Cranial Nerve VII Nuclei Flashcards
facial nerve components
motor to mm of facial expression
-SVE
motor to stapedius
autonomics - lacrimal and salivary glands (SL/SM)
afferents - touch pain pharynx, taste anterior 2/3 tongue
sensation to skin inside external ear
innervation of stapedius
facial nerve
action of stapedius
dampens sound intensity
facial n leads cranial
internal acoustic meatus
passes through facial canal in petrous temporal bone
external genu
strong bend in facial canal
geniculate ganglion
sensory ganglion at external genu
stylomastoid foramen
efferent fibers of facial nerve leave here
greater petrosal nerve
autonomics from facial nerve to PPG
chorda tympani
from facial nerve
facial motor nucleus
in pons
-loop aroud the abducens nucleus - internal genu
internal genu
from where facial motor nucleus bend around abducens nucleus
lesion to abducens nucleus
will almost always impact ipsilateral facial mm.
-bc of internal genu facial motor nucleus
autonomics for facial
GVE
-superior salivatory nucleus
GVA - taste from anterior 2/3
processed in solitary nucleus
lesion of facial motor nucleus
ipsilateral loss of muscles of facial expression
