What cranial nerve is responsible for slowing the heart rate and accelerating peristalsis?
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) is responsible for slowing the heart rate (parasympathetic control) and accelerating peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract.
What cranial nerve is the only one to leave the head and neck area?
The vagus nerve (CN X) is the only cranial nerve that extends beyond the head and neck area. It travels throughout the body, reaching organs such as the heart, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract.
Which of the cranial nerves is named for the fact that it wanders that is it innervates organs and structures throughout the thorax and abdomen?
The cranial nerve that is named for its wandering nature is the vagus nerve, also known as cranial nerve X. It extends from the brainstem and innervates various organs and structures throughout the thorax and abdomen, including the heart, lungs, and digestive tract. Its extensive reach allows it to play a crucial role in autonomic functions, influencing heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate.
What is nerve that impulses carry information about temperature to the hypothalamus?
The nerve that carries information about temperature to the hypothalamus is primarily the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) for facial regions, along with the spinothalamic tract, which transmits temperature sensations from the body. These pathways relay sensory information about changes in temperature, allowing the hypothalamus to regulate body temperature and maintain homeostasis.
What is another name for a bundle of neurons?
Rarley i have heard them be called "nervous cells" but nothing else
What cranial nerves slows the heart and increases motility of digestive tract?
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) slows the heart and increases motility of the digestive tract. It is part of the parasympathetic nervous system which is a branch of the autonomic nervous system.
Cranial nerves part of what nervous system?
PNS means peripheral nervous system. CNS means central nervous system.

What cranial nerve allow you to tract with eye?
Optic nerve is the nerve which carries signal from Retina to brain.This is second cranial nerve.(First being Olfactory coming from nose.)It enters the brain through For-amen called Optic For-amen.Actually this nerve is extension of the brain tissue inside the eye.You have two parts of visual fields in retina. Temporal or outer and Nasal or medial. After optic nerve enters the brain,temporal fibers go on to the same side of Visual area situated at Occipital lobe.The fibers coming from Nasal side cross to apposite side of brain. This crossing is done at optic chiasma.there are other three nerves supply to outer eye muscles. The third cranial nerve called as Oculomotor supply to 4 eye muscles.The muscles are superior rectos, inferior rectos,medial rectos and inferior oblique.Forth cranial nerve called as Trochlear nerve supply to superior oblique muscle.Sixth cranial Abducent nerve supply to lateral rectos muscle.
What type of muscle tissue can you find in your livers?
Smooth Muscle would be found in the liver and also throughout the GI tract. Regulated by peristalsis which is regulated by parasympathetic nervous system stimulation by cranial nerve 10 (vagus nerve) by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine ACh.
What is nerve that impulses carry information about temperature to the hypothalamus?

Where do axons of the corticobulbar tract terminate?
motor nuclei of cranial nerves :)
What is the location of the vagus nerve?
It runs from the brain down through the neck before branching out to control many internal organs such as heart, stomach, lungs, intestine.
What is the most important nerve of the digestive tract?
Vagus nerve
How is the light optic tract anatomically different from the right optic nerve?
The right optic tract carries information from the left hand side of both eyes visual field, where-as the right optic nerve carries information solely from the right had eye. After the optic nerves from both eyes perform this partial intersection (in the optic chiasm) they then become known as the optic tract. Hope this helps.
A group of nerve fibers in the central nervous system?
A Tract
