Cranial Nerves
This cranial nerve deals sensory input regarding Vision.
What is the Optic Nerve (II) ?
Connects the cerebrum, diencephalon, and cerebellum to the spinal cord.
What is the Brain stem?
Found in the Peripheral nervous system they are a cluster of neuron cell bodies or Somas.
What is a ganglion?
Located at the front of the brain this lobe is involved in voluntary motor functions.
What is the Frontal Lobe?
What ion binds to Neuron transmitter Vesicles causing the exocytosis of said Vesicles.
What is Calcium?
This cranial nerve main function is Olfaction or Smell
What is the Olfactory Nerve (I) ?
This part of the brain is responsible for conscious thought processes.
What is the Cerebrum?
Specific location where a neuron is connected to another neuron or effect muscle or gland.
What is a synapse?
Located at the back of the brain this lobe deals mostly with the functions of visual information and storing visual memories.
What is the Occipital Lobe?
What is a chemical or ligand gated channel?
This cranial nerve deals with hearing and equilibrium.
What is the Vestibulocochlear Nerve (VIII)?
The second biggest part of the brain, it is responsible for coordination and fine tuned muscle movements.
What is the Cerebellum?
Part of the nerve referred to as the "Trigger Zone"
What is the Axon Hillock?
This lobe deals with hearing and smell.
What is the Temporal Lobe?
Threshold is reached at the Axon Hillock and triggers what kind of channels to open.
What are voltage gated Na+ (Sodium) Channels?
This cranial nerve deals with visceral sensory from the heart, lungs, and most of the abdominal organs.
What is the Vagus Nerve (X) ?
This part of the brain contains the epithalamus, thalamus, and hypothalamus.
What is the Diencephalon?
Insulation around some nerves that aids in propagation of action potentials down the Axon.
What is Myelin or Myelin Sheath?
This lobes major function is sensory input from the skin, muscles, and joints of the body.
What is the Parietal Lobe?
This is when the membrane potential becomes more negative at a particular spot on the neuron's membrane.
What is hyperpolarization?
This nerve innervates the intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles.
What is the Hypoglossal Nerve (XII) ?
A region of the brain concerned with the motor pathways for speech, physical production of speech, located on the left side of the frontal lobe.
What is Brocas area?
These two types of cells make up nervous tissue.
What are Neurons and Glial Cells?
This lobe is deep to the lateral sulcus, only recently discovered it equates memory with the interpretation of taste.
What is the Insula Lobe
ESPS and ISPS generated in the receptive segment are also called this.
What are graded potentials ?
