the intention to contract a muscle begins in motor association (premotor) area of frontal lobes

144
Q

upper motor neurons

A

pyramidal cells of the precentral gyrus are called upper motor neurons

145
Q

lower motor neurons

basal nuclei

cerebellum

language include several abilities: reading, writing, speaking, and understanding words assigned to different regions of the cerebral cortex

155
Q

Cranial Nerves

A

–most of the input and output travels by way of the spinal cord
–12 pairs of cranial nerves arise from the base of the brain
–exit the cranium through foramina
–lead to muscles and sense organs located mainly in the head and neck

156
Q

Cranial Nerve Pathways

A

most cranial nerves carry fibers between brainstem and ipsilateral receptors and effectors

157
Q

most motor fibers of the cranial nerves begin

A

in nuclei of brainstem and lead to glands and muscles

158
Q

sensory fibers begin in receptors located mainly in

A

head and neck and lead mainly to the brainstem

159
Q

Cranial Nerve Classification

A

some cranial nerves are classified as motor, some sensory, others mixed

160
Q

sensory

A

(I, II, and VIII)

167
Q

V

A
Trigeminal Nerve - mixed
•largest of the cranial nerves
•most important sensory nerve of the face

–ophthalmic division (V1) –sensory
–maxillary division (V2) –sensory
–mandibular division (V3) -mixed
168
Q

Ipsilateral 
Inner ear to pons
Internal acoustic meatus 
hearing and equilibrium
171
Q

IX

Glossopharyngeal Nerve
Mixed
Medula to
Jugular foramen

swallowing, salivation, gagging, control of BP and respiration
•sensations from posterior 1/3 of tongue

172
Q

X

A

Vagus Nerve
Mixed
Attaches to medula down to large intestine
Jugular foramen

Most important parasympathetic
•most extensive distribution of any cranial nerve

Carries taste from cheeks,
•major role in the control of cardiac, pulmonary, digestive, and urinary function
•swallowing, speech, regulation of viscera

173
