PNS and lymphatics Flashcards
visceral ( unconscious involuntary) motor neurons innervate _____
glands and cardiac smooth muscle
voluntary conscious somatic inniverate
skelatal muscles
Cranial nerves are in the PNS - 12 pairs where do they exit
They exit from posterior cerebrum
peripheral nerves exit through spinal nerves

does the ventral root have a ganglion
no
do efferent and afferent both pass through spinal nerve
yes
spinal segment of the ventral.anterior root carries what type of info
motor. efferent only

spinal segment spinal nerve
both
A layer of connective tissue that surrounds axons.
endonerium
The outermost layer of dense, irregular connective tissue surrounding a peripheral nerve.
epinerium
A small bundle of nerve fibers enclosed by the perineurium
fascicles
visceral motor nerve is autonomic or somatic
autonomic
what are the 4 plexus and what do they serve
Cervical Plexus —Serves the Head, Neck and Shoulders.
Brachial Plexus—Serves the Chest, Shoulders, Arms and Hands.
Lumbar Plexus—Serves the Back, Abdomen, Groin, Thighs, Knees, and Calves.
Sacral Plexus—Serves the Pelvis, Buttocks, Genitals, Thighs, Calves, and Feet.
spinal nerve of the cervical segment. It originates from the spinal cord It contributes nerve fibers to the phrenic nerve, the motor nerve to the thoracoabdominal diaphragm
C4
The oculomotor nerve
It allows movement of the eye muscles, constriction of the pupil, focusing the eyes and the position of the upper eyelid. Cranial nerve III works with other cranial nerves to control eye movements and support sensory functioning
C3
Cervical nerve 5 controls the deltoid muscles of your shoulders and your biceps. C5 provides sensation to the upper part of your upper arm down to your elbow
C5
brachial plexus C5-T1 - ventral rami
The musculocutaneous nerve is a terminal branch of the lateral cord of the brachial plexus that carries fibers of cervical spinal nerves five through
C5, C6, C7
The fifth and final level of the brachial plexus are the five nerves that feed the shoulder and arm called “branches.” These five branches are named the
musculocutaneous, axillary, radial, median, and ulnar nerves.
these are innovating upper limbs
Lumbar plexus is
T12-L4
femoral nerve is L2-4
major nerve supplying the anterior compartment of the thigh. the largest branch of the lumbar plexus, and arises from the dorsal divisions of the ventral rami of the second, third, and fourth lumbar nerves (L2, L3, and L4
sacral plexus begins as the anterior fibres of the spinal nerves S1, S2, S3, and S4. They are joined by the 4th and 5th lumbar roots
The sciatic nerve is formed in the lower spine by the combination of
L4-S3
