Nervous System Flashcards
(170 cards)
The CNS is
the brain
The PNS is
12 cranial nerves
dorsal and ventral root remain separate
3 types of cranial nerves
Ventral roots
Dorsal roots
Special Senory
Ventral Roots (4)
somatic MOTOR innervation to EYE & Tongue Muscles
Dorsal Roots (5) 3 types of dorsal roots
- Somatic & visceral Sensory
- “somatic” motor to pharyngeal arch muscles
- visceral motor (parasympathetic) to smooth muscles & glands
Special Sensory Nerves (3)
Smell (I)
Vision (II)
Hearing (VIII)
Taste (VII, IX, X)
CNS is also
spinal cord
PNS is also
31 pairs of spinal nerves
spinal nerves are
dorsal & ventral roots that create Mixed spinal nerves
Ventral root of spinal nerve
somatic & visceral MOTOR
Dorsal root of spinal nerve
somatic & ventral SENSORY
CN Primitive Ventral Root (4) are strictly
MOTOR
Motor to eye by primitive ventral roots of CN
III, IV, VI
motor to tongue by primitive ventral roots of CN
XII
CN Primitive Dorsal Root (5) may include
motor to pharyngeal arches,
sensory & parasympathetic
Primitive Dorsal Root CN are
V, VII, IX, X, XI
Pharyngeal Arches is cartilage that forms
several small bones of the head region
pharyngeal arch muscles are much of the musculature in the
face, oral cavity, pharynx, & larynx
innervation to pharyngeal arch muscles
DORSAL ROOT CN
Sympathetic innervation to the head is the outflow from
spinal cord levels T1-L2
it travels the same pathway to
sympathetic trunk
it passes upwards, along trunk to synapse in the
cervical ganglion
postganglionic fibers travel back to
spinal nerves
or if traveling back to head
follow arteries
