This week we reviewed mostly on the first meeting over the circle of Willis and CSF circulation. Then the next class we had a different professor. It's funny how you get so used to one professor all the time, when another one comes along, how different they teach. Anyway, we covered the peripheral nervous system. This is divided into somatic and autonomic divisions. The somatic division regulates voluntary skeletal muscle. The autonomic division deals with the glands and smooth muscle. Then we went over the cranial nerves There are twelve pairs of nerves: olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducens, facial, vestibulo-cochlear, glosso-pharyngeal, vagus, accessory, and hypoglossal. They each have there own functions.
This relates to everyday living for people who have a disorder or disease relating to the nervous system. For example, someone who has Parkinson's disease or Paralysis.
