Question
Answer
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) description   show
🗑
The PNS includes _______ (4)   show
🗑
show Structures specialized to respond to stimuli Activation of sensory receptors results in depolarizations that trigger impulses to the CNS The realization of these stimuli, sensation and perception, occur in the brain  
🗑
Receptor Classification by Stimulus Type   show
🗑
show respond to touch, pressure, vibration, stretch, and itch  
🗑
Thermoreceptors   show
🗑
Photoreceptors   show
🗑
Chemoreceptors   show
🗑
Nociceptors   show
🗑
show Respond to stimuli arising outside the body Found near the body surface Sensitive to touch, pressure, pain, and temperature Include the special sense organs  
🗑
Interoceptors   show
🗑
show Respond to degree of stretch of the organs they occupy Found in skeletal muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments, and connective tissue coverings of bones and muscles Constantly “advise” the brain of one’s movements  
🗑
show Special Sense  
🗑
Most receptors are _____ and include _____ and _____varieties   show
🗑
Simple Receptors: Unencapsulated (facts)   show
🗑
show Merkel (tactile) discs – light touch Hair follicle receptors  
🗑
Simple Receptors: Encapsulated examples   show
🗑
show Receptor level – the sensor receptors Circuit level – ascending pathways Perceptual level – neuronal circuits in the cerebral cortex  
🗑
The receptor must have _______ for the stimulus energy   show
🗑
show receptive field  
🗑
Stimulus energy must be converted into a ____________ – receptor potential, a process called _________.   show
🗑
A _____ _______ in the associated sensory neuron must reach threshold   show
🗑
show stronger  
🗑
show Adaptation  
🗑
During adaptation _____________ become less responsive and _________ decline in frequency or stop.   show
🗑
______ – cordlike organ of the PNS consisting of ________ enclosed by __________   show
🗑
Endoneurium   show
🗑
Perineurium   show
🗑
show tough fibrous sheath around nerve  
🗑
show Sensory and Motor  
🗑
________ (_______) nerves carry impulse TO the CNS   show
🗑
show Motor (efferent)  
🗑
show Mixed  
🗑
show Somatic and autonomic  
🗑
List 4 types of mixed nerves   show
🗑
show can  
🗑
show Macrophages, schwann cells, axons  
🗑
___ pairs of cranial nerves arise from the brain   show
🗑
show 4  
🗑
show Arises from the olfactory epithelium Functions solely by carrying afferent impulses for the sense of smell  
🗑
Cranial Nerve II: Optic   show
🗑
Cranial Nerve III: Oculomotor   show
🗑
show Fibers emerge from the dorsal midbrain and enter the orbits via the superior orbital fissures; innervate the superior oblique muscle Primarily a motor nerve that directs the eyeball  
🗑
show Fibers emerge from the pons to face Largest of cranial nerves Sensory fibers to the face and motor fibers to the chewing muscles  
🗑
show Fibers leave inferior pons and enter orbit via superior orbital fissure to run to eye Controls the extrinsic eye muscle that abducts the eyeball (turns it laterally)  
🗑
show Mixed nerve with five major branches Motor functions include facial expression, and the transmittal of autonomic impulses to lacrimal and salivary glands Sensory function is taste from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue  
🗑
Cranial Nerve VIII: Vestibulocochlear   show
🗑
show Motor – innervates part of the tongue and pharynx, and provides motor fibers to the parotid salivary gland Sensory – fibers conduct taste and general sensory impulses from the tongue and pharynx  
🗑
show The only cranial nerve that extends beyond the head and neck Fibers emerge from the medulla via the jugular foramen Most motor fibers are parasympathetic fibers to the heart, lungs, and visceral organs Its sensory function is in taste  
🗑
Cranial Nerve XI: Accessory   show
🗑
Cranial Nerve XII: Hypoglossal   show
🗑
Spinal Nerves (number)   show
🗑
show area of skin innervated by the cutaneous branches of a single spinal nerve All spinal nerves except C1 participate in dermatomes  
🗑
Hilton’s law:   show
🗑
show reflex  
🗑
show Be inborn (intrinsic) or learned (acquired) Involve only peripheral nerves and the spinal cord Involve higher brain centers as well  
🗑
5 components of the reflex arc   show
🗑
