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
