(mnemonic: the mouse learned consciously sensing muscles)
core of brain
Inner - core or central part of the brain.
Relay - relay station function for sensory inputs and autonomic functions.
Hub - the processing of impulses to and from the cerebral cortex.
PNS
,4|P a g e
Composed of:
1. cranial nerves
2. spinal nerves
cranial nerves
- 12 pairs of nerves at base of the brain
- supply sensation
- responsible for various sensory/motor functions
trigeminal nerve (and divisions)
- 5th cranial nerve supplying sensation to the teeth and jaws
- three divisions: ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular
,5|P a g e
mandibular (IAN) block
- anesthetizes inferior alveolar and lingual nerves,
- numbs all of the mandibular teeth, chin, and lip on the same side
- with the lingual nerve numbs half of the tongue, and the floor of the mouth
posterior superior alveolar block
- anesthetizes branches of the posterior portion of the maxillary alveolus (widened
bone containing tooth sockets)
- In maxilla, teeth can be anesthetized individually w/ thtis block or an infiltration
injection at tooth's apex
greater palatine nerve block
numbs branches of the maxillary division serving the palate
, 6|P a g e
nasopalatine nerve block
numbs the palate behind anterior teeth
ANS
- regulates involuntary functions
- divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic
sympathetic nervous system
- prepares body for intense physical activity
- exerts effects through norepinephrine (adrenergic)
