Name That Nerve
This sensory cranial nerve impacts taste perception and safety awareness.
What is Olfactory nerve?
Located within the cell body, which contains the neuron’s DNA of cell growth and regulation of the cell’s activity.
What is a Nucleus?
This part of the brain is responsible of making sure the body is in homeostasis.
What is the hypothalamus?
This is the outermost and toughest meningeal layer that protects the brain.
What is the dura mater?
This division of the autonomic nervous system supports steady respiration and aids in the phonation process.
What is the parasympathetic division?
This cranial nerve controls lateral eye movement.
What is the abducens nerve?
This part of the neuron receives signals from other nerve cells and transmits the signal toward the soma.
What are Dendrites?
This structure supplies the brain with the blood it needs.
What is the Circle of Willis?
This meningeal layer contains cerebrospinal fluid.
What is the arachnoid matter?
This nervous system extends from the brain to the spinal cord.
What is the central nervous system (CNS)?
This cranial nerve initiates swallowing and provides sensation to the tongue and the throat.
What is the glossopharyngeal nerve?
Without this part of the neuron, the nerve signals would transmit slowly and the nervous system would not function efficiently.
What is a Myelin Sheath?
This important pathway connects two areas in the brain and is important for speech production.
What is the arcuate fasciculus?
Cerebrospinal fluid is drained into the ventricle through the foramina.
What is the third ventricle?
This division of the autonomic nervous system provides what is known as the “fight or flight” response.
What is the sympathetic division?
Damage to this cranial nerve can impair voice quality, causing a breathy voice, hoarseness, or a total loss of voice.
What is the vagus nerve?
This is a thin extension of the neuron that transmits electrical impulses to other neurons.
What is an axon?
This groove seperates the frontal and parietal lobes from the temporal lobe.
What is the lateral sulcus?
This channel runs through the midbrain and opens up into the fourth ventricle.
What is the cerebral aqueduct?
This division of the peripheral nervous system relays sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.
What is the somatic nervous system?
Impairment with this nerve can lead to issues swallowing, tongue weakness, and difficulty with speech (dysarthria).
What is Hypoglossal nerve (Xll)?
This structure contains a pre synaptic membrane, a postsynaptic membrane, and a synaptic cleft.
What is a synapse?
This lobe is considered pretty hard to find, and it helps make us aware of our emotional needs.
What is the insular lobe?
This is the connection between the left and right thalami through the third ventricle.
What is the interthalamic adhesion?
A bundle of axons in this system is called a nerve.
What is the peripheral nervous system?
