Question
Answer
Function of PNS   Provide communication between CNS and organs  
🗑
Connective tissue covering nerves   1)Endoneurium-covers myelinated axon 2)Perineurium- covers a fascicle 3)Epineurium- covers a collection of fascicle  
🗑
types of peripheral nerves   1)Sensory (afferent)- info is being sent in, accepting by CNS 2) Motor (efferent)- "exiting" info being sent out from CNS 3) Mixed- some sensory, some motor, differentiate into  
🗑
types of Somatic nerve fibers   somatic efferent- ex. skeletal muscle somatic afferent- ex. touching skin  
🗑
types of visceral nerve fibers   visceral efferent- ex. movement of visceral organ, increase in heart rate) visceral afferent- ex. pain in the visceral organ  
🗑
How many cervical spinal nerves?   8- C8 nerve exits below C7 vertebral -rest of nerves as numbered by which vertebrae they exit ABOVE except C8  
🗑
How many thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves?   12 thoracic, 5 lumbar. Are number by which vertebra they exit BELOW  
🗑
D & V nerves form...   Spinal nerve  
🗑
Plexuses (where are they found)   interlacing networks of nerves, found in cervical, brachial, lumbar and sacral regions  
🗑
What is the importance of the branch of a plexus?   each contains fibers from several different spinal nerves so if a spinal nerve gets damaged, muscle will not be paralyzed  
🗑
What nerves form the cervical plexus?   C1-C5; innervates skin of the neck, ear, back of head and shoulders.  
🗑
Phrenic nerve   of the cervical plexus, C3-C5 ;"C3, C4, C5 keeps the diaphragm alive"  
🗑
What nerves from the brachial plexus?   C5-C8, T1; innervate the upper limb  
🗑
Major nerves of the brachial plexus?   Musculocutaneous, median, axillary, ulnar and radial  
🗑
What forms the lumbar plexus?   L1-L4; innervates the thigh, abdominal wall and psoas muscle  
🗑
Major nerves of the lumbar plexus   femoral and obturator nerve  
🗑
What nerves form the sacral plexus?   L4-S4; innervates glutes, lower limb, pelvic structures, and perineum  
🗑
Major nerve of the sacral plexus?   Sciatic, longest and thickest nerve of the body. Splits into tibial and common fibular nerve.  
🗑
what is a reflex?   a rapid predictable motor response to a stimulus  
🗑
5 main components of spinal reflexes?   1)receptor- nerve ending of sensory neuron;responds to change 2)Sensory neuron- carries info to CNs 3)Integration Center-CNs; receive, translate and make decision 4)Motor neuron: transmits impulses away from CNS 5) Effector: muscle or gland  
🗑
Innate reflexes   genetically determine  
🗑
acquired reflexes   learned  
🗑
Spinal reflexes   processing in the spinal chord  
🗑
cranial reflexes   processing in the brain  
🗑
Somatic reflexes   control skeletal muscle contractions, include superficial and stretch reflexes  
🗑
visceral (autonomic) reflexes   control actions of smooth and cardia muscles, glands  
🗑
monosynaptic reflexes   one synapse  
🗑
polysynaptic reflexes   multiple synapses  
🗑
