A

What nerve does the auriculotemporal nerve branch from? CN V3

20
Q

What is the supply of the CN IX?

A

Somatic motor:
To stylopharnygeus

Visceral PS motor:
Presynaptic PS fibres are provided to the otic ganglion for innervation of the paratid gland.

Somatic sensory:
Branches..
-Tympanic nerve (to middle ear, tympanic membrane and mastoid air cell).
-Carotid sinus nerve to the carotid sinus
-The pharyngeal, tonsillar and lingual nerves to the mucosa of the oropharynx, isthmus of the fauces, palatine tonsil, soft palate, posterior 1/3 of tongue

Special sensory (taste)
-From the posterior 1/3 of the tongue to the sensory inferior ganglia of CN IX
21
Q

Parotid gland innervation

A

Tympanic nerve forms plexus that supplies parotid gland with pre-synpatic PS supply from the inferior salivatory nucleus. Exit via lesser petrosal nerve. This then passes through foramen ovale and synapses in otic ganglion.
Postganglionic fibres pass to the auriculotemporal nerve, which sends a brnach to the parotid gland

22
Q

What structures pass through the jugular foramen?

A

Jugular foramen with internal jugular vein, CN IX, X & XI

23
Q

Distribution of the CN X?

A

General sensation from deep auricle & parts of the external acoustic meatus. Also from laryngopharynx and larynx

Taste from vallecula and epiglottis

General visceral sensory afferents from blood vessels (for CVS control), heart, lungs and GI

24
Q

CN X with Cranial XI Distribution?

A

Motor supply to the striated muscles of the pharynx & larynx derived from 4th & 6th pharyngeal arches via Cranial Root of XI
Parasympathetic supply to the heart, lungs & GI tract as far as 2/3 along the transverse colon

25
Q

Defects in which CN affect swallowing & the gag reflex?

A

Defects in CN IX & X affect swallowing & the gag reflex!

26
Q

How is the innervation to the pharynx started?

A

The nerve supply to the pharynx is via the PHARYNGEAL PLEXUS that lies on the external pharyngeal wall (over middle constrictor) & receives branches of CN IX & X as well as cervical sympathetics
The plexus supplies:
-The pharyngeal musculature (plus levator palati, palatopharyngeus & palatoglossus)
-Sensation to the underlying mucous membrane

27
Q

What is the sensory pharyngeal innervation?

A

Oropharynx, palatine tonsil, inferior aspect of soft palate & posterior 1/3 of tongue supplied by CN IX
Note: Referred pain to middle ear

Laryngopharynx, vallecula & epiglottis supplied by CN X

28
Q

What is the motor pharyngeal innervation?

A

Parasympathetic secretomotor by CN X directly & pterygopalatine ganglion (CN VII) via CN V2

Musculature by CN X except stylopharyngeus that is by CN IX

29
Q

What is the efferent and afferent fibres in the swallowing gag reflex?

A

Afferent: CN IX (detects in theOropharynx, palatine tonsil, inferior aspect of soft palate & posterior 1/3 of tongue)

Brainstem nuclei: Nucleus ambiguus

Efferent: CN X (innervates all musculature apart for stylopharyngeus)

30
Q

What is the efferent and afferent fibres in the sneezing and coughing reflexes?

A

Afferent: CN V2
Brainstem nuclei: Nucleus ambiguus
Efferent: CN X and X + Phrenic nerve

31
Q

Course of the CN XII?

A

CN XII emerges from the HYPOGLOSSAL (anterior condylar) CANAL

  1. CN XII descends to the neck passing lateral to the internal & external carotid arteries associated with a loop of cervical nerves that supply the STRAP MUSCLES of the NECK
  2. CN XII enters the oral cavity under the tongue between the mylohyoid & hyoglossus to supply all TONGUE MUSCLES except the palatoglossus that is supplied by CN X via the pharyngeal plexus
32
Q

If CN XII is injury, what is the clinical sign?

A

If CN XII is injured there is ipsilateral tongue weakness with deviation to the side of the lesion

33
Q

What is the tongue innervation?

A

Anterior 2/3 via:
LINGUAL nerve (CN V3 branch) for general SENSATION
Taste from the NERVUS INTERMEDIUS of CN VIII (chorda tympani hitch-hiking with the lingual nerve)

Posterior 1/3 is by:
CN IX for both general sensation & taste

Motor supply to all muscles is by:
CN XII except palatoglossus that is by CN X via the pharyngeal plexus

34
Q

Laryngeal innervation?

A

Internal laryngeal nerve = Sensation to larynx above vocal folds

External laryngeal nerve = Motor to cricothyroid

Recurrent laryngeal nerve = Larynx musculature (apart from cricothyroid) and sensation to larynx below vocal folds

35
Q

CN X sends the ______ laryngeal nerve that passes with the superior thyroid ____ until it divides into internal & external branches

A

CN X sends the superior laryngeal nerve that passes with the superior thyroid artery until it divides into internal & external branches

36
Q

Sensation of the larynx down to just above the vocal folds is by the _____ laryngeal branch that is accompanied by the superior laryngeal artery from the superior ______ artery

A

Sensation of the larynx down to just above the vocal folds is by the internal laryngeal branch that is accompanied by the superior laryngeal artery from the superior thyroid artery

37
Q

Recurrent laryngeal is a branch of the….

A

CN X (vagus)

38
Q

Course of the recurrent laryngeal nerve?

A

The recurrent laryngeal passes inferior to the aortic arch on the left (close to the lung hilum) or the subclavian artery on the right.
Then ascends between the trachea & oesophagus to intermingle with branches of the inferior thyroid artery close to the thyroid gland before entering the larynx

39
Q

Result of complete paralysis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve?

A
  • Vocal fold lying in a semi-abducted position
  • Vocal fold vibrates & respiration is noisy
  • The voice is hoarse but there is compensation by extra movement of
    the opposite fold
40
Q

Result of Partial paralysis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve?

A

Vocal fold moves into the midline & even crosses it

Bilateral partial paralysis is life threatening

41
Q

Result of paralysis of the external laryngeal nerve?

A

May not be noticed or there may be some hoarseness of the voice Recovery is good due to hypertrophy of the opposite cricothyroid
