25
Where are the edinger westphal nucleus and the trochlear nucleus?
Mesencephalon
26
Path of parasymp fibers of CN III
Travel to ciliary ganglion -> post-ganglionics to iris and ciliary M
27
Nerve damage of CN 3
Ptosis, paralysis of eye muscles -> strabismus, diplopia, trouble focusing
28
Nerve damage to CN 4
Superior oblique paralysis -> strabismus, diplopia
29
How does trochlear N get its name?
Means pulley bc it innervates the 1 extrinsic eye muscle that loops through a pulley-shaped ligament
30
GSA portion of the trigeminal N supplies what?
Face and scalp, conjunctiva, bulb of eye, mucous membranes of paranasal sinuses, nasal and oral cavities, external TM, meninges of anterior and middle cranial fossae
31
Origin of CN 5
Pons
32
Nerve damage of CN 5
Trigeminal neuralgia / tic douloureux
33
Tic douloureux symptoms
Intense, pulsating pain lasting minutes to several hours
34
V1 sensory from?
Cornea, nose, forehead, anterior scalp
35
Path for the three divisions of CN 5
V1: superior orbital fissure -> trigeminal ganglion -> pons V2: foramen rotundum -> trigeminal ganglion -> pons V3 branchial motor branches: pons -> foramen ovale -> muscles V3 sensory branches: foramen ovale -> trigeminal ganglion -> pons
36
V2 sensory impulses from where?
Nasal mucosa, palate, gums, cheek
37
V3 sensory impulses from where?
Anterior 2/3 of tongue, cheek sin, lower jaw, over teeth, 1/3 from sensory fibers of auricle of ear
38
Nerve damage to CN 6
Paralysis of lateral rectus -> limits lateral eye movement, diplopia
39
Five major branches of the Facial N
1. Temporal 2. Zygomatic 3. Buccal 4. Mandibular 5. Cervical
40
What does the SVE portion of CN 7 supply?
Stapedius, stylohyoid, posterior belly of digastric, muscles of fascial expression (buccinator, platysma, occipitalis)
41
Sensory fiber path of CN 7
Tongue via chorda tympani branch -> tiny foramen -> geniculate ganglion of facial N
42
Somatic motor fiber path of CN 7
Pons -> internal auditory canal -> temporal bone -> stylomastoid foramen
43
Parasymp motor fiber path of CN 7
Pons -> internal auditory canal -> leaves with great petrosal N or chorda tympani N -> autonomic ganglion -> respective glands
44
Nerve damage to CN 7
Decreased tears and salivation, loss of taste to anterior 2/3 of tongue, facial nerve palsy
45
Facial nerve palsy symptoms
Paralyzed facial muscles, eyelid droop, sagging at corner of mouth
46
Path of CN 8
Vestibular + cochlear branches merge -> enter cranial cavity via internal auditory canal -> pons + medulla junction
47
Lesions in vestibular branch of CN 8
Loss of balance, N/V, dizziness
48
Lesion in cochlear branch of CN 8
Deafness
49
Other name for CN 8 (formerly)

57
Path of CN 10
Jugular foramen -> branches extensively in neck, thorax and abdomen -> sensory neuron cell bodies in superior and inferior ganglia
58
Nerve damage to CN 10
Paralysis -> variety of larynx problems like hoarseness, monotone, complete loss of voice, difficulty swallowing, GI impaired mobility
59
Spinal and cranial roots of CN 11: path
Superior to enter skull through foramen magnum -> >merges with cranial root -> leaves skull via jugular foramen 1. Cranial root: travels with CN 10 2. Spinal root: travels to SCM and trapezius
