CRANIAL NERVES Similarities Between Spinal Nerves & Cranial Nerves: Cranial Nerves develop similar to Spinal Nerves, & hence have a similar structural Organisation:  Sensory Cranial Nerves: Similar to Afferent Spinal Nerves – Sensory Cranial Nerves’ Dendrites are associated with peripheral sensory receptors & their Cell Bodies are located in a Sensory Ganglia (Similar to the Dorsal Root Ganglion in the spinal cord). Their axons then terminate in the Sensory Nuclei of the Bra...

NSCI 175 EXAM 2 LEARNING OBJECTIVES REVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, RATED A+ Describe the gross organization of the mammalian nervous system in terms of the two divisions: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Include a description of what each part does in terms of function - -CNS= brain and spinal cord PNS= all other parts of the nervous system PNS has 2 parts: somatic PNS and visceral PNS. Somatic PNS includes motor axons which command muscle contr...
