Anatomy: Brain and Cranial Nerves Flashcards
name this part
subarachnoid space
name the regions
which of the following is correct for nerve modalaties:
CN IX
somatic sensory
somatic motor
special sensory
mixed
parasympathetic
Mixed (s motor, s sensory, special sensory, parasympathetic)
Leaves cranial cavity via jugular foramen
Sensory function: innervates oropharynx, carotid body and sinus, posterior 1/3 of tongue, middle ear cavity
Special sensory function: provides taste sensation to the posterior 1/3 of tongue
Parasympathetic function: of parotid gland
Motor function: innervation of the pharynx
which of the following is correct for nerve modalaties:
CN IV
somatic sensory
somatic motor
special sensory
mixed
parasympathetic
somatic motor
Leaves cranial cavity via superior orbital fissure
(function: movement of eye)
what is the middle layer of the meninges called
arachnoid mater
what is the function of the pia mater
coats the brain and blood vessels
(nerves entering and leaving the brain)
identify the cranial nerve
facial nerve
CN VII
identify the cranial nerve
Optic nerve
CN II
name the marked features
3rd ventricle
4th ventricle
spinal canal filled with CSF
whats the difference between sensory and special sensory
Special senses detect the sensations of taste, smell, hearing, equilibrium, and sight, and are linked to a specific organ (sight = eyes)
name this part of the sinus
confluence of sinuses
what is the function of arachnoid mater
arachnoid mater contains arachonid granulation, which reabsorb spinal fluid
in which lobe would you expect to find visual processing
occipital lobe
what artery branches of the basilar artery, before the basilar artery diverge to form the communicating artery,
right and left posterior cerebral artery
what is produced in the 1 and 2 ventricles
cerebral spinal fluid
how do sympathetic nerve fibres reach the orbit.
by following arteries, especially the internal carotid artery
name the foramens present in the middle cranial fossa
- Optic canal
- Superior orbital fissure
- Foramen rotundum
- Foramen ovale
- Foramen spinosum
- Carotid canal
identify the marked structures
red = optic chiasma
blue = pituitary stalk
where does venous blood from here drain to
superior sagital sinus
which of the following is correct for nerve modalaties:
CN XII
somatic sensory
somatic motor
special sensory
mixed
parasympathetic
motor
Leaves cranial cavity via the hypoglossal canal,
motor function of the tongue.
describe what is happening in the image
as the sinus makes its way down inferiorly, it passes through the jugular foramen.
once passed it becomes the right internal jugular vein
identify the cranial nerve
olfactory
CNI
which cranial nerve passes through the purple structure
Olfactory nerve
when the two lyers of the dura matter seperate, what do they form
dural venous sinuses
the abducent nerve innervates which eye muscle
lateral rectus
the right and left vertebral artery merge to form what artery
basilar artery
name this sinus
straight sinus
the dura mater consists of two layers, what are they called
periosteal layer and the meningeal layer
which artery is present between the layers of the dura mater
middle meningeal artery
which of the following is correct for nerve modalaties:
CN VII
somatic sensory
somatic motor
special sensory
mixed
parasympathetic
(s motor, s sensory, special sensory, parasympathetic).
Leaves cranial cavity via the internal acoustic meatus > enters facial canal before leaving through stylomastoid foramen
Motor function: innervates the muscles of facial expression
Sensory function: small area of the concha of the auricle
Special sensory: taste anterior 2/3 of tongue
Parasympathetic: glands, submandibular and sublingual
identify the cranial nerve
abducent nerve
CN VI
which of the following is correct for nerve modalaties:
CN II
somatic sensory
somatic motor
special sensory
mixed
parasympathetic
Special sensory
(function sight)
leaves cranial cavity via optic canal
which artery supplies the anterior side of the brain
right/left anterior cerebral artery
