Q

GVE are components of the ______

A

ANS
autonomic, not sensory
may be parasympathetic or sympathetic

19
Q

ALL GSA fibers

A

trigeminal

20
Q

Sensory nucleus for all sensations from the face

A

trigeminal sensory complex

trigeminal sensory nuclei

21
Q

All GVA and SVA (taste)

A

solitary nucleus (NTS)

22
Q

sensory nucleus for general sensations from the posterior 1?3 of the tongue to the midportion of the transverse colon

A

Solitary nucleus or Nucleus tractus solitarius

23
Q

Clinically if we are concerned with the GVE parasympathetic column, what are we concerned with?

A

pupils
lacrimal gland
submandibular and sublingual glands
parotid gland

24
Q

What nucleus and ganglion are concerned with GVE parasympathetic innervation to ciliary mm of the eye and sphincter pupillae

A

Edinger-Westphal nucleus,

Ciliary ganglion

25
Q

What nucleus and ganglion (2) are concerned with sending parasympathetic fibers to the lacrimal gland and submandibular and sublingual glands?

A
Superior salivatory nucleus
sphenopalatine ganglion (lacrimal)
submandibular ganglion (submandibular and sublingual glands)
26
Q

What nucleus and ganglion are concerned with sending parasympathetics to the partotid gland

A

Inferior salivatory nucleus and otic ganglion

27
Q

What nucleus and ganglia are concerned with sending parasympathetics to the larynx, pharynx, thorax, and abdomen?

A

Dorsal Motor nucleus (X) sending fibers to scattered ganglia (go on to inn various glands and smooth muscles in these regions)

28
Q

Vagus nerve sends parasympathetics

A

from neck to thorax (heart and lungs) to abdomen
vagus has a huge territory
innervates ENDODERM

29
Q

what are the functional components associated with each of the branchial arches that we care about

A

one nerve
one blood vessel

these functional components are related to embryology, they are a genetic connection. Once these associations are made, they are not broken

30
Q

Endoderm =

A

post 1/3 of tong to about 1 inch above the anus.

all the lining stuff

31
Q

ectoderm =

A

skin

32
Q

myotomic =

A

GSE

33
Q

What is the nerve associated with branchial arch 1

what are its sensory and motor components

A

Trigeminal
cheif sensory nerve of the face
mm of mastication (these muscles then are not myotomic, they are branchiomeric)

34
Q

branchiomeric =

A

SVE

35
Q

myotomic muscles vs branchiomeric muscles in the head

A
myotomic= tongue and extraocular muscles (GSE)
branchiomeric= muscles of mastication  (?) and muscles of facial expression? muscles of laynx and pharynx (?)
36
Q

What nerve is associated with branchial arch 2

A

facial nerve

innervates muscles of facial expression

37
Q

What nerve is associated with branchial arch 4?

A

vagus nerve, innervates muscles of the laynx and pharynx

38
Q

what cranial nerves pass through the jugular foramen

A

IX, X, XI

39
Q

Hypoglossal N.
innervates
lesion looks like

A

All muscles of the tongue, except palatoglossal

lesions result in deviation of the protruded tongue TOWARDS AFFECTED SIDE

40
Q

nucleus ambiguous concerned with muscles of

A

the larynx and pharynx

41
Q

Glossopharyngeal nerve
innervation
lesions look like

A

SENSORY, sensory part of gag reflex. sensory to post 1/3 of tongue and pharynx too

loss of gag reflex
slight dysphagia
loss of sensation in pharynx and posterior 1/3 of tongue

42
Q

difficulty swallowing is a big deal because

A

can lead to aspiration pneumonia

43
Q

Vagus nerve - important branches

A

pharyngeal
superior laryngeal (internal and external)
recurrent laryngeal

44
Q

Vagus Nerve
innervates
lesion looks like

A

lots of stuff from head to thorax to abdomen

lesions of pharyngeal, and laryngeals
dysphonia, dysphagia, dyspnea, loss of gag or laryngeal cough reflex
motor part of gag reflex
