What cranial nerve motor fibers to sternocleidomastoid and trapezius?
The sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles are controlled by the accessory cranial nerve. Some call it cranial nerve XI.
What cranial nerve is used when rotating the head?
The spinal accessory nerve, or cranial nerve XI (eleven), is a purely motor nerve which innervates the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles. The sternocleidomastoid muscles are used to turn the head. The Accessory nerve also provides somatic motor fibers to muscles of the soft palate, pharynx, and larynx (spinal and medullary fibers respectively.)
Is the posterior interosseous nerve a cranial nerve or a spinal nerve?
what does ninth cranial nerve control? glossopharyngeal nerve is a mixed nerve, it has sensory and motor part. the sensory is at the poserior 1/3 of the tongue. It also is part of the pharyngeal plexus. (9,10,11) The motor part of the nerve ONLY supply the stylopharyngeus muscle!
The part of a spinal nerve that contains only sensory neurons is the?
The part of a spinal nerve that contains only sensory neurons is called the ventral root. There's also the axons of motor neurons and axons of sensory neurons.
Which among the frog's spinal nerves is the largest?
YES. Frogs do have spinal cords.
Does the nerve going to the eyebrow go to the spinal cord?
There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves which originate in the spinal cord. There are twelve cranial nerves, which are referred to by Roman numerals. Ten of the twelve cranial nerves originate from the brainstem; the other two stem from the forebrain and thalamus. The nerve that is responsible for eyebrow movement is the VII cranial nerve, also known as the facial nerve. This is one of the ten cranial nerves originating from the brainstem.
What is a motor nerve?
A motor nerve sends an impulse to certain muscles cells to make them contract. The group of muscle cells and the nerve is called a motor unit. Another Answer: In the field of anatomy and physiology, motor nerves are the ones that transmit impulses, called action potentials, from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to skeletal muscles. Sometimes motor nerves send messages that are voluntary or reflexive in order to make muscles contradict or inhibit muscle contraction.Answer A motor nerve is a kind of nerve that carries impulses from the central nervous system that trigger muscles to contract. It also allow to the brain to stimulate muscle contraction. Motor nerve is also called an efferent nerve that exclusively contains the axons of somatic and branchial motoneurons.
What is the role of the nerve roots in the formation and function of the sciatic nerve?
The nerve roots play a crucial role in the formation of the sciatic nerve by merging together to create the nerve. They also provide the necessary sensory and motor functions for the sciatic nerve to transmit signals between the lower body and the spinal cord.
What cranial nerve is also known as the accessory nerve?
The accessory nerve is also known as cranial nerve XI. It is primarily responsible for innervating the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles, facilitating shoulder elevation and head rotation. The nerve has both cranial and spinal components, with its cranial part originating from the brainstem and the spinal part arising from the upper cervical spinal cord.
What nerve carries impulses away from the brain?
The efferent nerves, also known as motor nerves, carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to control muscles and glands in the body.
Are efferent nerve fibers also described as motor nerve fibers?
yes
What is motor nueron disease?
When nerve damage effects a motor nerve, you have a motor neuron disease. It is also called neuropathy. For information on nerve damage repair go to www.realfoodnutrients.com/neu/home.htm
