Spinal Cord & Nerves

Spinal Cord Extends from the base of the skull to the first or second lumbar vertebra 31 pairs of spinal nerves arise from the spinal cord

Pathways Between Brain and Spinal Cord Figure 7.22

Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Nerves outside the central nervous system Nerve = bundle of neuron fibers Neuron fibers are bundled by connective tissue

PNS: Structure of a Nerve endoneurium perineurium epineurium fascicle Figure 7.23

PNS: Classification of Nerves Mixed nerves Both sensory and motor fibers Sensory (afferent) nerves Carry impulses toward the CNS Motor (efferent) nerves Carry impulses away from the CNS

Cranial Nerves

PNS: Cranial Nerves 12 pairs of nerves that mostly serve the head and neck Only the pair of vagus nerves extend to thoracic and abdominal cavities 3 are sensory only 5 are MOTOR only 4 are MIXED

PNS: Cranial Nerves II Optic nerve — sensory for vision I Olfactory nerve — sensory for smell II Optic nerve — sensory for vision III Oculomotor nerve — motor fibers to eye muscles IV Trochlear — motor fiber to eye muscles

PNS: Cranial Nerves V Trigeminal nerve — sensory for the face; motor fibers to chewing muscles VI Abducens nerve — motor fibers to eye muscles VII Facial nerve — sensory for taste; motor fibers to the face VIII Vestibulocochlear nerve — sensory for balance and hearing

PNS: Cranial Nerves IX Glossopharyngeal nerve — sensory for taste; motor fibers to the pharynx X Vagus nerves — sensory and motor fibers for pharynx, larynx, thoracic and abdominal areas XI Accessory nerve — motor fibers to neck and upper back XII Hypoglossal nerve — motor fibers to tongue

PNS: Spinal Nerves There is a pair of spinal nerves at the level of each vertebrae for a total of 31 pairs Formed by the combination of the ventral and dorsal roots of the spinal cord Named for the region from which they arise

C1 2 3 Ventral rami form cervical plexus (C1 – C5) Cervical nerves 4 5 6 7 Ventral rami form brachial plexus (C5 – C8; T1) 8 T1 2 3 4 5 Thoracic nerves 6 7 No plexus formed (intercostal nerves) (T1 – T12) 8 9 10 Lumbar nerves 11 12 Sacral nerves L1 2 3 Ventral rami form lumbar plexus (L1 – L4) 4 5 S1 Ventral rami form sacral plexus (L4 – L5; S1 – S4) 2 3 4 (a) Figure 7.25a

PNS: Spinal Nerve Plexuses Plexus–networks of nerves serving motor and sensory needs of the limbs Form from ventral rami of spinal nerves in the cervical, lumbar, and sacral regions Four plexuses: Cervical Brachial Lumbar Sacral

Summary On a half sheet of paper, use today’s notes to write a summary on the spinal cord. Then, answer these… Which cranial nerves are mixed? Which ones control the eye? Taste & chewing?
