What coordinates and fine tunes skeletal muscle movements and ensures that skeletal muscle contraction follows the correct pattern leading to smooth coordinated movements?
It also performs indirectly with voluntary and involuntary motor pathways
Cerebellum

Trigeminal
Where do preganglionic parasympathetic fibers arise from and where do they synapse?
Nucleus in brain stem
Synapse at 4 ganglia in head
- Ciliary
- Pterygopalatine
- Otic
- Submandibular

Where do you lose vision if there is something wrong with the optic nerve?
Take out one whole eye
Where do you leave vision if there is something wrong with the chiasma?
Decussation across midline
Takes out lateral side in both eyes
Where do you lose vision if there is something wrong with the optic tract?
Same side in both eyes lost
If you bit the tip of your tongue, what nerve would it send an afferent signal to the brain?
Lingual nerve from trigeminal nerve
Describe how tears are produced
- Produced in lacrimal gland
- Disperse across eye surface
- Fluid enters lacrimal canaliculi & collects in lacrimal sac
- Fluid from sac drains through nasolacrimal duct
- Fluid enters nasal cavity
List the order of the layers in the eye (outside in)
- Choroid
- Photoreceptor cells
- Rods and cones
- Horizontal layer
- Bipolar layers
- Amacrine cells
- Ganglion cells
Describe aqueous humor
- Epithelial cells covering the ciliary body secrete aqueous humor into the posterior chamber
- Flows through posterior chamber, around lens, through pupil, into anterior chamber
- Drained into scleral venous sinus and transported to venous bloodstream
What salivary duct is next to the second molar and pretty much only watery saliva?
Parotid duct
Which gland produces the most saliva?
Submandibular salivary gland
Which gland is a single duct from one single hole just anterior to the hole in mouth?
Submandibular salivary gland
What duct does mucusy saliva from multiple ducts come from?
Sublingual salivary gland
What type of papillae is on the anterior two thirds of the tongue, do not house taste buds and have no sensory role in gustation?
Filiform
What type of papillae is primarily located on the tip and sides of the tongue and contain only a few taste buds each?
Fungiform papillae
What type of papillae are the least numerous, but the largest, arranged in inverted V on posterior dorsal surface of tongue, surrounded by a deep, narrow depression and where most of our taste buds are housed?
Circumvallate (vallate)
What type of papillae is not well developed on the human tongue, extend as ridges on the posterior lateral sides and house only a few taste buds during infancy and early childhood?
Foliate
What are the distinct characteristics of the human brain?
- Cerebrum extremely large relative to body size
- Lateralization of cerebrum
- Areas of left hemisphere specialized for language
- Expanded limbic cortex
