20
Q

CN I

A

olfactory n.
special sensory only.

does NOT originate in brain stem.
originates in nose.

olfactory axons –> cribriform plate –> synapse on olfactory bulb of olfactory tract

21
Q

olfactory tract

A

extension of the brain.

covered by meninges.

22
Q

CN II

A

optic n. (extension of brain, covered by meninges)

light stim retina –> APs travel down optic n. –> some cross at optic chiasm, others don’t –> travel down “optic TRACT” –> occipital lobe for interpretation by visual cortex

23
Q

optic n. vs optic tract

A

globe –> chiasm = optic n.

posterior to chiasm = optic tract

24
Q

axons of retinal ganglion cells make up the

A

optic n.

25
Q

CN IV

A

trochlear n.

somatic motor only.

devoted to one m. in eye (superior oblique m.)

26
Q

CN VI

A

abducent n.

somatic motor only.

devoted to one m. in eye
(lateral rectus m. –> moves eye LATERALLY)

27
Q

CN IV and CN VI are _____ motor only

A

SOMATIC motor only.

28
Q

CN IIII
CN IV
CN VI
CN V(V1)

all enter thru …

A

superior orbital fissure

between greater and lesser wings of sphenoid bone

29
Q

CN XI

A

spinal accessory n. (imposter, does NOT arise from brain stem)

somatic motor to SCM and trapezius.

fibers from spinal nuclei –> foramen magnum –> U-turn out through jugular foramen –> to SCM and trapezius

30
Q

CN XII

A

hypoglossal n.

somatic motor only to tongue.

rootlets emerge from groove between pyramids/olive of medulla oblongata –> exits skull through hypoglossal canal –> innervates…

genioglossus
hyoglossus
stylglossus

31
Q

palatoglossus m. innervation

A

CN X

32
Q

genioglossus m. originates from

A

genial tubercles

33
Q

CN VIII

2 nerves?

A

vestibulochoclear n.

enters internal acoustic meatus and splits into 2 divisions, both special sensory.

vestibular division –> balance
cochlear division –> hearing

34
Q

CN VIII

path of vestibular division

A

enter internal acoustic meatus –> anterior toward cochlea for hearing

35
Q

CN VIII

path of cochlear division

A

enter internal acoustic meatus –> back toward semicircular canals for balance

36
Q

eye movement via oculomotor n. vs abducent n.

A

oculomotor n. –> most actions of eye

abducent n. –> specifically abduction (lateral movement of eye)

37
Q

postganglionic fibers of greater petrosal n. to the ORBIT piggyback on ____ n.

A

postganglionic fibers of greater petrosal n. to the orbit piggyback on V1 and V2 n.

38
