CN III VII IX X Flashcards
Somatic NS Neurons
1 somatic sensory neuron (from sensory receptor in skin)
1 somatic motor neuron (from brain stem to skeletal muscle)
Autonomic NS neurons
1 visceral sensory neuron (from viscera of organ to brainstem, unipolar so theres a ganglion but no synapse)
2 Autonomic motor neurons (from brainstem to autonomic ganglion to target, Pre and post ganglion)
Parasympathetic CN, ganglionic neurons, target
- CNIII–> Ciliary–> Intrinsic eye muscles
- CN VII–> Pterygopalatine and submandibular ganglia–> Nasal glands, tear, and salivary glands
- CN IX–> Otic ganglion–> Parotid salivary gland
- CN X–> Intramural ganglion–> visceral organs of neck

- Function
- Eye muscles
- Medial rectus
- Inferior Rectus
- Superior rectus
- Inferior oblique
- Levator Palpebrae superioris
- Origin
- Oculomotor nucleus
- Path
- Superior orbital fissure of sphenoid
CN III
Autonomic Motor
Function
Origin
- General Visceral Effernt
- Function
- Provides Parasymapathetic innervation to
- Sphincter pupillae
- Cilliary muscles
- Via Ciliary Ganglion
- Control pupil constriction and accomodation
- Provides Parasymapathetic innervation to
- Origin
- Edinger-Westphal nucleus
Where are parasympathetic fibers in CN III
Inferior Branch
Where are pre-ganglionic and post ganglionic fibers in CN III
Pre-Ganglionic travel from Edinger-Westphal Nucleus to Ciliary Ganglion
Post-Ganglionic go from Cilliary ganglion to Eye
Occulomotor Branches from Superior Division
- GSE
- Levator palpabrae superioris
- Superior Rectus
Oculomotor Inferior branches
- GSE
- Medial Rectus
- Inferior rectus
- Inferior Oblique
- GVE
- Cilliary ganglion, hitch hikes on short cilliary (V1)
- Sphincter Pupillae
- Ciliary Muscles
What passes through the Ciliary Ganglion
CN III GVE Parasympathetic Synpase within
Sympathetic root
V1 (Sensory?)
Sympathetic Innervation for Intrinsic Eye
Path
Innervation
- Pre-ganglionic travel to superior cervical plexus
- Post-ganglionic travel to long and short ciliary nerves
- Wrap around ICA, Internal Carotid Plexus
- Innervates
- Dilator Papillae
- Ciliary
- Superior tarsal
- branch off LPS and eyelid
- Forces ye open wide
What are the 4 results of CN III Lesions
- Diplopia
- Lateral stabismus
- wall eyed
- Ptosis
- Dropping of eyelid
- Disabled levator palpebrae superioris
- Mydraisis
- Pupil dilation
- Disable pupillary sphincter

Where does the Greater Petrosal n branch from
Geniculate ganglion in the greater petrosal nerve canal
What does the Greater Petrosal n carry
- Carries Pre-ganglionis parasympathetic fibers to lacrimal gland, nasal/palatal glands,
- GVA sensory fibers from the nasopharynx
