What else can I help you with?
Which neuron is common only in dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord and sensory ganglia of cranial nerves?
multipolar neuron
What is the PNS made up of?
it is made up by nerves and associated cells that are not part of the brain and the spinal cord, included here are cranial nerves that pass through openings in the skull and stimulate regions of the head and neck, spinal nerves, and ganglia(ganglia are collections of nerve cell bodies).
What is the nervous system subdivision that is composed of the cranial spinal nerves and the ganglia?
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) original answer by btbchris
What are the two nerves that carry the preganglionic axons to the parasympathetic ganglia?
The two nerves that carry preganglionic axons to the parasympathetic ganglia are the cranial nerves and the sacral spinal nerves. Specifically, cranial nerves III (oculomotor), VII (facial), IX (glossopharyngeal), and X (vagus) are involved. Additionally, the sacral spinal nerves S2 to S4 contribute to the pelvic splanchnic nerves, which also carry preganglionic parasympathetic fibers. These pathways play a crucial role in the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, facilitating various involuntary functions.
What are the major nerves in your nervous system?
Cranial nerves and spinal nerves.
What are small groups of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord?
Ganglion or ganglia .
Is true Both spinal and cranial nerves have dorsal and ventral roots?
Dorsal and ventral roots are a feature of spinal nerves only. Cranial nerves do not have dorsal and ventral roots.
Are ganglia part of the central nervous system?
Yes, the PNS contains ganglia, cranial nerves, and spinal nerves.
What part of the nervous system consists of all of the spinal nerves and cranial nerves is the?
The peripheral nervous system consists of all the spinal nerves and cranial nerves. These nerves connect the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to the rest of the body, allowing for communication and control of bodily functions.
The system is formed by spinal and cranial nerves?
somatic
What nerve do the preganglionic fibers travel through?
The preganglionic fibers of the autonomic nervous system travel through the cranial nerves (in the head) and the spinal nerves (in the rest of the body). They synapse with postganglionic neurons in autonomic ganglia before reaching their target organs.
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.
