---|---|---|---|---|
What is the accessory nerve.
This nerve sends impulses to the neck and shoulder.
|
What is the olfactory nerve.
This nerve sends sensory impulses associated with smell.
|
What is the sympathetic and parasympathetic.
Name the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system?
|
What is the Trigeminal nerve.
This nerve is the largest and is divided into three sections.
|
What are the spinal nerves.
These types of nerves are not named individually but are grouped according to the level from which they arise.
|
What is the abducens.
This nerve sends motor impulses to the lateral rectus muscles which move the eye laterally.
|
What is the optic nerve.
This nerve sends sensory impulses associated with vision.
|
What is the autonomic.
This part of the PNS functions independently and continuously without conscious effort.
|
What is the number five.
The trigeminal nerve is this number.
|
What is the number 31.
The number of spinal nerves.
|
What is the vestibulocochlear.
This nerve is associated with equilibrium and hearing.
|
What is the oculomotor.
This nerve sends motor impulses to the muscles of the eyes which are responsible for adjusting the amount of light entering the eyes, focusing the lenses, and raising the eyelids.
|
What is the sympathetic.
This division prepares the body for energy-expanding, stressful, or emergency situations, as part of the flight-or-fight response.
|
What is the mandibular division.
This division of the Trigeminal nerve sends sensory impulses from the skin of the jaw, lower teeth, lower gum, lining of the palate, and lower lip. It also sends motor impulses to muscles of mastication.
|
What is facial.
The seventh pair of cranial nerves.
|
What is the facial nerve.
This nerve sends sensory impulses associated with taste receptors of the anterior tongue. It also sends motor impulses to the muscles of facial expressions, tear glands, and salivary glands.
|
What is the Trochlear.
This nerve sends motor impulses to superior oblique muscles that move the eyes.
|
What is the parasympathetic.
This division counterbalances the effects of the sympathetic division and restores the body to a resting state following a stressful experience.
|
What is the maxillary division.
This division of the Trigeminal nerve sends impulses from the upper teeth, upper gum, upper lip, lining of the palate, and skin of the face.
|
What is the Vagus.
The tenth pair of cranial nerves.
|
What is the Glossopharyngeal.
This nerve sends sensory impulses from the pharynx, tonsils, and carotid arteries.
|
What is the hypoglossal.
This nerve sends motor impulses to muscles which move the tongue.
|
What is the somatic.
This part of the PNS oversees conscious activities.
|
What is the ophthalmic division.
This division of the Trigeminal sends sensory impulses from the surface of the eyes, tear glands, scalp, forehead, and upper eyelids.
|
What is a plexus.
A complex network of interlaced nerves.
