NERVOUS SYSTEM QUIZ 2 Flashcards
These are intersection of nerves.
Plexus
Five Major Plexuses
Cervical, Branchial, Lumbar, Sacral, Coccygeal
Cervical
C1-C4
Phrenic Nerve
Branchial
C5-T1
Axillary, radial, musculocutaneous, ulnar, and median nerves
Lumbar
L1-L4
Sacral
L4-S4
Coccygeal
S5-Coccygeal
Lumbar and Sacral plexuses are often considered together as_____
lumbosacral plexus
Obturator (gitna ng hita)
Femoral (likod ng hita)
Tibial
Common fibular nerves
Nerves arising from plexuses are distributed to ______
skeletal muscles throughout the body
Contained in the cranial cavity (cranium or skull)
Brain
Control center for many of body’s functions
Brain
Brain consists of the following
Brainstem
Cerebellum
Diencephalon
Cerebrum
Brainstem consist of the ______
Medulla Oblongata
Pons
Midbrain
(Malanding Pusa Makulit)
Connects the spinal cord and cerebellum to the remainder of the brain
Brainstem
Ten (10) of the 12 pairs of cranial nerves arise from it
Brainstem
Damage to small areas of the brainstem can cause death, whereas damage to relatively large areas of the cerebrum or cerebellum do not
Brainstem
Continuous with the spinal cord and contains ascending and descending tracts
Medulla oblongata
Medullary nuclei
regulate heart, blood vessels, breathing, swallowing, vomiting, coughing, sneezing, hiccuping, balance, and coordination
Are tracts controlling voluntary muscle movement
pyramids
-Superior to the medulla
Pons
Ascending and descending tracts pass through the pons
Pons
Connects the cerebrum and the cerebellum
Pons
regulate breathing, swallowing, balance, chewing, and salivation
Pontine nuclei
Superior to the pons
Midbrain
