Brainstem and CN III, IV, VI Flashcards
abducens nerve
lateral rectus
trochlear nerve
superior oblique
oculomotor nerve
medial rectus
superior rectus
inferior rectus
inferior oblique
axons of VII
loop around nucleus for CN VI (abducens)
CN VI exits skull
superior orbital fissure
CN VI innervates
ipsilateral lateral rectus
lesion to abducens
ipsilateral loss of lateral rectus
ALSO:
facial motor nuclei has bend around the abducens
-therefore, ipsilateral facial nerve deficits
trochlear nerve
axons exit dorsal
**only one doing this
-LMNs decussate**
do trochlear nerve decussate
yes
LMN do decussate
trochlear nerve innervation
contralateral superior oblique mm.
oculomotor
extraocular mm
levator palpebrae superioris
PS supply to iris and ciliary mm
pupil constriction
parasympathetic
protect from light AND increase acuity
pupil dilation
sympathetic
course of oculomotor nerve
goes out interpeduncular fossa
IPSILATERAL
interpeduncular fossa nerve
oculomotor
edinger westphal nucleus
preganglionic PS
-terminate in ciliary ganglion
pupil reflex
afferent - CN II to bilateral pretectal nuclei
posterior commisure to edinger westphal
efferent - CN III out to pupillary sphincter
why do we need an accurate visual system
- phototransduction slow
- fovea is small
need to foveate objects
-keep them from moving across too quickly
-also, have binocular, so need to coordinate both eyes together
alignment of eyes requires
- move both eyes same direction (conjugate)
- move objects opposite direction (vergence)
conjugate movement
eyes same direction
vergence movement
eyes opposite direction
voluntary movements involve?
UMNs - in cortex
-to basal ganglia and cerebellum
LMNs - to CN III, IV, VI
-no direct corticobulbar innervation
