Anatomy and imaging head and neck Flashcards
What is the 1st cranial nerve?
The olfactory nerve
How does cranial 1 enter the skull?
Through the cribriform plate and ethmoid bone
What is the 2nd cranial nerve?
The optic nerve
What is the 3rd cranial nerve?
Occulomotor nerve
What is the deep origin of occulotor nerve?
Motor nucleus: supply extraocular muscles
Parasympathetic nucleus: edinger westphal nucleus (ciliary ganglion)`
How does the 3rd cranial nerve exit the brain?
From the anterior surface of the idbrain in the interpeduncular fossa
What is the 4th cranial nerve?
Trochlear nerve
What is the deep origin of cranial 4?
FRom the trochlear motor nucleus in the lower part of the midbrain (superior oblique muscle)
What is the superficial attachment and exit from brain of cranial 4 nerve?
The nerve appears on the back of midbrain (the right nerve comes from the left nucleus and vice versa)
What is the cranial nerve 6?
Abducent nerve
What is the origin of cranial 6>
Abducent motor nucleus in the pons (lateral rectus muscle)
What is the superficial attachment ad exit from brain?
At the lower border of pons near the midline
What is the 5th nerve?
Trigeminal nerve
Where does nerve 5 arise from?
Lateral aspect of pons by 2 roots (sensory and motor roots)
What are the divisions of the trigeminal nerve and where do they exit from?
1.Opthalamic division exit through superior orbital fissure
2.Maxillary division exit through foramen rotundum
3.Mandibular division exit through foramen oval
What is the 7th cranial nerve?
Facial nerve
What type of nerve is the facial nerve?
mixed (motor, sensory and parasympathetic)
What is the origin of the facial nerve?
Emerges at lower end of pons (pontocerebellar junction)
What does the facial nerve exit through?
Stylomastoid foramen from the skull
What is the origin of the facial nerve?(cranial nerve nuclei)
1.Motor: facial motor nucleus in the pons
2.Parasympathetic: Superior salivary nucleus in the pons
3.Special sensory= taste: Nucleus solitarius in the medulla

Parasympathetic to parotid: Inferior salivary nucleus
What are the sensory branches of cranial nerve IX?
Tonsillar
Lingual
Pharyngeal
Carotid
What type of nerve is cranial nerve X?
Mixed
What is the origin of cranial nerve X?
Motor : Nucleus ambiguus
Parasympathetic: Dorsal nucleus of vagus
Sensory nucleus: Nucleus solitarius
What are the branches of the vagus nerve?
Meningeal branch
Auricular branch
Two cardiac branches
(Motor) pharyngeal branch
Laryngeal branch
What does the pharyngeal branch of cranial nerve X innervate?
Supplies all muscles of pharynx except stylopharyngeus (9th) and all muscles of the soft palate except tensor palati (5th)
What is the course of the Recurrent laryngeal branch?
The right RL hooking around the subclavian artery
The left RL hooking around the arch of aorta
