Functions
The comparator. (Compares actual movements with intended movements)
What is the cerebellum?
What are nerves 3 and 4?
This nerve come off of the cervical plexus (C1-C5).
What is the phrenic nerve?
Adrenergic receptors bind these.
What is epinephrine and norepinephrine?
Hint for test: Norepinephrine is released from nerves and epinephrine is released into the blood.
Patient is experiencing sharp pain in their abdomen that has been consistent for the past couple of hours. What is the receptors being stimulated?
What are nociceptors?
Functions in the sleep/wake cycles.
What is the reticular activating system?
The nerves 5 to the first part of 8 come from this area of the brain.
What is the pons?
These nerves come off of the brachial plexus (C5-T1).
What are axillary, musculocutaneous, radial, ulnar, and median nerves?
This receptor is known for being primarily excitatory.
What are alpha 1 receptors?
When getting in the cold lake, these receptors are stimulated.
What are thermoreceptors?
Some functions coming from this part of the brain are mastication, facial expression, and salivation.
What is the pons?
These are the nerves coming from the medulla oblongata.
What is the nerves part of 8 through 12?
These nerves come off of the lumbar plexus (L1-L4).
What is obturator and femoral nerves?
These receptors are inhibitory. Can be found on the lungs and blood vessels.
What are beta 2 receptors?
You are at the doctors, and they are checking your eyes to make sure your eyes dilate and constrict properly. What are the receptors that are stimulated?
What are photoreceptors?
Some of the functions coming from this area are vasomotor, cardioinhibitory, and has respiratory centers.
What is the medulla oblongata?
Movement of the eye is coming from this part of the brain.
Explanation: nerve 3, oculomotor, functions to move the eye.
These nerves come off of the sacral plexus (L4-S4).
What is sciatic and tibial nerves?
The constriction of the bronchioles is (parasympathetic or sympathetic). For this to happen this neurotransmitter is released and would bind to this receptor.
What is parasympathetic, acetylcholine, and muscarinic receptors.
Grandma has just finished baking cookies, and you steal a fresh baked cookie to eat. What receptors have been stimulated?
What are chemoreceptors?
Contains both visual reflexes and balance of inner ear/auditory pathways.
What is corpora quadrigemina?
Explanation: Corpora quadrigemina contains both the superior and inferior colliculi. The superior colliculi has visual reflex functions and the inferior colliculi has balance of inner ear/auditory pathway functions.
Functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and digestion come from this part of the brain.
What is medulla oblongata?
Explanation: nerve 10, vagus, plays a critical role in autonomic (involuntary) functions.
Spinal nerves that arise from the lateral horns of T1-L2 have this type of output, and the spinal nerves that come off of S2-S4 have this type of output.
T1-L2: sympathetic output
S2-S4: parasympathetic output
To increase heart rate that would be (parasympathetic or sympathetic). For this to happen this neurotransmitter would be released and would bind to this receptor.
What is sympathetic, norepinephrine, and beta 1 receptor.
As you mount your horse these receptors are stimulated.
What are mechanoreceptors?
