PNS: Spinal and Cranial Nerves

Peripheral Nervous System l l l Exterior to the CNS Interacts with CNS Cranial and Spinal Nerves

Cranial Nerves l l l 12 in total Named by Roman Numerals and Names ex: Cranial Nerve V Primarily serve head/neck region Except 1 nerve (Vagus) that goes out

Mnemonic Device to remember l On Old Olympus Towering Tops A Friendly Viking Grew Vines and Hops Also for Sensory/Motor/Both l Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter More

Function Chart l Make yourself a chart in your notes (I- XII) l Nerve name, function, sensory/motor

Function of each

Spinal Nerves l l 31 total spinal nerves DORSAL and VENTRAL root converge external to spinal column

Dorsal l l Carries sensory fibers (afferent) Carries info TOWARDS CNS Ventral l l Carries motor fibers (efferent) Carries info AWAY from CNS

1 st Break Down: Sensory/Motor Peripheral Nervous System Sensory (Afferent) Motor (Efferent)

Sensory l l l Pick up info from environment via receptors 5 receptors Classed by stimulus Motor l l Movement induced via NT Remember NMJXN and ACH…

Sensory Receptors l Mechanoreceptors: changes via movement – l l Ex: touch, pressure, stretch, vibration Thermo: temperature Photo: Light Chemo: Chemicals in solution Nociceptors: PAIN


Secondary Division of MOTOR Peripheral Nervous System Sensory (Afferent) Motor (Efferent) Somatic (Voluntary) Autonomic (Involuntary)

Somatic Motor l l Voluntarily activates muscles (skeletal) Neuron- cell body in CNS and Axon to muscle

Autonomic Motor l l Regulates smooth & Cardiac muscle Regulates glands Maintains stability/homeostasis Neuron Comm- 2 NEURONS – – – 1 st in CNS 2 nd in PNS Connection b/w 2 made in ganglion

3 rd Division (of autonomic) Peripheral Nervous System Sensory (Afferent) Motor (Efferent) Somatic (Voluntary) Autonomic (involuntary) Parasympathetic (Rest and Digest) Sympathetic (Fight or Flight)

Sympathetic l l Division of ANS Fight/Flight Antagonist to Para NT: Norepi and Epi Parasympathetic l l Division of ANS Rest/Digest Antagonist to Sympathetic NT: ACH
