Question
Answer
I. Olfactory Nerve   ability to smell  
II. Optic Nerve   back of eye occipital lobe for vision  
III. Oculomotor Nerve   one of three nerves that move the eye  
IV. Trochlear nerve   one of three that move the eye  
V. Trigeminal Nerve   mastication/chewing  
VI. Abducent Nerve   one of three that move the eye  
VII. Facial Nerve   nerve of the face/ expressions , saliva tears , taste sensation  
VIII. Vestibulocochlear   aprt of the inner ear equilibrum/ hearing  
IX. glossopharnyngeal   tongue/pharynx taste swallow, saliva secretion  
X. Vagus Nerve   viscera/organs  
XI. Accessory nerve   Traps /Scm head movement  
XII. Hypoglossal Nerve   moving the tongue for speech  
C1   no spinous process, vertebral foramen wide transverse processes articulates w/ occipital condyles  
C2   Bifid process on the spinous processes dens axis in pivot joint, first disc in between transverse and spinous processes  
Thoracic   12- vertebrae T1-T12 ribs attach to transverseprocesses & body of vertbra, ribs attach to facets  
Lumbar   5 vertebrae L1-L5 longest, thickest small transverse processes  
Sacrum   5 Vertebrae fused into 1 S1-S5 illums and coxals  
Coccyx   1 Vertbrae cooccyxgeal  
adult   extend L1-L2  
baby   extend L2-L3  
Conus Medullaris   tapering end of spinal cord as high as T12 as low as L3  
Cauda equina (horse Tail)   spinal nerve roots that are a bundle  
Denticulate LIgaments   lateral to spinal cord, guide wire to stablelize spinal cord a pia mater extension  
Filum Terminate   a pia mater extension direct contact to spinal cord serves as a anchor  
spinal tap/ lumbar   done below taper end of spinal cord  
intervertbral foramen   between all vertbrae opening for spinal nerves  
roots   attach spinal cord and nerves together , very specific either sensory or motor  
posterior/dorsal spinal cord   sensory root carry info into the spinal cord  
anterior/ventral spinal cord   carry motor info out of spinal cord  
spinal nerves   sensory & motor mixed  
rami   nerve surface from vertebral branches  
dorsal rami   innervate deep back muscles  
ventral rami   form a braid of nerves or plexus, there are 4 plexus  
cervical plexus   neck-spinal nerves c1-c4  
brachial plexus   neck C5-C8 & T1  
lumbar plexus   L1-L4  
Sacral Plexus   L4-S4  
Laminar groove   between transverse & spinous processes  
Laminectomy   remove section of the bone to relieve pressure on spinal cord  
cervical movement   flexion lateral flexion rotation extension  
thoracic movements   rotation, lateral flexion  
lumbar movement   lateral flexion rotation flexion extension
