Where does the CN III exist the cranial cavity?
Superior orbital fissure
Where in the brain is the vomiting center?
Medulla
What arteries supply the medulla?
- Vertebral artery
- Anterior spinal artery
- PICA
What lobes do the Lateral Sulcus (Sylvian Fissure) separates?
Frontal and Temporal
What is the function of CN VI (ABDUCENS)?

What arteries supply the thalamus?
- ACA
- Posterior communicating artery
Which nerves pass in the Cavernous sinus?
- CN III
- CN IV
- CN V: V1 + V2
- CN VI
What is the function of CN V (TRIGEMINAL)?
Mastication and facial sensation (sensory and motor)
What is the function of CN I (OLFACTORY)?
Smell (sensory)
Where does the CN VIII exist the cranial cavity?
Internal auditory canal
Where is the nucleus of CN VII?
In the pons
What arteries supply the mibrain?
- Basilar
- Superior cerebellar
- Posterior cerebral
What are the vocal cords?
- True vocal cords: vocal ligaments (the margins of the crico-thyroid ligament)
- False vocal cords: vestibular ligaments (the margins of quadrangular membrane)
What are the soft palate muscles?
- Levator veli palatini
- Tensor veli palatini (innervated by V3)
- Palatopharyngeus
What is the function of CN X (VAGUS)?
Taste from supraglottic region, swallowing, soft palate elevation, talking and cough reflex (sensory, motor, sympathetic and parasympathetic)
Where does the CN X exist the cranial cavity?
Jugular foramen
What nerves are involved in deglutition?
- SENSORY: V, IX, X
- MOTOR: V, VII, IX, XII, C1
Where does the CN VII exist the cranial cavity?
Internal auditory canal

In the midbrain
What are the functions of the temporal lobe?
- Hearing
- Language comprehension (Wernicke)
- Memory (hippocampus)
- Emotion (limbic system)
Which CN is from the medulla?

How do lesions of brainstem manifest?
- Alteration of consciousness
- Cranial Nerve findings
- “Crossed” face and body findings
- Lesion of a cranial nerve will cause ipsilateral findings
- Lesion of a tract in the brainstem will cause contralateral findings

What are the meninges?
- The pia mater is thin, transparent, and really not visible on gross inspection
- Subarachnoid space
- The arachnoid mater is visible as a thin, semi-transparent covering
- Sudural space
- The dura is the much thicker, outer layer that has the consistency of leather
- Epidural space
What is the pathway of CFS?
Choroid plexus
–> Intraventricular foramen of Monroe
–> Third ventricle
–> Cerebral aqueduct of Sylvius
–> Fourth ventricle
–> Foramenae of Megendi (midline) and Luschka (lateral)
–> Sub-arachnoid space
–> Arachnoid villi
–> Venous sinuses
What are the 3 cerebellar peduncles and their connections?
- Superior cerebellar peduncle to thalamus
- Middle cerebellar peduncle from cortex
- Inferior cerebellar peduncle from spinal cord, vestibular nuclei
Submandibular ganglion contains what nerve fibers?
