What division does the PNS have and what are the characteristics?

What division does the SNS have and what are the characteristics?

What has tonic activity?

BVs (smooth muscle) is only SNS therefore you need to increase or decrease the freq of AP for VC/VD

What are the ganglion that is apart of SNS?

What are the ganglion that is apart of SNS?

What are the NTs to skeletal muscle, various organs via SNS, sweat glands and various organs via PNS?

Fill in for PNS and SNS

Fill in for PNS and SNS

Fill in covered part

Fill in covered part

Fill in covered spot

What are the areas that are big and small for sensory?

What are the areas that are big and small for motor?

What are the ascending tracts? What are the order neurons?

What are the descending tracts? What are the order neurons?

What is the posterior columns, spinothalamic tract and corticospinal tract?

What is the excitation contraction pathway?

WHat are the inn. of eye?

What is the CN 3 a part of (reflex)? How does that work?

Pupillary light reflex: direct and consensual response

What muscles contract/reflex in the eyeswith SNS and PNS

CN V injury * Paralysis of what? * Lostt of what? (2)

* Paralysis of muscles of mastication (temporalis, medal and later pterygoid and masseter m) * Loss of facial general sensation * Loss of the corneal reflex

When is there a lost of corneal reflex?

Lesion of ophthalmic nerve (CN V1) or the facial nerve (CN VII)

CN VII * What is the sensory and speical sensory?

CN VII * What is the parasympathetic? * What is the motor part?

## Footnote Stapedius muscle: dampens sound

What are the components of CN VIII

Important for hearing, balanc and equilibrium

Why is CN XI susceptible to injury during surgical procedures?

CN XI * What is the result of lesion? * What is impaired? (2)

CN XII * What does injury to CN XII cause? * What happens after some time?

What happens when there is a lesion on CN XII?
