Nervous system
The eleventh cranial nerve that controls the motion of the neck muscle is the
Accessory nerve
The nerve that extends to the ear and to the area from the top of the head to the temple is called the
Auriculo temporal
What system is responsible for all involuntary body functions?
Autonomic nervous system
The long threadlike fibers extending from a nerve cell are called
Axons
Primary components of the nervous system include the
Brain, spinal cord and nerves
Which nervous system is composed of the brain and spinal cord?
Central nervous system
The three brain subsystems are
Central nervous system, peripheral nervous system and autonomic nervous system
The part of the brain that is the center of higher mental functions such as thought emotion and memory
Cerebrum
The four major part so the brain
Cerebrum, cerebellum, pons and medulla oblongata
What branch of the facial nerve extends to the muscles on the side of the neck?
Cervical
Three parts of a nerve cell
Dendrites, axons and synapses
The study of the nervous system
Neurology
The main nerve branch to the top 1/3 of the face is the
Ophthalmic branch
The three branches of the trifacial nerve are the
Ophthalmic, Maxillary and Mandibular
The subsystem of the autonomic system that slows the heart rate, dilates blood vessels and lowers blood pressure is the
Parasympathetic nervous system
The nervous system that carries sensory information to the brain from the eyes, ears, nose and tongue.
Peripheral nervous system
What system carries sensory information sent to the brain by the ears, eyes, nose and tongue?
Peripheral nervous system
The nerve of the arm that extends down the thumb side of the arm into the back of the hand is the
Radial
The four primary nerves of the arm and hand
Radial. Ulnar. Median. Digital.
Nerve cells that react to outside stimulation by sending a sensory message to the brain are
Receptors
The interaction of motor and sensory nerves
Reflex action
The nerve extending to the skin of the upper eyelid, eyebrow, forehead and scalp
Supraorbital nerve
The branch of the facial nerve that extends to the muscles of the temple, the side of the forehead, the eyebrow, eyelid and upper cheek is called the
Temporal
The nerve that extends to the muscles of the temple, the side of the forehead, the eyebrow, eyelid and upper cheek.
Temporal
The chief sensory nerve of the face responsible for transmitting facial sensations to the brain and for controlling the muscle movements of chewing is the
Trifacial nerve (5th cranial nerve)
The nerve of the arm that extends down the little finger side of the arm into the palm
Ulnar
The nerve that extends to the side of the forehead, temple and upper part of the cheek
Zygomatic
What nerve extends to the side o the forehead, temple and upper part of the cheek?
Zygomatic
The nerve that extends into the fingers of the hand
Digital
The seventh cranial nerve and primary motor nerve of the face is called the
Facial nerve
The primary motor nerve of the face
Facial nerve (7th cranial nerve)
The nerve that extends up the back of the scalp to the top of the head
Greater occipital
The body's state of balance is referred to as
Homeostasis
The main nerve branch to the middle 1/3 of the face
Maxillary
The nerve of the arm that extends down the mid-forearm into the hand
Median
The most vital part of the brain that contains centers that control breathing and heart function is called the
Medulla oblongata
Large nerves that perform both sensory and motor functions are called
Mixed nerves
Nerves that carry messages from the brain to the muscles ad cause a muscle to react are called
Motor nerves
The system that coordinates and controls overall operation of the human body by responding to both internal and external stimuli.
Nervous system
What controls all three subsystems of the nervous system?
The brain
The trifacial nerve controls the sensations of
The face, tongue and teeth
