Peripheral Nervous System: Case Study
Welcome to the electronic human anatomy and physiology frontier classroom of the 21st century. What is the main function of the Peripheral Nervous System? It is to connect the Central Nervous System (CNS) to the limbs and organs, essentially serving as a communication relay going back and forth between the brain and spinal cord with the rest of the body. You are the attending physician on duty as a patient enters the clinic. You need to access the science website: Mitchell's Cosmic Adventure. Com. There you will find Case Study – Patient Medical History Read moreGoogle Document file along with this test.
I strongly suggest you read the P. M. H. File and you may have to do outside research to help your patient in their recovery. The test has a setting of T. E. M. (Test Exam Mode). This mode won’t reveal any answers during the testing period. As you complete the test, a report and certificate is printed in a clear format. GOOD LUCK!

Branches from the Trigeminal nerve (IV)
- D.
Cells of the midbrain
- E.
Branches from the Trochlear nerve (V)

A. Nucleus in lower part of ponsExplanation
The facial nerve (VII) originates from the nucleus in the lower part of the pons. The pons is a part of the brainstem that connects the cerebral cortex with the medulla oblongata. The facial nerve controls the muscles of facial expression and also carries sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Its origin in the pons allows it to receive signals from higher brain centers and send motor commands to the facial muscles.Rate this question:
