Document Summary

Neuroanatomy exam review: define the following terms: cns, pns, cranial nerve, spinal nerve, dermatome. Cns: consists of the cortex, thalamus, brainstem and spinal cord and is protected by bone. Pns: consists of the cranial and spinal nerves and extends out of the cns. Cranial nerves: the 12 pairs of nerves that emerge directly from the brainstem and carry sensory information towards the cns. Spinal nerves: nerves that emerge out of the spine from the spine and car motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body. Dermatome: the area of skin supplied by the sensory axons of a single spinal nerve: define efferent, afferent, sagittal, coronal, horizontal, ipsilateral, contralateral, decussate, dorsal, ventral, rostral, caudal. Coronal: splits the front and back of brain (face and back of head) Horizontal: splits bottom and top brain: define, and provide at least one example of, each of the following neuroscience rules: symmetry, localization of function, topography, contralaterality.
