cranial nerve Flashcards
groove between the pyramid and the olive (anterolateral sulcus) emerge the
Hypoglossal (XII)
groove between the pons and the medulla oblongata, three nerves
Abducent (VI), Facial (VII) and Vestibulocochlear(VIII)
Posterior Perforated Substance, in these fossa arise the
Oculomotor (III)
Pons emerges on each side of the anterolateral surface by by the smaller medial motor root and a larger lateral sensory root.
Trigeminal (V)
in the groove posterior to the olive (posterolateral sulcus) emerge the rootless of the
Glossopharyngeal (IX), Vagus (X) and Accessory (XI) nerves
Vestibular area, which contain the
vestibular nuclei
the Gracile Tubercle and more laterally the Cuneate Tubercle, produced by the nuclei
gracile and cuneate nuclei respectively
Pain, temperature and touch. Supplies skin and mucous membranes of the head and neck. Predominantly in V but several minor elements in VII, IX and X.
General Somatic Afferent (general sensory)
Special Somatic Afferent (special senses concerned with body position, excluding vision)
Maintenance of balance and reception of sound (vestibulocochlear organ)
Convey pain and sensibility of viscera from alimentary tract, heart, vessels, and lung by nerves IX and X.
General Visceral Afferents
Olfactory epithelium in nasal cavity (nerve I) and taste receptors in tongue and palate (verves VII, IX and X).
Special Visceral Afferent (special visceral senses, taste and smell)
Supplies skeletal muscle of somatic origin (preotic somites) – extraocular muscles, III, IV and VI; (occipital somites) – tongue musculature) XII.
General Somatic Efferent (general motor)
Supplies smooth muscle (viscera), III (intrinsic eye muscles, ciliary muscle and sphincter pupillae), VII (salivatory and lacrimal glands), IX (the parotid glands), and X (cardiac muscle, lung, glands, blood vessels and bowel).
General Visceral Efferents*
preganglionic parasympathetic
Skeletal muscles that derive from the pharyngeal arches, muscles of mastication (nerve V) and facial expression (nerve VII), swallowing (nerves IX and X), producing vocal sounds (nerve X), and turning the head (nerve XI).
Special Visceral Efferents (branchiomotor)
