Cranial Nerves 1-5 Flashcards
Where are the axons of afferent neurons located?
dorsal horn of the gray matter of the spinal cord
Label from 1-4
- ganglion of a cranial nerve
- sensory cranial nerve
- receptors of a cranial nerve
- pseudounipolar neuron
Somatic efferent pathways have [1/2] neurons. They travel to ______.
1
skeletal muscle
Visceral efferent pathways have [1/2] neurons. They travel to ________.
2
preganglionic —> synapse on ganglia —> postganglionic
visceral organs or glands
Trace the pathway of the miosis (pupillary) and accommodation reflexes. What is the special somatic afferent?
SSA: retina
retina —> optic disc —> optic chasm —> optic tract —> rostral colliculus —> accessory oculomotor nucleus —> ciliary ganglion —> constrict pupil sphincter mm.
The nasal retina of the left eye is not intact. What side will your patient experience possible blindness?
right eye
nasal retina: is contralateral so will affect OPPOSITE side
T/F: A dog who is blind will automatically have no miosis reflex.
FALSE - Pupillary light reflexes (miosis) do not involve the conscious perception of vision because it bypasses the lateral geniculate nucleus and goes to the rostral colliculus. Therefore, it is subcortical
The temporal retina of the right eye is not intact. What side will your patient experience possible blindness?
right side
temporal retina: is ipsilateral so will affect the SAME side
What are the main parts of a cranial nerve reflex arc?
receptor/location
afferent nerve
interneuron
efferent nerve
effector muscle
- sometimes GV efferent parasympathetic & smooth mm. and action
The olfactory n. pathway is [General/Special] [Somatic/Visceral] [Afferent/Efferent]
Special Somatic Afferent
What is the afferent nerve for the olfactory n. pathway?
olfactory receptor cells (is the primary afferent neuron)
Respiratory is [more/less] rostral and is not involved in olfaction.
more
Olfactory nerves are in the ________. What do you have to pass to get to the olfactory bulb?
olfactory mucosa
cribriform plate
Where is the olfactory cortex located?
piriform lobe
Label the picture 1-5
- olfactory bulb
- olfactory peduncles
- olfactory tracts
- piriform lobe (olfactory cortex)
- rhinencephalon
What is an important part of the limbic system? List what it is involved in.
hippocampus
involved in the formation of new memories and is associated with learning and emotions
What does the amygdaloid body, or amygdala, do?
activate sympathetic impulse (stress stimulated)
T/F: The olfactory n. pathway bypasses the thalamus (and is the only one to do so)
TRUE
What contains a receptor for pheromones? What reflex stimulates this?
vomeronasal (Jacobson’s) organ
flehmen response
