cranial nerve Flashcards
function of CN1
special sensory (or visceral afferent - smell)In addition to enable us to smell, CI also induces visceral responses via the ANS • For example, salivation is initiated in response to the aroma of food
function of optic nerve
special sensory (somatic afferent - vision)
formation of optic nerve
The optic nerve is formed by retinal ganglion axons that
converge at the optic disc at the back of the eye
why is optic nerve unique?
CII is unique in that it is surrounded by cranial meninges and subarachnoid space is filled with CSF
pathway of optic nerve
From the optic chiasma, it runs toward the brain (thalamus) by way of the optic tractsIn the brain some fibers terminate in the thalamus, others in the superior colliculi (corpora quadrigeminis) before travelling to the occipital lobe - visual cortex
which nerve is the chief motor nerve to the ocular and extra ocular muscle
occulomotor
which muscle is innervate by C111
- Superior, Inferior and Medial Rectus muscles
- Inferior Oblique muscle
- Levator Palpabrae muscle - Upper eyelid muscle
- Ciliary bodies (muscles) of the Lens
- Iris - is smooth muscle that acts like a sphincter to constrict and dilate the pupil size
- Reflex Somatic Adjustment - Proprioceptor
what is carrie by the inferior division of occulosmotor nerve
presynaptic autonomic fibers to the CILIARY GANGLION
where does the occulomotr divides
Within the superior orbital fissure, the nerve divides into the
superior and inferior divisions
cIV function
motor
pathway of trochlear Neve
Originates from the superiolateral aspect of the pons
• The trochlear nerve passes through the Superior Orbital Fissure
what happen if we injured the trochlear nerves
Injury to this nerve inhibits the eyeball form turning out and down (inferolaterally)
• DIPLOPIA (double vision).
which cranial nerve is the only one to emerge dorsally from the brainstem
trochlear
location of trigeminal nerve
side of pons
which division of CV Is purely sensory
CV1 et CV2
pathway and innervation of ophthalmic nerve
sensory nerve that passes through the Superior orbital fissure and supplies the eyeball, conjunctiva, lacrimal gland and sac, nasal mucosa, frontal sinus, external nose, upper eyelid, forehead and scalp.
pathway + innervation of maxillary nerve
a sensory nerve that passes through the Foramen Rotundum. It relays sensation from the skin of the face over the maxilla inluding the upper lip, maxillary teeth, nasal mucosa, maxillary sinuses and palate.
the 3rd division of CV is motor and sensory ?
yes
where does mandibular nerve pass
MANDIBULAR division (CV3) passes through the foramen OVALE and is both a sensory and a motor nerve.
