Vocab 2 Flashcards
Cranial nerves that primarily conduct motor commands
Motor nerves
Nerve composed of sensory fibers for the sense of smell composed
olfactory nerve
A nerve that carries visual information
optic nerve
The nerve that innervates for extrinsic eyeball muscles
Oculomotor N.
What is the nerve that supplies motor fibers to the superior oblique muscle of the eye and originates where the mesencephalon joins the pons
Troclear N.
The largest of the cranial nerves
trigeminal N.
Nerve that controls the lateral rectus extrinsic muscle of the eye
abducens N.
Nerve located on the medulla oblongata posterior and lateral to the abducens nerve
facial nerve
The nerve is also called the auditory nerve is a sensory nerve of the inner ear located near the medulla oblongata near the facial nerve
vestibulocochlear N.
A mix nerves of the tongue and the throat
glossopharyngeal N.
This nerve is a complex is a nerve on the medulla oblongata that has mixed sensory and motor functions
vagus nerve
The nerve is a motor controlling the skeletal muscles involved in swallowing and the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscle of the neck
spinal accessory N.
The nerve is positioned more to the midline than the other cranial nerves on the medulla oblongata
hypoglossal N.
The structure between the brain stem and the cerebellum
fourth ventricle
A small chamber within the diencephalon
Mes. cerebral aqueduct, third ventricle
CSF circuited from the lateral ventricles through this
interventricular foramen
The thin membrane that separates the lateral ventricles
septum pellucidum
One in each cerebral hemisphere they extend deep into the cerebrum as horseshoe shaped chambers
lateral ventricles
The cerebral hemispheres are connected by a thick tract of white matter called this
corpus callosum
The inferior portion of the corpus callosum “emotional brain”
fornix
Inferior to the occipital lobe of the cerebrum
cerebellum
A nipple like structure superior to the mesencephalon position between the cerebrum and cerebellum
pineal gland diencephalon
Part of the brian that is located superior to the pons covered by the cerebrum also called the midbrain
mesencephalon
Part of the brain that is superior to the medulla oblongata and functions as a relay station to direct sensory information to the thalamus and cerebellum
pons
The region of the brain that connects the spinal cord to the brain
medulla oblongata
The most complex part of the brain, conscience thought
Cerebrum
