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

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.
