Q

Thalmaus can be defined as paired structure of white matter (located in mid brain) with nerve fibers projecting out to the cerebral cortex in all directions. T/F ?

A

FALSE.
GRAY MATTER
AND LOCATED IN FOREBRAIN

17
Q

Pons relay signals from forebrain to __?

18
Q

Pons has nuclei in what cranial nerves

19
Q

what is the function of the pons ?

A

controlling, sleep, bladder, respiration, swallowing, hearing, equilibrium, taste, facial expression, posture

20
Q

what would be the effect to injury to the pons

A

the brain would not be able to function because messages would not be transmitted

responsible for balance and coordination

volunary ations done w/ intent i.e walking, writing, standing upright

23
Q

what can damage to cerbellum cause ?

A

disorders in fine movement, equilibrium, posture, and motor learning

24

26
CN9 has parasympatheric fibers that innervate ?
salivary glands through otic ganglion
27
the greater petrosal and deep petrosal nerve converge at the
pterygoid canal and go to pterygopalatine ganglion of the lacrimal glands
28
