Abducens (VI) - motor origin: pons term: lateral rectus -rotates eye laterally Accommodation - looking at an object up close -eyes converge ex) crossing -pupils constrict -lens changes: more curved (up close) Adaption of sensory receptors - most sensory receptors adapt, become less sensitive during prolonged time; Nociceptors and most proprioreceptors do not adapt Adrenergic neurons - secrete NE sympathetic postganglionic fibers 1. alpha adrenergenic: constrict blood vessels and dila...

SSEP Test Review electrical responses of the nervous system to sensory stimuli and are analyzed to assess the Integrity of portions of the nervous system - somatosensory evoked potentials SSEP's are recorded from both the Central and peripheral nervous systems True/False - True somatosensory evoked potentials only record short latency evoked potentials True/False - True short latency evoked potentials typically last less then 30 milliseconds and are resistant to changes in l...
