Nervous System 1
The total number of cranial nerves and the acronym in class used to remember it.
These are the three parts to the brain stem.
What are the midbrain, pons, and the medulla oblongata ?
These are ridges, while grooves are these.
What are gyri and sulci?
What does the Somatic divison of the nervous system conrol?
Voluntary movement of the body
This gland hangs from the hypothalamus and responsible for growth.
These are the three layers of the meninges.
What are the dura mater, arachnoid mater and pia mater?
This is known as the ability of to respond to a stimulus.
What is irritability?
The cranial nerve responsible for smell. (need # and name)
What is cranial nerve I-Olfactory?
Having a stroke in this area may lead to a person being unable to speak.
What is the Broca's area?
This lobe functions in hearing.
What is the temporal?
This lobe is known as the vision lobe.
What is the occipital?
This allows for certain substances to go through to the brain while not allowing wastes.
What is the blood-brain barrier?
Stimulation of this nervous system results in increased blood pressure, increased respiratory rate, increased heart rate, dilation of pupils and decrease of GI activity.
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
The opposite of the 'fight or flight' response, this division of the nervous system brings the body back into homeostasis.
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
What structure functions like a highway and transmits nerve impulses from the body to the brain and from the brain to the body?
The spinal cord
This is the sequence of nerves that exit the spinal cord from superior to inferior.
There are approximately how many neurons in the human brain?
86 billion
This is the primary motor area.
What is the frontal lobe?
The central nervous system is made of these organs
brain and spinal cord
The peripheral nervous system consists of these structures.
What is the spinal and cranial nerves?
Cerebral Spinal Fluid circulates throughout the nervous except this area.
What is the corpus callosum?
This is the function of the vagus nerve?
What is regulates heart and digestion?
Cerebral edema may happen as a result of this.
What is the a traumatic brain injury?
This cranial nerve is responsible for balance and hearing. (# and name)
What is the vestibulocochlear-8?
This part of the brain stem controls heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, swallowing and vomiting.
What is the medulla oblongata?
The division of your peripheral nervous system that is made up of the nerves that control involuntary body responses and functions.
Autonomic nervous sysytem
Neurons taking information back to your body/organs are called what?
motor neurons/Efferent neurons
What is the cerebellum?
These cranial nerves are responsible for tongue movement, tongue sensations and taste. (# and name)
What is the glossopharyngeal-9 and hypoglossal-12?
These cranial nerves are involved with eye muscle movement. (#'s and names)
What are the trochlear-4 and the abducens-6?
