15 JULY Flashcards
brainstem:
1-2
midbrain
3-4
pons
5-8
medulla
9-12
overall four fx of the cranial nerves
motor innervation
somatosensory
special senses
parasympathetic control
corticobrainstem trarct
crosses midline
corticobrainstem tract always present
ipslaterally
so CN always present
ipslaterally
CN are also called
corticobulbr
corticobrainstem tract are defined as two things
peripheral sensory
LMN
CN I:
olfactory nerve
olfacotry has what tract
insular cortex amygdala paranippocranial gyrus
dsyfx of CN I
olfactory
- losses sense of smell
overall how can CNs get damaged
- MVA : get sheered
- concussion if big enough
- surgery
pt with CN I dsfx complain of
their food not tasting the same
CN II:
optic nerve
the optic nerve def:
bundle of axons in the retina: retina ganlgia cells
optic nerve tract goes from
retina to the X
dsyfx of CN II ;
optic : visual acuity - sight
why is the CN V: trigeminal so BIG?
because it has a high density of fine disciminative sensation
list the cranial nerves of extraocular Mm
III: oculomotor
IV: trochlear
VI: abducens
CN III?
oculomotor
CN IV?
trochlear
CN VI?
ABducens
CN V?
trigeminal
trochelar does what?
IV - turns eyes toward the tip of the nose : down and in
ABducens does what?
VI - turns eyes straight to the side: ABduct in straight plane
oculomotor does what?
III - turns eyes everywhere else that wasn’t mentioned in IV or VI
Trigeminal affects what sensory modalities
- discriminative touch
- proprioception
- disc. pain
- divergent pain
CN V heads in what direction
in (trigeminal)
CN VII: heads in what direction
out (facial)
the difference in function for clearing out the eyes in CN V / VII
CN V: sense an irritant
CN VII: gets rid of the irritant
CN V: trigeminal feeds what area of the body
just kenny’s face
so the anterior portion of your face
if you poke a pt’s eye and there is no response but they can blink with voluntary control this means that
CN V: trigeminal is broken
if a pt doesn’t have voluntary control of closing eye lid then that means
CN VII: facial is broken
how do you test CN VII:
make faces = facial expressions
CN V also does what motor function?
massetication :
- chewing and talking
CN VII?
facial nerve
