Nerve plexus (March 2014). A nerve plexus is a plexus (branching network) of intersecting nerves. There are spinal nerve plexuses; as well as other forms of autonomic plexuses, many of which are a part of the enteric nervous system.or the spinal plexuses, except for the ventral rami of Th2-Th12 nerves, they combine sets of ventral rami of spinal nerves that serve the same area of the body into one large grouped nerve. There are several in the body, including: 1  Cervical plexus-serves the head, neck and shoulders.

- Sensory: End organ is the sensory receptor. Junction is the connection between receptor and nerve. Nerve consists of myelinated and unmyelinated axons passing to the cell body (dorsal root ganglion cell), from which nerve passes into the Spinal Cord and the CNS.hese may be purely motor (musculocutaneous), purely sensory (cutaneous nerve of arm) or, usually, mixed (radial, median, ulnar, femoral, and sciatic). Note the difference between a myotome and a dermatome: The myotome refers to all those muscles innervated from a particular segment of the cord eg.

- A nerve fiber is a threadlike extension of a nerve cell and consists of an axon and (in some cases) a myelin sheath. There are nerve fibers in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. In the central nervous system (CNS), myelin is produced by oligodendroglia cells. Schwann cells form myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

- Nerve Plexuses. A nerve plexus is a network of nerves that seem to be tangled that mostly serve the limbs. Each network is a network of nerves that come together and then redistribute themselves out with a different distribution of nerves into the limbs.

Peripheral Nerve Disorders 1 It tends to be a systemic problem that affects more than one nerve group at a time. 2  Polyneuropathies are relatively symmetric, often affecting sensory, motor, and vasomotor fibers simultaneously. 3  Diabetic neuropathies are neuropathic disorders that are associated with diabetes mellitus.

Dermatome (anatomy) A dermatome is an area of skin that is mainly supplied by a single spinal nerve. There are 8 cervical nerves, 12 thoracic nerves, 5 lumbar nerves and 5 sacral nerves. Each of these nerves relays sensation from a particular region of skin to the brain. A dermatome also refers to the part of an embryonic somite. Along the thorax and abdomen the dermatomes are like a stack of discs forming a human, each supplied by a different spinal nerve. Along the arms and the legs, the pattern is different: the dermatomes run longitudinally along the limbs.

What is an Interneuron? An interneuron acts as a “middle-man” between sensory neurons and motor neurons. The synapse is where the end of one nerve cell, or neuron, meets another. Interneurons are neurons that are located entirely within the central nervous system that conduct signals between other nerve cells. Afferent nerve cells carry sensory impulses to the central nervous system when a person touches a hot stove.

- Nerve fiber = multicellular, containing both an axon and surrounding myelin sheath. The axon comes from a single neuron, but the myelin sheath is made by a train of many myelinating Schwann cells. In the case of unmyelinated axons, the unmyelinated fiber shares each Schwann cell with several other unmyelinated axons.

Abducens nerve From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The abducens nerve or abducent nerve (the sixth cranial nerve, also called the sixth nerve or simply CNVI) is a somatic efferent nerve that, in humans, controls the movement of a single muscle, the lateral rectus muscle of the eye.he abducens nerve leaves the brainstem at the junction of the pons and the medulla, medial to the facial nerve. In order to reach the eye, it runs upward (superiorly) and then bends forward (anteriorly). The nerve enters the subarachnoid space when it emerges from the brainstem.

Peripheral Nerve System “Peripheral nerve” is a term used synonymously to describe the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is a network of 43 pairs of motor and sensory nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) to the entire human body. These nerves control the functions of sensation, movement and motor coordination.

Nerve A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons (nerve fibers, the long and slender projections of neurons) in the peripheral nervous system. A nerve provides a common pathway for the electrochemical nerve impulses that are transmitted along each of the axons to peripheral organs.

- Tectonic theories attempt to explain why mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes occur where they do, the ages of deformational events, and the ages and shapes of continents and ocean basins.late Tectonics. By combining the sea floor spreading theory with continental drift and information on global seismicity, the new theory of Plate Tectonics became a coherent theory to explain crustal movements.

Top 20 Doctor insights on: How Long Does Nerve Block Last After Knee Surgery Nerve (Definition) The brain and spinal cord communicates with what is occurring in the internal organs and limbs by nerve fibers where are like electrical wires with insulation (myelin) and the copper (axon). Within brain and spinal cord these nerves connect to other nerves via synapses on both axons and dendrites. A nerve can carry information regarding sensations, and also commands for function. ...Read more.

Cranial Nerves Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), in contrast to spinal nerves (which emerge from segments of the spinal cord).Cranial nerves exchange information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck.Spinal nerves emerge sequentially from the spinal cord with the spinal nerve closest to the head (C1) emerging in the space above the first cervical vertebra.The cranial nerves emerge from the central nervous system above this level.Each cranial nerve is paired and is present on both sides. Depending on definition in humans there are twelve or thirteen cranial nerves pairs, which are assigned Roman numerals I–XII, sometimes also including cranial nerve zero.he cranial nerves emerge from the central nervous system above this level.

Node of Ranvier The nodes of Ranvier also known as myelin sheath gaps, are the gaps (approximately 1 micrometer in length) formed between the myelin sheaths generated by different cells.verview [edit]. Many vertebrate axons are surrounded by a myelin sheath, allowing rapid and efficient saltatory (jumping) propagation of action potentials. The contacts between neurons and glial cells display a very high level of spatial and temporal organization in myelinated fibers.
