The optic nerve and the auditory nerve are both cranial nerves responsible for transmitting sensory information to the brain—specifically, the optic nerve carries visual information from the retina, while the auditory nerve conveys sound information from the cochlea. Both nerves are crucial for processing sensory input, allowing the brain to interpret visual and auditory stimuli. Additionally, they are both part of the central nervous system's pathway, facilitating communication between sensory organs and the brain.
No, they are not the same. Dendron refers to the main projection of a nerve cell, while dendrite is a smaller branch extending from the dendron that receives signals from other nerve cells.
The 8th Cranial nerve has a lot of common names, but it always begins in the inner ear and ends in the brain.Here are names for the same nerve from different texts:Acoustic nerveAuditory nerveCochlear nerveAuditory vestibular nerveVestibulocochlear nerve is the preferred name8th Cranial Nerve
It is a bundle of neurons, all flowing from the same general source (the eye) to the optic chiasm.
It's due to pontine lesion that destroys abducens nerve, facial nerve and corticospinal tract of one side.paralysis of lateral rectus muscle on the same side = due to damaged abducens nerveparalysis of facial expression muscles, and loss of other functions on the same side = due to damaged facial nerveparalysis of contralateral limbs = due to damaged corticospinal tract
The peripheral nervous system is the same as the sensory nerves. These are the nerves which are responsible for the various senses.
Yes, remember the mnemonic SAME DAVESAME DAVE:sensory is afferent, motor is efferentdorsal is afferent, ventral is efferent
No, they are not the same. Dendron refers to the main projection of a nerve cell, while dendrite is a smaller branch extending from the dendron that receives signals from other nerve cells.
I believe you mean autonomic neurons (part of the ANS) and yes, they can be sensory neurons. Sensory neurons are the same as afferent neurons--meaning they carry signals towards the CNS. Think as afferent as 'approaching'. Anyhow, these neurons sense the conditions of your visceral organs and whatnot. Other wise it would have no information to judge for what signals to send. So yes, autonomic neurons consist of both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) neurons.
True
A sensory receptor is a sensory nerve ending that responds to a stimulus in the internal or external environment of an organism. The sensory receptor initiates sensory transduction by creating graded potentials or action potentials in the same cell or in an adjacent one.
They are called as motor neurons. They are same like sensory neurons. Only difference the direction of the nerve impulse. The nerve impulse travel from dendrites to body to axon to axon terminals.
1. relating to sensation and the sense organs - "heightened sensory awareness" 2. involving or derived from the senses 3. connected with the physical senses of touch, smell, taste, hearing and seeing 4. of, pertaining to, or transmitting stimuli to the senses. 5. conveying nerve impulses from the sense organs to the nerve centers - "sensory neurons" In medieval cultures, literature as communicative action is at all times also physical and sensory action. Emotional poetry by early writers in United States continued in the same lines.
no difference except for the sensory supply. if you damage your sciatic nerve, the sensory and muscle supply above the knee also lost as the sciatic nerve is damage. This is because common peroneal nerve is the brach of sciatic and it is at level of your knee. Only muscle and sensory below the knee level will be affected if you damage the common peroneal nerve. However the condition of foot drop would be the same
Not really. Basal ganglia are a grouping of nerve cell bodies that are associated with various parts of the brain, mostly for sensory input, and one of these associations is the cerbrum.
There are the Mixed Nerves in the spinal column that carry both sensory and motor nerves, but these neurons have 2 different jobs that they do,& I know of no neurons doing both as the impulses travel to 2 different locations which couldn't be done at the same time.
The same thing that happens when you cut the Jugular, its like the main nerve in a car!
