37
Q

Spinal of V is similar to…

A

N. Proprius

38
Q

Mesencephalic N. is similar to…

A

Dorsal root ganglian (sucked into brainstem)

39
Q

The spinal nucleus receives info about…

A

Pain

40
Q

The main sensory nucleus receives info about…

A

Touch and jaw position

41
Q

What makes up the facial colliculus?

A

This bump is formed as a result of CN VII coursing over CN VI

42
Q

Affect of unilateral corticobulbar damage.

A

Upper motor neurons

Will spare the upper face on affected side because the facial motor neurons in the facial motor nucleus receive bilateral corticobulbar input. The lower face receives unilateral corticobulbar input only.

43
Q

What happens if the VII nucleus or nerve is destroyed?

A

You have killed the final common pathway or lower motor neurons and total paralysis will occur on the affected side.

44
Q

What’s unique about the path of the facial nerve?

A

Comes out of facial motor nucleus and loops around the abducens nucleus.

45
Q

Sulcus limitans

A

separates sensory nuclei from motor nuclei (motor-medial, sensory-lateral)

46
Q

Lump on back of thalamus that helps with vision

A

Lateral geniculus

47
Q

“Cheerio”

A

Nuc. Solitarius. The tract is in the center of the nucleus.

48

Alar is affliated with…

A

MOTOR

SENSORY

49
Q

A

Lateral lemniscus=tee

Inferior colliculus= golf ball

50
Q
