cranial nerves 1 :) Flashcards
how many pairs of cranial nerves
12
name the nerves
olfactory optic ocular motor trochlear trigeminal abducens facial vestibular glossopharyngeal vagus accessory hypoglossal
what is olfactory nerves for
special sensory for smell
where do the olfactory nerves pass through
cribriform plate of ethmoid bone (through olfactory bulbs)
clinical tests for olfactory nerves
strong smelling substance under each nostril
optic nerves
special sensory vision
where do optic nerves orginiate
retina of the eye
where do the optic nerves psss
through optic canals of sphenoid bone to diecencephlon via optic chiasm
where do temporal field images hit
nasal half of retina
where do nasal visual fields hit
temporal half of retina
where do optic nerves converge
ventral anterior margin of diencephalon at the optic chiasm
what happens to optic nerves at the optic chiasm
temporal visual fields (from nasal half) cross at chiasm and go to opposite side
axons from temporal half of retina remain uncrossed
what happens with damage to optic nerve
blindness in same eye
damage to optic chiams
bitemporal hemianopia (loss of temporal fields as nasal fields cross over which carry temporal)
damage to optic tract
complete visual loss
clinical tests for optic
snellen charts measure visual acuity
test visual fields, 4 quadrants of each eye
damage to ocular nerve
diplopia
laterla strabismus
dilated pupil in affected eye(due to unopposed sympathetic stimulation to dilator pupil)
damage to abducens nerve
diplopia
medial strabismus
