Damage to this fiber type would lead to a loss of sensory function?
ventral root of a spinal nerve
What is the function of the radial nerve?
The radial nerve supplies the muscles of the arm and forearm and and is also the sensory nerve for the upper limb. It therefore helps in the movement of the upper limb and is also partly responsible for sensory feeling in part of the arm and forearm and hand
The speed of nerve impulse transmission through the axon of a sensory neuron will be quickest in?
I'm guessing; "myelinated nerve fibres" contrary to the much slower "non-myelinated nerve fibres"
What nerve is tested for patellar reflex?
The Femoral nerve. Wikipedia: Striking the patellar tendon with a tendon hammer just below the patella stretches the quadriceps muscles in the thigh. This stimulates stretch sensory receptors (i.e. muscle spindles) to trigger an afferent impulse in a sensory Ia-nerve fiber of the femoral nerve which synapses (without interneurones) at the level of L4 in the spinal cord, completely independent of higher centres.
Is vagus nerve a motor nerve?
its both motor and sensory
What is the same as a sensory nerve?
The peripheral nervous system is the same as the sensory nerves. These are the nerves which are responsible for the various senses.
What layer of skin contains sensory receptors for touch?
The Dermis layer contains the sensory nerve fiber, so it is the Dermis layer that contains sensory receptors for touch.
What is c type of sensory nerve fibers detail?
C fiber sensory nerves have small diameter unmyelenated axons and carry the signals from pain receptors.
Afferent nerves are also called what?
Nerve cell called sensory neurons. An axon also known as a nerve fiber is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conduct electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body.If the fibres which are the branched projections attach to the cell body of nerve cell are dendrites
What is cranial nerve 7?
Cranial nerve 7 is also referred to as the facial nerve. It has both sensory and motor components. Its sensory portion is responsible for taste on the anterior two thirds of the tongue as well as sensation for a small patch of skin by the ear. Its motor component is responsible for innervating the muscles of facial expression.
Function of radial nerve?
The radial nerve supplies the muscles of the arm and forearm and and is also the sensory nerve for the upper limb. It therefore helps in the movement of the upper limb and is also partly responsible for sensory feeling in part of the arm, forearm and hand.
What is mixed neuron?
Mixed nerve is a nerve that carry all the motor function, sensory function and the autonomic function in a single fiber. Spinal nerve is the example of the mixed nerve. Some of the Cranial nerve on the other hand is not the mixed nerve as it only has one property which is either sensory or motor function. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=spinal+nerve&gwp=13
Which carnial nerves are purely sensory?
Actually, there are three cranial nerves that are completely sensory: Olfactory nerve, Optic nerve and the Vestibulocohlear nerve. The Optic nerve is responsible for sensory information for vision, the Olfactory nerve is responsible for sensory information coming from the nose and the Vestibulocohlear (the craziest word to spell) involves sensory information for hearing (get it?- cohlear, ear) and equilibrium.
What is the Alternative name for sensory nerve ending?
The other name for the sensory nerve is sensory neuron. These are nerve cells that transmit sight, sound, and feelings.
Damage to this fiber type would lead to a loss of sensory function?
ventral root of a spinal nerve
Stratum basale cell and a nerve fiber create?
the only cell that ,in conjunction with sensory nerve endings, from sensitive touch receptors is located in the deepest stratum of the Epidermis is called "Merkel disc"
What is the function of the radial nerve?
The radial nerve supplies the muscles of the arm and forearm and and is also the sensory nerve for the upper limb. It therefore helps in the movement of the upper limb and is also partly responsible for sensory feeling in part of the arm and forearm and hand
