200
What is the number 31.
The number of spinal nerves.
300
What is the vestibulocochlear.
This nerve is associated with equilibrium and hearing.
300
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.
300
What is the sympathetic.
This division prepares the body for energy-expanding, stressful, or emergency situations, as part of the flight-or-fight response.
300
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.
300
What is facial.
The seventh pair of cranial nerves.
400
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.
400
What is the Trochlear.
This nerve sends motor impulses to superior oblique muscles that move the eyes.
400
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.
400
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.
400
What is the Vagus.
The tenth pair of cranial nerves.
500
What is the Glossopharyngeal.
This nerve sends sensory impulses from the pharynx, tonsils, and carotid arteries.
500
What is the hypoglossal.
This nerve sends motor impulses to muscles which move the tongue.
500
What is the somatic.
This part of the PNS oversees conscious activities.
500
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.
500
What is a plexus.
A complex network of interlaced nerves.
