Practicum 2 Flashcards
Abducens nerve
VI-motor movement of lateral rectus muscle-outward gaze.
Accessory nerve
Motor nerve-controls neck movement.
Anterior grey horn
Is the front column of grey matter in the spinal cord.
Anterior median fissure
A groove along the anterior midline of the spinal cord that incompletely divides it into symmetrical halves
Anterior white column
Refers to the large bundle of fibers located between the anterior median fissure of the spinal cord and the anterolateral sulcus of the spinal cord.
Central canal
Is a fluid-filled space in the spinal cord that has a protective function and allows nutrient transport.
Central sulcus
Is a prominent landmark of the brain, separating the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex.
Cerebellum
The cerebellum receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain that then regulates motor movements.
Cervix
Is it is the lower most part of the uterus and is made up of strong muscles. the function of the cervix is to allow flow of menstrual blood in the uterus into the vagina direct the sperm to do the uterus during intercourse go nuts ha ha ha ha go nuts ha ha Ha ha ha go nuts not nuts nuts
Choroid
Central layer of the eye lying between the retina and sclera it’s function is to provide nourishment to the outer layers of the retina through blood vessels.
Cingulate gyrus
Is a curved fold covering the corpus callosum. A component of the limbus system.
Go Nats clitoris clitoris
Is the main pleasure center for females during sex as more nerve endings in anywhere else in the body.
Cornea
Acts as the eyes outermost lens, it functions like a window that controls and focuses the entry of light into the eye.
Corpus callosum
Consists of about 200,000,000 axons that interconnect the two hemispheres. Integrates motor sensory and cognitive performances between the cerebral cortex on one side of the brain to the same region on the other side
Dorsal ramus
Contains nerves that serve the dorsal portions of the trunk; it carries visceral motor, somatic motor, and somatic sensory information to and from the skin and muscles of the back.
Dorsal root
Is one of two roots which emerge from the spinal cord. It emerges directly from the spinal cord and travels to the dorsal root ganglion.
Dorsal root ganglion
a cluster of cell bodies in the dorsal root of a spinal nerve. The dorsal root ganglia contain cell bodies for sensory nerves that carry information to the spinal cord.
Epididymus
It transports and stores sperm cells that are used in the testes.
External auditory canal
Passageway that leads from the outside of the head to the tympanic membrane.
Facial nerve
The facial nerve is the seventh cranial nerve, it emerges from the pons of the brainstem, controls and muscles of facial expression.
Fimbriae
Projections located at the ends of the Fallopian tubes, closest to the ovaries.
Fornix
Connects the hippocampus to the mammillary bodies of the hypothalamus
Fourth ventricle
The main function of this ventricle is to protect the human brain from trauma.
Fovea centralis
Is responsible for sharp central vision such as reading and driving
Frontal lobe
Is the part of the brain that controls important cognitive skills in humans such as emotional expression problem-solving memory language judgment and sexual behaviors.
Gland penis
Can be described as the rounded head of the penis.
Glossopharyngeal nerve
Responsible for a number sensory and motor functions associated with the tongue.
Grey commissure
Thin strip of grey matter that surround the central canal. And connects the two halves.
Hypoglossal nerve
Twelfth cranial nerve motor, and controls the tongue.
Hypothalamus
Links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland.
