Cranial nerve I is also known as the
What is the Olfactory
Cranial nerve II is also known as the
What is the Optic Nerve?
This cranial nerve is also known as the Oculomotor Nerve.
What is Cranial Nerve III?
This cranial nerve is also known as the trigeminal nerve.
What is cranial nerve V?
This is the cell in the nervous system capable of conducting and sending nerve impulses throughout the body.
What is a neuron?
What is sensory or afferent
This is the direction of impulse for Cranial Nerve II
What is a sensory or afferent neuron?
Cranial nerve number IV is also referred to as this
What is the trochlear nerve?
This is the direction of impulse for Cranial Nerve V
What is both sensory afferent and motor efferent?
This is the basic structure of all neurons.
What is/are a cell body, dendrites, and an axon?
This is the function of cranial nerve I
What is Olfaction or smell?
This is the function of Cranial Nerve II
What is Vision?
This cranial nerve is also known as the Abducens.
What is cranial nerve VI?
This cranial nerve's function is sensation in the skin on the face and head, as well as mastication.
What is the trigeminal nerve or cranial nerve V?
These are generated in the cell body, and the branch-like fibers called dendrites that extend out from the cell body.
What are nerve impulses?
This is where the olfactory nerves end
What is the upper portion of the nasal cavity?
This is where the optic nerve ends
What is the back of the eye at the retina?
This is the direction of impulse for cranial nerves III, IV, and VI.
What is motor or efferent?
The motor portion of cranial nerve V innervates muscles involved in this action
What is chewing or mastication?
This is the direction the nerve impulse flows once it has been generated.
What is down the dendrite, through the cell body, and down the axon?
This is formed at the ends of the olfactory nerves
What are the olfactory bulbs?
These are located in the retina and are capable of receiving light and color to create vision.
What are receptors?
This cranial nerve controls the inferior oblique muscle and the superior, medial, and inferior recti muscles.
What is the Oculomotor nerve, or cranial nerve III
The sensory portion receives these stimuli on parts of the face and mouth.
What are touch, heat, cold, pressure, and pain stimuli?
The axon is an extension neuron that contacts other neurons to do this
What is propagate a nerve impulse to its target?
This is the damage of the olfactory nerve and/or nasal epithelium, and can lead to an inability to smell.
What is Anosmia?
This is the name of the condition where blindness occurs in only a portion of a person's vision.
What is hemianopia?
This causes a rapid, involuntary movement of the eye because of weakness in the muscles surrounding the eye.
What is nystagmus?
An irritation to the trigeminal nerve can cause a condition known as ________ which causes constant pain in the associated sensory neurons.
What is trigeminal neuralgia?
These are the many branches at the end of an axon.
What are axon terminals?
