Crainial nerves Flashcards
Trigeminal system adds on
DCML for touch and proprioception
spinothalamic for pain and temp
TMJ syndrome is associated with
V3 of Trigeminal
lateral ptyergoid function
opens mouth
stapedius innervation
CN VII
Geniculate Ganglion has what neurons
To Zanzibar by motor car
Temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular and cervical
all motor
Chorda Tympani
anterior 2/3 of tongue for tasting
Pterygopalatine
Ganglion
For parasympathetics of CN VII. Does the secretions of the lacrimal glands
Greater protrusal nerve
Parasympathetics of CN VII. Does the secretions of the salivary glands
Facial nerve palsy with decreased hearing is
bad. Proximal nerve damaged with less chance of healing
Facial nerve palsy with increased hearing is
good. distal nerve damaged with greater chance of healing
Bell’s Palsy
Difficulty with eye closure can damage cornea
Idiopathic or viral onset
May involve hearing: stapedius mm
Menier’s disease
ringing in ears
Saccades
movement of reading
Nystagmus
uncoordinated movement of eye
Stabismis
crossed eyes
muscle that does gag reflex
Stylopharyngeus mm
Lesser protrusal nerve
parotid gland secretion
Motor Nerves of CN X
Recurrent Laryngeal and Superior Laryngeal
Recurrent Laryngeal and Superior Laryngeal function
gag reflex and voice
Problems with CN X
Uvula and palate do not elevate
Pulled to strong side
Lesions of the CN XII
Tongue points toward the side of the lesion
There are 4 cranial nerves that carry parasympathetic components:
Oculomotor (CN III)
Facial (CN VII)
Glossopharyngeal (CN IX)
Vagus (CN X)
Sympathetic fibers in the head originate from
C/S
Deep Petrosal Nerve
Sympathetics of the head
Pupillary reflex
constricts with light on Ipsilateral side
Consensual reflex
Contralateral side constricts
Accommodation Reflex
Pupils constrict to increase depth of field
Distance vision
Ciliary muscle is relaxed and the zonula fibers are taut
Near vision
Ciliary muscle is contracted and the zonula fibers are relaxed
Corneal reflex (blink reflex)
CN V and CN VII
