taste (posterior 1/3 of tounge)
motor: smallowing and secretion of saliva
glossopharyngeal nerve IX
sensory and motor: 70% of the parasympathetic division of the ANS
Vagus nerve X
Motor: trapezius and sternoclediomastoid
accessory nerve XI
Motor: muscles of the tongue
hypoglossal nerve XII
group of nerves that supply the upper limbs
brachial plexus
Y nerve
Median nerve
ulnar nerve
radial nerve
musculocutaneous nerve
lumbosacral plexus
anterior side
femoral nerve
posterior side
sciatic nerve
anterior side; branch of sciatic nerve
tibial nerve
posterior side; branches off from the sciatic nerve
common fibular (peroneal nerve)
tongue
lingual frenulum
connects the tongue to the bottom of the mouth
papillae
fifiform papillae
fills in all the rest of the space
fungiform papillae
tastebuds
circumvallate papillae
big ones at the back of the tongue
palpebrae
eyelid
levator palpebrae superioris
lacrimal gland
lateral side
exretory lacrimal ductules
