Loading flashcards...
1
What do somatic afferent (SA) pathways monitor?
- pain
- temperature
- light touch
- proprioception
2
Does the apparent origin of cranial nerves III, IV, and VI contain SA fibers?
no
3
What part of the III, IV, or VI cranial nerve contains SA fibers?
only the distal part of the nerve
4
Peripheral sensory processes conveyed in the III, IV, or VI cranial nerve will communicate with which cranial nerve branch?
ophthalmic division of trigeminal
5
Peripheral sensory processes conveyed in the III, IV, or VI cranial nerve travel to pseudounipolar sensory neuron cell bodies located in which ganglion?
Gasserian ganglion, semilunar ganglion, or trigeminal ganglion
6
Central sensory processes from the Gasserian ganglion are conveyed to the pons in what structure?
the sensory root of the trigeminal nerve
7
Typically, primary afferent neurons of the III, IV, or VI cranial nerve located in the semilunar ganglion will synapse in what nucleus?
spinal trigeminal nucleus
8
Recently, peripheral sensory processes conveyed in the III, IV, or VI cranial nerve have been shown to originate from primary afferent neurons in which location?
mesencephalic nucleus of the trigeminal nerve
