cranial nerves Flashcards
what is cranial nerve 1?
olfactory nerve
Function of the olfactory n?
lateral olfactory stria determine type/intensity of smell and medial olfactory stria determine emotion
What is cranial nerve 2?
Optic nerve
function of the optic nerve?
sensory information about vission
what is cranial nerve 3?
occulomotor nerve
function of the occulomotor nerve?
movement of the eye, pupil constriction, and focus
Muscles supplied by the oculomotor nerves?
superior division–> superior rectus, levator papilpebrae superioris
Inferior division–> medial rectus, inferior rectus, inferior oblique
iris and cilary muscle
what is cranial nerve 4?
Trochlear
Function of the trochlear nerve?
innervates superior oblique m
what is cranial nerve 5?
trigeminal
function of the trigeminal nerve?
sensation to anterior head and motor for mastication
name the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve?
ophthalamic, maxillary, mandibullary
main functions of the ophthalamic division?
sensory to forehead, sensation to bridge of nose
main function of the maxillary division?
sensory from teeth and palate
main function of the mandibullary division?
sensory from lower teeth and jaw, temporal, anterior tongue
motor innervation of the trigeminal n.
supplies mylohyoid and anterior digastric
what is the 6th cranial nerve?
aducens
function of the aducens nerve?
abduction of the eye (superior lateral rectus)
What is the 7th cranial nerve?
Facial nerve
function of the fascial nerve?
muscles of fascial expression and chewing, sensation to external acoustic, taste, salivary gland (parasymp)
list the 6 branches of the fascial motor roots?
posterior auricular, temproal, zygomatic, bucal, mandibular, cervical
what is the 8th cranial nerve?
vestibulocochlear
function of the vestibulocochlear nerve?
proprioception and hearing
how many vestibular nuclei? cochlear?
- 2
How are different pitches differentiated?
high frequency sound is heard at base, low frequency sound is heard at apex
How is intensity of sound interpreted?
degree of vibration
how does proprioception of vestibulocochlear nerve work?
movement of head. hair moves, crystals bends, depolarizes nerve, sensation
function of the glossopharyngeal nerve?
posterior tongue and pharynx
function of the vagus nerve?
sensory taste, slow HR, increase Blood flow
Function of the accesory nerve?
traps, sternocleidmastoid
Function of the hypoglossal nerve?
inferior base of tongue muscles
