IX , X, XII
What CN are medially located ?
III, VI, XII

Damages to the brainstem cause what type of deficit
Ipsilateral
What does the solitary nucleus relay
visceral organs
gag reflex , tast, cough reflex
Nucleus ambiguus relays information from which CN?
innvervatoin from IX &X`
Corticobulbar UMN have how many descents?
2 bilateral innervation
What are the difference in corticobulbar tract of VII?
upper face gets bilateral innervation
lower face get contralateral drive
What are the lesion of CN VII?
supranuclear: within the cortex
nuclear: within brainstem (other deficits seen)
peripheral lesion: total loss without other CN deficits
What is the normal hearing function?
Air conduction is greater than bone conduction
Where is high pitched sounds heard in the cochlea?
base
Where is low pitch sounds heard in the cochlea ?
apax
Prebycusis
loss of hair cells at the base of the cochlea–> high pitched hearing loss
What structures of the ear help linear movement ?
utricle and saccule : maculae
