SLIDE 1: Peripheral Nervous System - is to connect the central nervous system to the

organs, limbs, and skin to allow for complex movements and behaviors.

SLIDE 2: Peripheral Nervous System are composed of two nervous system SOMATIC

NERVOUS SYSTEM and AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

SLIDE 3: SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM - is also known as the voluntary nervous

system. It contains both afferent nerves, made of sensory neurons that inform the

central nervous system about our five senses; and efferent nerves, which contain motor

neurons responsible for voluntary movements, such as walking or lifting an object.

SLIDE 4: the somatic nervous system composed of cranial nerves and spinal nerves.

SLIDE 5: The cranial nerves are a set of twelve nerves that originate in the brain. Each

has a different function for sense or movement.

The functions of the cranial nerves are sensory, motor, or both.

SLIDE 6: The cranial nerves are a set of twelve nerves that originate in the brain. Each

has a different function for sense or movement.

OPTION 1:

I. Olfactory nerve - The olfactory nerve transmits information to the brain regarding a

person's sense of smell.

II. Optic nerve - The optic nerve transmits information to the brain regarding a person's

vision.

III. Oculomotor nerve - The oculomotor nerve helps control muscle movements of the

eyes.

IV. Trochlear nerve - The trochlear nerve is also involved in eye movement.

V. Trigeminal nerve - The trigeminal nerve is the largest cranial nerve and has both

motor and sensory functions.

VI. Abducens nerve - The abducens nerve also helps control eye movements.

VII. Facial nerve - The facial nerve also has both motor and sensory functions.

VIII. Vestibulocochlear nerve - The vestibulocochlear nerve is involved with a person's

hearing and balance.

IX. Glossopharyngeal nerve - The glossopharyngeal nerve possesses both motor and

sensory functions.

X. Vagus nerve - The vagus nerve has a range of functions, providing motor, sensory,

and parasympathetic functions.

XI. Accessory nerve - The accessory nerve provides motor function to some muscles in

the neck

XII. Hypoglossal nerve - The hypoglossal nerve is a motor nerve that supplies the

tongue muscles.
SLIDE 7: Spinal nerves are an integral part of the peripheral nervous system. They are

the structures through which the central nervous system receives sensory information

from the periphery, and through which the activity of the trunk and the limbs is

regulated. Also they transmit the motor commands from the CNS to the muscles of the

periphery.

SLIDE 8: Regional divisions: 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, 1 coccygeal

SLIDE 9: AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM - is the part of the nervous system that

supplies the internal organs, including the blood vessels, stomach, intestine, liver,

kidneys, bladder, genitals, lungs, pupils, heart, and sweat, salivary, and digestive

glands.
