What Nervous system is the spinal cord a part of?
What is the central nervous system
100
Spinal nerves contain this part of an neuron.
What is axons.
100
The cerebral hemispheres are connect by this axonal structure
What is the corpus callosum
200
These branch-like structures collect and conduct information to the cell body (soma).
What is dendrites
200
This Cranial Nerve splits into three sections, opthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular.
What is Trigeminal Nerve, CN V
200
The segment extending from the spinal cord that resembles a "horse's tail"
What is the cauda equina
200
Spinal nerves contain neurons of what specialty?
What is motor(efferent) and sensory(afferent)
200
A raised region in the cerebral surface
What is gyri
300
These neurons, whose cell bodies are collected in the dorsal root ganglion, carry impulses towards the Central Nervous System
What is Afferent Neurons, Visceral and Somatic
300
This Cranial Nerve is responsible for balance and hearing.
What is the Vestibulocochlear Nerve, CN VIII
300
The spinal cord ends at this level of the vertebrae.
What is L1 or L2
300
The ventral (anterior) root contains what type of neurons?
What is Motor neurons (GVEs) and (GSEs)
300
The diencephalon refers to these two structures
What is the thalamus and hypothalamus
400
These neurons carry motor output to smooth muscle, glands, or cardiac muscle
What is General Visceral Efferent Neurons (GVEs)
400
This Cranial Nerve is responsible for motor action of the SCM and Trapezius muscles.
What is the Accessory Nerve, CN XI
400
A lumbar puncture is given at what vertebral level?
What is the L3/L4
400
Which spinal nerve exits inferiorly to vertebrae group, thus causing all other inferior spinal nerves to exit this way?
What is spinal nerve C8
400
This connects the third ventricle to the fourth ventricle

What is the epidural space (extradural space)
500
Damage to this Cranial Nerve can cause Bell's Palsy.
What is the Facial Nerve. Damage can cause dry eye, dry mouth, loss of taste to anterior 2/3 of tongue, and BP- paralyzed facial muscles
