Q

Trigeminal (V) Originate and Foremen?

A

It emerges from two roots on the ventrolateral surface of the pons

141
Q

Facial (VII) Originate and Foremen?

A

Axons of branchial motor neurons arise from a nucleus in the pons, pass through the petrous portion of the temporal bone, and innervate facial, scalp, and neck muscles

142
Q

Vestibulocochlear (VIII) Originate and Foremen?

A

the vestibular branch extend from the semicircular canals, the saccule, and the utricle of the inner ear to the vestibular ganglion where their cell bodies are located, and end in vestibular nuclei in the pons

143
Q

Glossopharyngeal (IX) Originate and Foremen?

A

glossopharyngeal nerve arise in nuclei of the medulla and exit the skull through the jugular foramen.

144
Q

Vagus (X) Originate and Foremen?

A

These axons form nerves that join the main vagus trunk and enter the skull through the jugular foramen. They end in the medulla oblongata and pons in various nuclei.

145
Q

Accessory (XI) Originate and Foremen?

A

Its motor axons arise in the anterior gray horn of the first five segments of the cervical portion of the spinal cord. The axons exit these spinal cord segments laterally and unite to ascend along the spinal cord and enter the skull through the foramen magnum

146
Q

Hypoglossal (XII) Originate and Foremen?

A

The somatic motor axons originate in the hypoglossal nucleus in the medulla oblongata, pass through the hypoglossal canal, and supply the muscles of the tongue.
