aud pathways Flashcards
Where does CN VIII divide into acending and descending branches?
pontomedullary junction
ascending branch of CN VIII synapses where?
anterior ventral cochlear nucleus
descendng branch of CN VIII synapses where?
posterior ventral cochlear nucleus
dorsal cochlear nucleus
where is monaural information routed to?
contralateral side
what is the pathway of monaural tracts?
dorsal cochear nucleus to contralateral via doral acoustic stria to up the lateral lemniscus (nuclei of lateral lemniscus) to inferior colliculus to brachium of inferior colliculus to medial geniculate nucleus (synapse here)
where do cell bodies in medial geniculate nucleus synapse?
Layer IV of primary auditory cortex
Heschl’s gyrus
describe the pathway of binaural pathway
from ventral cochlear nuclei to trapezoid body to superior olivary complex (lateral and medial) to up the lateral lemniscus (nuclei) to inferior colliculus to up brachium of inferior colliculus to medial geniculate nucleus to layer IV primary auditory cortex
what is conduction deafness?
deficiy related to obstructed,altered sound through tempanic membrane or ossicle chao
what is sensorineural deafness?
damage to cochlea,cochlear VIII to cochlear nucei
what is central deafness?
damage to central pathways
where supplies blood to auditory nuclei of pons and medulla, cochea?
basilar a
what supplie blood to inner ear and cochlea?
labyrynthine from AICA
what happens if AICA is occluded?
monaural hearing loss
can also damage facial nerve, ipsilateral facial paralysis, inability to look to side of lesion
what supplies blood to superior olivary complex and lateral lemniscus?
short circumferental branches of basilar
what supplies blood to inferior colliculus?
superior cerebellar and quadrigeminal arteries?
