  2. Cranial nerve examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerve_examination

    Unilateral loss indicates a possible nerve lesion or deviated septum. This test is usually skipped on a cranial nerve exam. [1] The short axons of the first cranial nerve regenerate on a regular basis. The neurons in the olfactory epithelium have a limited life span, and new cells grow to replace the ones that die off.

  3. Neurological examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurological_examination

    A neurological examination is the assessment of sensory neuron and motor responses, especially reflexes, to determine whether the nervous system is impaired. This typically includes a physical examination and a review of the patient's medical history, [1] but not deeper investigation such as neuroimaging.

  4. Upper limb neurological examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_limb_neurological...

    An upper limb neurological examination is part of the neurological examination, and is used to assess the motor and sensory neurons which supply the upper limbs.This assessment helps to detect any impairment of the nervous system, being used both as a screening and an investigative tool.

  5. Jaw jerk reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaw_jerk_reflex

    The jaw jerk reflex or the masseter reflex is a stretch reflex used to test the status of a patient's trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and to help distinguish an upper cervical cord compression from lesions that are above the foramen magnum.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerves

    Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), of which there are conventionally considered twelve pairs.Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck, including the special senses of vision, taste, smell, and hearing.

    This nerve is involved (together with nerve IX) in the pharyngeal reflex or gag reflex. XI Accessory. Sometimes: cranial accessory, spinal accessory. Mainly motor Cranial and Spinal Roots Located in the jugular foramen. Controls the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles, and overlaps with functions of the vagus nerve (CN X). Symptoms of ...

    The cerebellum provides the motor control that allows people to maintain balance by integrating three types of sensory input: vestibular (inner ear and eight cranial nerves), proprioceptive (peripheral nerves and dorsal columns of the spinal cord), and visual (eyes and second cranial nerves).

  9. List of reflexes - Wikipedia

    Test can indicate both neurological damage and nerve regeneration; often combined with the Babinski reflex test. Jaw jerk reflex Knee jerk or patellar reflex — a kick caused by striking the patellar tendon with a tendon hammer just below the patella, stimulating the L4 and L3 reflex arcs.
