Q
  1. Name the four routes for postganglionic sympathetic innervation of the head.
  2. What routes do they take?
  3. What is innervated by each of these routes?
A

All sympathetic fibers are postganglionic and arise from the superior cervical ganglion of the sympathetic trunk. Then can then go to:

  1. External carotid artery plexus to provide vasomotor innervation to the parotid gland.
  2. Facial artery plexus to provide vasomotor innervation to the submandibular and sublingual glands.
  3. Internal carotid plexus and either:
    • Become the deep petrosal nerve, which goins the greater petrousal n -> which runs along the facial nerve to get to the pterygoid canal -> becoming the nerve of the pterygoid canal and innervating the blood vessels and sweat glands of the nose
    • Move towards the eye to provide pupillary dilation and accomadation.

Q

What are the symptoms and anatomic correlations of Horner syndrome?

A

Horner syndrome is a lack of sympathetic innervation to same side of the face. It results in PAM: Ptosis, Anhydrosis, Miosis of same side of injury.

PAM Horner is very sympathetic.

Q

What branches of the opthalmic branch (V1) of the trigeminal nerves (CNV) piggyback postganglionic parasympathetics?

A
  1. Lacrimal branch, which carries postganglionic parasympathetics to the lacrimal gland.
  2. Short Ciliary branch, which carries postganglionic parasympathetics to the ciliary muscles of the eye and constrictor pupilae.

Q

Does the trigeminal N synapse in the 4 ganglia of the head?

A

No.

Trigeminal nerve (CN V) sends its somatic sensory nerve fibers through (not synapsing in) the 4 ganglia of the head and to their terminal locations

Q

What is the parasympathetic contribution of the oculomotor nerve?

A
  1. Parasympathetic fibers from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus
  2. -> through the ciliary ganglion,
  3. -> into the constrictor pupilae and ciliary muscles of the eye.
17

  4. Chorda tympanic crosses tympanic cavity medial to handle of malleus/
  5. Goes through petrotympanic fissure where it joins lingual n (CN V3) in the infratemporal fossa.
  6. Synapses at the submandibular ganglion
  7. Postsynaptic fibers follow arteries to the submandibular and sublingual salivary gland.
