14: CN 3, 4, 6 Flashcards
cn 3
occulomotor
cn 4
trochlear
cn 6
abducens
brain stem nuclei that control reflex eye movements
Paramedian reticular formation
vestibular nuclei
eye movement nuclei in the midbrain just ventral to the superior and inferior colliculus respectively
III and IV
CN nucleus in the caudal 1/2 of the pons
abducent (VI)
how many muscles does CN III control
5-therefore 5 diff nuclei
-edinger westphal fibers run IN III but are considered separate nucleus
funciton so EW nucleus
PANS supply to the constrictor muscles of the iris as well as the accomodation reflex
name the 5 nuclei for the CN ii nucleus
doral intermediate medial ventral central caudal
dorsal nucleus m
inferior rectus
intermediate nucleus
inferior oblique
medial nucleus
superior rectus
ventral nucleus
medial rectus
central caudal nucleus
levator palpebre superioris
motor muscles innervated by CN II
SR, MR, IR, IO, LPS
trochlear nerve m
superior obliqe
abducent
lateral recutr
facial colliculus
where CN VII sends its fibers over CN VI-creating a bump on the caudal pons dorsally
bilateral nuclei in CN III
*rest are ipsilateral except medial nucleus
central caudal
edinger westphal
contraltera nucleus
medial-contralat. superior rectus
only CN that exits brainstem dorsally
CN IV-just caudl to the inferior colliculus
CN iv
contralateral superior oblique
two contralaterally controlled eye muscles
Superior oblique, superior rectus
trochlear-also only one that exits dorsally
medial nucleus of the occulomotor nucleus-
trace the path of CN III
*highly subject to compression
passes between the posterior cerebral and superior cerebellar arteries, then along PCOM, and uncer ICA
