Cranial Nerve Lecture Flashcards
sensory innervation of anterior 2/3 of tongue
lingual n. (br. of V3)
taste sensation of anterior 2/3 of tongue
chorda tympani n.
general sensation and taste innervation of posterior 1/3 of tongue
glossopharyngeal n. (CN IX)
CN VII somatic motor component
enters internal auditory meatus –> facial canal of temporal bone –> emerges from stylomastoid foramen
innervates facial muscles + stylohyoid, posterior belly of digastric, stapedius
CN VII parasympathetic component
- intermediate n. –> greater petrosal n. (to pterygopalatine ganglion, glands in eye, nose, palate)
- intermediate n. –> chorda tympani (to submandibular ganglion, sublingual and submandibular salivary glands in oral cavity)
CN VII special sensory component
taste fibers return from anterior 2/3 of tongue via piggybacking lingual n. (V3)
travels back through petrotympanic fissure w/ chorda tympani
encounter geniculate ganglion and return to CNS
CN V somatic sensory component
from trigeminal ganglion
V1 –> ophthalmic division
V2 –> maxillary division
V3 –> mandibular division
CN V somatic motor component
V3 (mandibular division) –>
4 m. of mastication
4 accessory n. of mastication
CN IX somatic motor component
thru jugular foramen to stylopharyngeus m.
CN IX somatic sensory component
thru jugular foramen to back of pharynx (gag reflex)
CN IX visceral sensory component
thru juglar foramen to carotid body/carotid sinus
CN IX special sensory component
thru jugular foreman to posterior 1/3 of tongue
taste and general sensory
CN IX visceral motor component
thru jugular foramen –> tympanic canaliculus “tympanic n.” –> forms plexus in middle ear –> emerges from middle ear as LESSER PETROSAL N. …
thru foramen ovale –> synapses on OTIC ganglion –> postganglionic fibers of lesser petrosal n. piggyback on AURICULOTEMPORAL n. (V3) –> jump off to supply PAROTID gland
CN III somatic motor component
oculomotor nucleus –> orbit –> split to sup/inf divisions –> supply 5 of 7 extraocular m.
superior rectus inferior rectus medial rectus inferior oblique levator palpebrae superioris
CN III visceral motor component
accessory oculomotor nucleus –> orbit –> inferior division CN III –> ciliary ganglion –> supply ciliary m. and sphincter pupillae
CN X visceral motor component
jugular foramen --> to glands and smooth muscle in... larynx pharynx esophagus abd viscera
–> to HEART
CN X somatic motor component
jugular foramen –> to…
pharyngeal constrictors
laryngeal m.
palatal m.
CN X special sensory component
jugular foramen –> to epiglottis (taste buds)
