Document Summary
From our perspectives the 4 most important cranial nerves are: (functions?: optic vision, olfactory smell, auditory-vestibular hearing and balance, vagus connected to the gut. Delivers messages to other parts of the brain. Sensory and motor nerves to the body (not head) The automatic nervous system consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions, which can be compared in terms of their: function/role, origin of nerves, location of ganglia, organs innervated. Examples of typical test questions from previous lecture: give the name and function of 4 cranial nerves, give the 2 principles of spinal cord organization, compare the two divisions of the automatic nervous system. What are the dots and v-shaped things at each end of the lines: a collection of neurons that are synapsing/relaying information, dots = cell, v = connection. How are the two systems similar and different: most of them are interacting with most of the internal organs.
