A

Both (party from neural crest, partly from placodes)

28
Q

T/F: It’s common for some propioceptive fibers in CNs to have cell bodies in midbrain, rather than in sensory ganglion.

A

False - rare exception in CN V

29
Q

Motor ganglia in H/N can be classified according to their (X). List these categories.

A

X = location;

  1. Paravertebral
  2. Terminal
  3. Parasympathetic motor ganglia
30

31
Q

Preganglionic sympathetic outflow to head/neck primarily from neurons located in:

A

T1-T5 SC segments

32
Q

Preganglionic sympathetic outflow to head/neck travel via (X) and synapse on (Y).

A 
X = white rami communicantes (then up sympathetic chain)
Y = Superior, middle, inferior cervical sympathetic ganglia
33
Q

Post-ganglionic sympathetic axons to head/neck can be distributed as:

A
  1. Cervical spinal nerves
  2. Branches to some CNs and meninges
  3. Branches to cervical viscera and heart
  4. Plexuses on arteries (carotid, subclavian, vertebral)
34
Q

True “terminal” parasympathetic ganglion cells occur in:

A

Tongue, trachea, larynx, lower esophagus

35
Q

Parasympathetic motor innervation of head/neck: Where are the preganglionic cell bodies?

A

36
Q

Parasympathetic motor innervation of head/neck: What do the preganglionic axons travel in?

A

CN 3, 7, 9, 10

37
Q

General sensation in head/neck is carried by (X) fibers from (Y) structures by (Z) nerves.

A 
X = GSA
Y = viscera
Z = CN 9 and 10
40
Q

General sensation is (well/poorly) localized.

41
Q

(X) neuron modalities mediate interoception.

42
Q

43
Q

GVA fibers can carry which type of sensory information? Next to each type, include if it retraces path followed by sympathetic/parasympathetic fibers. Star those that reach level of consciousness.

A
  1. Pain info (sympathetic)*

2. Physiological reflexes (parasympathetic)
