Anatomy: Intro to Cranial Nerves Flashcards

1
Q

CN I

A
  • Olfactory Nerve
  • sensory- sense of smell
  • Runs from the nasal mucosa (roof of nasal cavity along medial side of superior nasal concha
  • Olfactory Organ - collection of epithelium
  • Coalesce into filia olfactoria (olfactory fibers; these are the actual CN I)- these pass through cirbiform foramina
  • Synapse on mitral cells in the bulb, project to forebrain via olfactory tract

Q

Olfactory bulb and tract are part of what?

A

The brain, they are not actually the cranial nerve. The filia olfactoria are the nerves, which pass through the cribiform foramina and converge on bulb.

Q

CN II

A
  1. Function- sensory for vision, various reflexes
  2. Course- ganglion cell fibers from retina join to form optic nerve, through optic canals and meet at optic chiasma, medial fibers dessucate, then to **Lateral Geniculate Nucleus of Thalamus **

Q

Mandibular Nerve

A

**Sensory ** to parts of face, temporomandibular joint, mandibular teeth, tongue (ant. 2/3), mouth, and dura

**motor ** to mm of mastication and others in first pharyngeal arch

passes through foramen ovale

standing room only- ovale

17
Q

CN VI

A
  1. **Abduncent Nerve **
  2. Motor to **Lateral Rectus Muscle **
  3. Projects from Pons (Abducens Nucleus)
  4. passes through dura covering cilvus inside cavernous sinus then through superior orbital fissure
18
Q

CN VII

A
  1. Facial Nerve
  2. Mixed and Parasympathetic
  3. Projects from **Pons **, through internal acoustic meatus, petrous part of temporal bone
  4. Forms geniculate ganglion (sensory neurons)
  5. Motor to Facial Exp. mm, 2nd pharyngeal arch
  6. sensory- anterior 2/3 of tongue
  7. parasympathetic inn to lacrimal, sublingual, submandibular

FORECASTING: The
facial nerve gives off
chordae typmani, which
merges with lingual n. to
provide parasympathetic
fibers to the submandibular
ganglion to stimulate
secretion of the sublingual
and submandibular glands
for salivation.

CN II Course

A

Q

CN III

A
  1. Oculomotor N.
  2. Extraocular mm.- move eyeball and lift eyelid (Visceromotor, Parasympathetic)
  3. Preganglionic parasym. to ciliary ganglion
  4. postgang. sympathetic to superior tarsal mm
  5. passes through Superior Orbital Fissure
  6. innervates 4 of 6 extraocular mm
  7. Nuclei in Midbrain (Mesencephalon)

Superior tarsal mm is smooth muscle that joins Levator Palpebrae Superior and keep the eyelid open.

21

A
  1. Vestibulocochlear Nerve
  2. sensory- hearing (cochlear n.) and balance (vestibular n.)
  3. through internal acoustic meatus
  4. projects to 4 vestibular nuclei and 2 auditory nuclei in pons
22
Q

CN IX

A
  1. Glossopharyngeal Nerve
  2. Mixed and parasypathetic
  3. Interfaces with Medulla (brainstem)
  4. Passes through **jugular foramen **

  1. Provides:
    a. Motor innervation to the stylopharyngeus muscle derived from the 3rd pharyngeal arch
    b. Parasympathetic secretomotor to parotid gland (remember it used auriculotemporal n.)
    c. Sensory for taste on posterior 1/3 of the tongue
    d. Sensory innervation from parts of oral cavity and middle ear
    e. Sensory from the chemoreceptors and baroreceptors in the carotid body and sinus (with CN X)
23
Q

CN X

A
  1. Vagus Nerve
  2. Mixed and Parasympathetic
  3. Passes through **Jugular Foramen **
  4. Interfaces with Medulla
    5.

Provides:
a. Motor innervation to muscles from the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches including laryngeal
muscles and some muscles of tongue, palate, and pharynx (thus swallowing function).
b. Parasympathetic innervation to smooth muscle and glands in pharynx, larynx, thoracic
and abdominal viscera.
c. Sensory innervation for taste from epiglottis.
d. General sensory innervation from viscera, larynx, parts of ear, and part of dura in the posterior
cranial fossa.

24
Q

CN XI

A
  1. Accessory Nerve
    2.Arises from upper cervical SC and enters through **Foramen Magnum **
  2. Exits through Jugular Foramen
  3. Motor to Trapezius and SCM
25

  2. Arises from medulla
  3. exits through hypoglossal canal
