For treatment of later outbreaks of genital herpes, after the first infection, the acyclovir dosage is 200 mg five times a day (about every four hours) for five days, starting at the first signs of an outbreak. The earlier the medication is started, the better it works.
They connect receptors to the central nervous system and also connect one part of the nervous system to another, for example in the brain and spinal cord. They also carry impulses from the nervous system to effector organs, such as muscles and glands. When neurons are stimulated they transmit an electrical impulse.
2-6. THE CRANIAL NERVES a. Olfactory Nerve (I). (1) Sensory nerve. (2) Transmits smell impulses from receptors in the nasal mucosa to the brain. b. Optic Nerve (II). (1) Sensory nerve. (2) Transmits visual impulses from the eye to the brain. c. Oculomotor Nerve (III). (1) Motor nerve. (2) Contracts the eyeball muscles. d. Trochlear Nerve (IV). (1) Motor nerve. (2) Contracts the eyeball muscles. e. Trigeminal Nerve (V). (1) Mixed nerve. (2) Transmits pain, touch, and temperature impulses from the face and head to the brain (sensory function). (3) Contracts the muscles of chewing (motor function). f. Abducens Nerve (VI). (1) Motor nerve. (2) Contracts eyeball muscles. g. Facial Nerve (VII). (1) Mixed nerve. (2) Transmits taste impulses from the tongue to the brain (sensory function). (3) Contracts the muscles of facial expression and stimulates secretion of salivary and lacrimal glands (motor function).
