Anatomy Flashcards
Olfactory nerve
CN1
Olfactory nerve Passes where?
Through the Cribiform plate to go to olfactory bulb
Optic Nerve
CNII
Oculomotor nerve
cranial nerve CNIII
Oculomotor nerve originates…?
from the oculomotor nucleus and the Edinger-Westphal nucleus within the midbrain of the brainstem.
Oculomotor nerve Passes through… to reach where?
It passes through the cavernous sinus and proceeds through the supraorbital fissure to reach the orbit of the eye
Trochlear Nerve
CNIV
Superior oblique muscle Innervated by what?
Trochlear nerve, cranial nerve IV
______ is the only cranial nerve to exit from the posterior midbrain
Trochlear nerve,
The ______ (IV) nerve moves along the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus before entering the __________ via ______
(Trochlear) -Orbit of the eye via the superior orbital fissure.
Three branchess of Trigeminal nerve are…
ophthalmic (V1), maxillary (V2), and mandibular (V3) nerves.
Ophthalmic nerve (V1), Travles….
passes forward in the lateral wall to the cavernous sinus. It then enters the orbit via the superior orbital fissure * Branch of Trigeminal Nerve V
Maxillary Nerve.(V2) (From..) trigeminal ganglion, Leaves the skull through ?
Foramen rotundum
The mandibular nerve (V3) exits the skull base through
Foramen ovale.
Of the 3 branches of Trigeminal (CN?) Which ones are sensory and Which are motor?
V3 is the only branch which contains both sensory and motor components
The Opthalmic (V1) and Maxillary (V2) nerves contain only sensory fibres.
The motor root of the mandibular nerve innervates the four muscles of mastication.. What are these?
Masseter,
Temporalis muscle,
The lateral pterygoids and
The medial pterygoids.
Dorello’s canal is assocaited with which nerver?
abducens nerve (VI)
Abducens Nerve pathway?
Into Cavernous sinus through superior orbital fissure and into orbit
Lateral Rectus muscle is associated with which CN?
Abducent
Fascial nerve branches?
Frontal (temporal)
Zygomatic
Buccal
Marginal mandibular
Cervical
Vertigo, nystagmus, tinnitus, and sensorineural hearing loss may occur with damage to what
Vestibulocochlear CN VIII
Vestibulocochlear nerve exits skull ..
Internal acoustic meatus
Vestibulocochlear nerve PATHWAY
emerges from the brain at the cerebellopontine angle and exits the cranium via the internal acoustic meatus of the temporal bone
Glossopharyngeal nerve originates in the _____ and Exits through…
medulla oblongata of the brain
Jugular foramen.
