Q

pathway of optic nerve

A

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

20
Q

innervation of mandibular nerve

A

Motor component: MUSCLES OF MASTICATION
Sensory component: skin over the mandible, lower lip and side of head, mandibular teeth, mucosa of the mouth and the ant two thirds of the tongue

21
Q

pathway of abducens

A

The abducens nerve arises between the pons and the medulla on the brain and will travel through the SUPERIOR ORBITAL FISSURE to innervate the lateral rectus muscle

22
Q

abducens is motor or sensory

A

motor

23
Q

facial nerve is sensory or motor

A

both

24
Q

pathway of CVII

A
  • CVII emerges btw the pons and medulla on the brain and exits the skull though the internal acoustic meatus, facial canal and finally the STYLOMASTOID FORAMEN
  • Passes through the parotid gland
25
Q

which cranial nerve passes through the parotid gland

A

facial

26
Q

innervation of facial nerve

A

Supplies: muscles of facial expression, taste to ant. two thirds of the tongue, parasympathetic innervation to the submandibular, sublingual and lacrimal glands and mucous glands of the soft palate, nose and paranasal sinuses.

27
Q

location of vestibulochloar nerve

A

Located in the Petrous portion of the Temporal bone at the internal auditory meatus

Found just below the Pons the junction of the Medulla Oblongata

28
Q

pathway of CVIII

A

The vestibulocochlear nerve enters the internal acoustic meatus where it then divides into vestibular (equilibrium) and cochlear (hearing) divisions

29
Q

glossopharyngial is sensory or motor

A

both

30
Q

which nerve is responsible for conveying taste from posterior third of tongue

A

CIX

31
Q

innervation of CIX

A

Supplies sensory innervation to the pharyngeal mucosa, palatine tonsil, posterior one third of the tongue, auditory tube, middle ear, carotid sinus and carotid body

32
Q

which muscle is only innervated by the glossopharyngieal nerve

A

stylopharygeus

33
Q

which nerve supplies parasympathetic innervation to the parotid and salivary gland

A

CIX

34
Q

sensory function of CIX

A

Sensory function (proprioception of swallowing muscles, monitoring BP, O2, CO2 in bld, breathing rate and depth)

35
Q

pathway of CIX

A

Passes through the jugular foramen to exit the skull

36
Q

which nerve name means the wanderer

A

vagus nerve

37
Q

why vagus nerve means the wanderer

A

due to its extensive innervation throughout the body

38
Q

function of vagus nerve

A

Responsible for sensation from the inferior pharynx, larynx and thoracic and abdominal viscera
• Taste from the root of the tongue and taste buds located on the epiglottis are also carried by CX

39
Q

innervation of vagus nerve

A

Innervates the muscles of the soft palate, pharynx, the intrinsic laryngeal muscles and the palatoglossus muscles of the tongueParasympathetic innervation of the thoracic and abdominal viscera down to the splenic flexure
• Autonomic regulation of heart rate, respiration, digestion, blood pressure, etc.

40
Q

which nerve is responsible forParasympathetic innervation of the thoracic and abdominal viscera down to the splenic flexure
• Autonomic regulation of heart rate, respiration, digestion, blood pressure, etc.

A

vagus

41
Q

pathway of vagus

A

Exits the skull at the medulla oblongata with the glossopharyngeal nerve (C IX) at the Jugular Foramen

42
Q

motor pathways of vagus nerve

A
  • skeletal muscle - swallowing muscles of pharynx and larynx
  • Smooth muscle
  • Cardiac muscle
43
Q

origin of accessory nerve

A

Originates from the medulla oblongata and spinal cord

44
Q

pathway of accessory nerve

A
  • The spinal portion enters the skull through the foramen magnum, joins the medullary portion and exits through the jugular foramen
  • CXI also leaves the skull at the jugular foramen and is responsible for the motor innervation of the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles
45
Q

which muscle is innerve by accessory nerve

A

trap and SCM

46
Q

pathway of hypoglossal nerve

A

The hypoglossal nerve arises from the medulla and leaves the skull from the medulla oblongata, through the hypoglossal canal

47
Q

which nerve Joined temporarily by fibers from spinal nerves C1 and C2, which form the superior limb of the ansa cervicalis

A

CXII

48
Q

innervation of CXII

A

CXII supplies motor innervation to all the muscles of the tongue except palatoglossus (supplied by the Vagus nerve - CX)
