List the 5 types of human spinal nerves.
| | | | | | |




Humans have 1-eight pairs of cervical (cranial) nerves, 2-
| | | | | | | |



twelve pairs of thoracic nerves, 3-five pairs of lumbar nerves,
| | | | | | | | | |



4- five pairs of sacral nerves, and 5-one pair of coccygeal
| | | | | | | | | | |



nerves
|




What is the most important nerve of the cervical plexus and what
| | | | | | | | | | |



structure does it supply?
| | | |




The phrenic nerve is the most important nerve of the cervical
| | | | | | | | | |



plexus and supplies both motor and sensory fibers to the
| | | | | | | | | |



diaphragm.
|




List the five final nerves that come from the Brachial plexus.
| | | | | | | | | |

,Axillary nerve, the radial nerve, the median nerve, the
| | | | | | | |



musculocutaneous nerve and the ulnar nerve.
| | | | | |




Describe the detail the structure of spinal nerves within the
| | | | | | | | |



vertebral column.
| |




Each spinal nerve emerges from the spinal cord by two short
| | | | | | | | | |



roots, the dorsal root which contains the axons of afferent
| | | | | | | | | |



sensory neurons, which conduct impulses to the cord and the
| | | | | | | | | |



ventral root which contains the axons of efferent motor
| | | | | | | | |



neurons, which conduct impulses away from the cord. These
| | | | | | | | |



two roots join just before a spinal nerve leaves the vertebral
| | | | | | | | | | |



column.
|




How is the hypothalamus involved with the entire internal
| | | | | | | |



environment of the body and the endocrine system in
| | | | | | | | |



particular?
|




The hypothalamus maintains homeostasis, the constancy of
| | | | | |



the internal environment and controls the pituitary gland and
| | | | | | | | |



serving as a link between the nervous and endocrine systems
| | | | | | | | | |

, All except what sensory impulses are channeled through the
| | | | | | | |



thalamus?
|




All sensory impulses (except those associated with the sense of
| | | | | | | | |



smell) are channeled through the thalamus.
| | | | | |




Describe the parietal lobe of the cerebrum.
| | | | | |




The parietal lobe receives sensory information from receptors
| | | | | | |



in the mouth for taste and located in the skin, such as those
| | | | | | | | | | | | |



for touch, pressure, and pain.
| | | | |




Describe the temporal lobe of the cerebrum.
| | | | | |




The temporal lobe has sensory areas for hearing and smelling.
| | | | | | | | |




Describe the occipital lobe | | |




The occipital lobe interprets visual input.
| | | | |




Describe the detail the structure of spinal nerves after leaving
| | | | | | | | |



the vertebral column.
