can you give me a cranial nerve and the number, structure it controls,1 disease/malfunction associated with?

Let's take a simple one... cranial nerve number 1, the olfactory.  It controls the sense of smell.  One could have a malfuction from a brain tumor or skull fracture, for example, either of which could cause a loss of the sense of smell.

Bell's palsy usually is indicated by complete paralysis of all of the branches of the facial nerve.  Therefore, it includes not just a drooping around the mouth, but also the inability to close the affected eye or wrinkle the forehead.  With a stroke, usually only the lower half of the face is affected.  The two conditions are not related and are caused by totally different factors.  Furthermore, if you have any symptoms in the arm or leg in terms of weakness or numbness, this is NOT related to Bell's Palsy.  \n\nHowever, your blood pressure is signicantly high and your physician should be made aware of this (if he is not already). If there is any doubt in your mind, get to the emergency room as safely as possible or have your physician paged right away.  If it is a stroke, your best chances for recovery occur if you seek care within the first 90 minutes of the onset of your symptoms.\n\nAfter reading your update: You definetely are having symptoms that are not related to Bell's palsy.  This is nothing to second guess about...see someone right away.

Your brain is divided into six major divisions:  the cerebrum, the diencephalon (where the hypothalamus is located), the mid brain, the cerebellum, the pons and the medulla oblongata.  \n\nThe hypothalamus is the center for homeostasis and controls things like hunger, thirst, maintaining body temperature and the control of some reproductive system functions.\n\nThe medulla oblongata is where the spinal cord transitions into the brain.  It is part of the brain stem.  It's job is the control of non-voluntary functions and it also brings sensory information into the brain and helps the cerebral cortex relay information to the spinal cord.\n\nHope this helps...

I don't know if you'll understand this but here goes:\n\nNeurological Surgery is a discipline of medicine and that specialty of surgery which provides the operative and nonoperative management (ie, prevention, diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, critical care, and rehabilitation) of disorders of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, including their supporting structures and vascular supply; the evaluation and treatment of pathological processes that modify the function or activity of the nervous system, including the hypophysis: and the operative and nonoperative management of pain. As such, neurological surgery encompasses the surgical, nonsurgical and stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of adult and pediatric patients with disorders of the nervous system: disorders of the brain, meninges, skull base, and their blood supply, including the surgical and endovascular treatment of disorders of the intracranial and extracranial vasculature supplying the brain and spinal cord; disorders of the pituitary gland; disorders of the spinal cord, meninges, and vertebral column, including those that may require treatment by fusion, instrumentation,or endovascular techniques; and disorders of the cranial and spinal nerves throughout their distribution." \n\nGood luck

Def: chronic disease of the central nervous system, in which there is destruction of myelin (covering of the nerves) and nerves axon within several regions of the brain and spinal cord at different times ( episodic and progressive)\nSigns & Symptoms:\nParesthesia (numbness & tiggling) in different places\nDouble vision, blurred vision, dimness vision and sometimes partial or total blidness\nweakness in the extremities\nMuscle paralysis\ntremors\nGait disturbance (walking weird)\nSpasticity \nDifficulty controlling your bladder\nConstipation (a common problem)\nVertigo\nEmotional Disturbance (anger, irrational behavior, deprssion)\nPatient seem to get tired all the time.\nCheck everything you can, read, look it up on the web if you can, prepare yourself, take everything in, and always question the Dr. i know the know it ALL, but at times they can MISDIAGNOSE\ngood luck, & good health to you

Spinal cord\nPeripheral nerves\n\nThere are many peripheral nerves, and many subdivisions in the brain, too. Too many to list, since they cover every inch of your body and every organ system as well.

get a referral to see a neurologist and have the relevant cranial nerves tested.  seems like they have been affected.  Only your neurologist can answer your questions.

Just an overview.\nthere are nerves that are attached to the muscles.\nSome also are controlled by hormones. The nervous system signals to the glands to secrete hormones. \n\nJust remember that the nervous system has major divisions: the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic), peripheral nervous student (nerves). Those nerves are all spread out through our body. Always remember that those divisions of the nervous system communicate with each other.\n\nYou must really read books to know. I can't place all the details here.

1. Impulse\n2. Dendrites, axon, and cell body\n3. Has nucleus that controls the cell\n4. Transmit impulse to cell body\n5. Carry impulse from one cell body to another\n6. The myelin sheath provides protection for the long and delicate axon and allows the impulse to travel faster by "jumping" from one Schwann Cell to another instead of travelling along the entire axon\n7. Synapse\n\nHope i was helpful!

Depends on what do you consider as a part. You will have to be specific.\n\nHere are some facts you might be interested in -\n\nsmallest bone - Stirrup (Stapes) bone in the ear.\nsmallest muscle - stapedius muscle in the ear.\nsmallest gland - pineal gland

1. Nerve anatomy: nerves are axons of a neuron, enclosed by myelin, and are part of the peripheral nervous system. Afferent nerves carry sensory information from the body to the dorsak root ganglia of the spinal cord and then to the brain (although cranial nerves go directly to the brain). Efferent nerves carry motor information from the brain to the body (muscles) to contract or relax. \n\n2. Reflex architecture: reflex arc. Sensory info (i.e. pressure) activates specialized sense receptors-->sends afferent signal to dorsal root ganglia of spinal cord-->sends info to interneuron-->sends info to ventral root-->sends efferent info to muscle-->muscle contracts (or relaxes, muscles work in pairs).\n\n3. Embryo forebrain-->telencephalon (cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, and limbic system). Midbrain-->Mesencephalon (thalamus, hypothalamus). Hindbrain-->metencephalon (cerebellum and pons) and myelencephalon (medulla oblongata).\n\n4. Functions of what?\n\n5. Hearing: consists of outer, middle, and inner ear. Outer ear is ear canal, middle ear is the ear drum and 3 smallest bones in body (hammer, anvil and stirrup), inner ear is the cochlea. Sound waves travel through the canal, cause the ear drum to vibrate, which moves the 3 bones, which causes the fluid in the cochlea to move, which activates the hair cells (receptors) that send infor to the auditory cortex in the brain.\nVision: from the outer eye to inner eye, you have cornea, iris, pupil, lens, vitreous humor, and the retina (which has the receptors). Within the retina, you have photoreceptors, bipolar cells, ganglion cells, and amacrine cells. Photoreceptors are rods (light) and cones (color). From the ganglion cells, information gets sent to the primary visual cortex in the brain.\n\n6. The spinal cord is long tube protected by vertebral column. It has white matter (axons or nerves from above definition) on the outside and gray matter (cell bodies) on the inside. The gray matter kind of looks like a butterfly in the spinal cord.\n\n7. Cerebellum: coordinated movement\nThalamus: sensory relay station\nCerebrum: divided into 4 sensory lobes, performs several higher functions such as language, emotion, and memory.\nHypothalamus: controls autonomic nervous system and endocrine systems (4 F's: fighting, feeding, fleeing, and mating...)\nMedulla: controls vital functions (cardiovascular, respiration, and skeletal muscle tone).
