cranial nerves 2 Flashcards
the parasympathetic fibers in the oculomotor nerve supply what? interruption of this causes?
sphincter pupillae and ciliary mm. interuption causes dilated pupil and failure to accomodate.
sympathetic fibers of the occulomotor nerve CN III, supply the vessels of the ___ and ___. what is its effect on the pupil?
vessels of the eyeball and cornea
dilated pupil is associated with fear.
sensory fibers of the occulomotor n CN III reach the eyeball and cornea via the ____ branch of what nerve?
nasociliary branch of the ophthalmic n. the integrity of these fibers is essential for the protection of the delicate corneal epithelium.
what does a lesion of the occulomotor nerve present as>
ptosis of the eyelid due to paralysis of levator palpebrae m.
lateral strabismus from the unopposed action of the lateral rectus (CN VI)
dilation of the pupil and loss of accommodation and pupillary contraction on exposure to light due to the paralysis of sphincter pupillae and ciliary m.
CN IV is purely sensory or motor? supplying what?
trochlear n, purely motor, supplying the superior oblique muscle.
what is the only cranial nerve to arise from the dorsal aspect of the brain stem?
CN IV, trochlear n
lesion of CN IV presents how?
leaves the individual unable to turn their eye downwards and laterally
CN IV travels under the free edge of what? and enters the orbit how?
free edge of the tentorium cerebelli and enters through the SOF.
what is the largest cranial N?
trigeminal nerve
what nerve is the main sensory nerve to the face, scalp, teeth, mouth, and nasal cavity?
trigeminal n CN V
what nerve innervates the muscles of mastification?
CN V
what does CN V turn into after forming the trigeminal ganglion ?
three parts
ophthalmic division V1
maxillary division V2
mandibular division V3
where is the trigeminal ganglion located?
in the cavum trigeminale.
v1 opthalmic division of CV V is purely?
sensory
what branch of the CV V supplies sensory to the cornea, lacrimal gland, conjuctiva, mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, skin of the nose, eyelids, scalp, and forehead?
V1 ophthalmic division of CN V
V1 exits the brain stem how? then what does it split into?
the SOF
lacrimal nerve, frontal n, and nasociliary n.
what does the lacrimal n innervate?
lacrimal gland, conjunctiva, and skin of upper eyelid.
the frontal nerve, a division of V1, divides into two nerves, what are they? what do they supply?
the supratrochlear n and the supraorbital n, these supply the eyelid, conjunctiva, and skin of the forehead.
the nasociliary branch innervates what?
the nasal mucosa, ethmoidal, and sphenoid sinuses.
what does the nasociliary n communicate with to give postganglionic sympathetic fibers to the ___ ___ _.
communicates with the ciliary ganglion passing post ganglionic sympathetic fibers to the short ciliary nn.
both ____ ___ and ____ fibers pass to the ciliary body and iris.
post ganglionic sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers.
further along what branch does the nasociliary n give off that carries postganglionic sympathetic fibers to the dilator pupillae and afferent fibers to the cornea?
long ciliary nerves.
from medial to lateral what is the branching pattern of V1?
nasociliary, frontal, and lacrimal.
NFL
V2 maxillary division of CV V is purely ___ to what>
sensory supplying the skin over the maxilla, upper teeth, hard and soft palate
V2 maxillary division brings parasympathetic fibers to what? what is the purpose of this structure?
the lacrimal gland whose vasomotor action cause the gland to secrete tears to keep the eye moist.
how does V2 exit the cranial cavity?
through foramen rotundum .
once v2 passes foramen rotundum, it has entered the?
pterygopalantine fossa
to exit the pterygopalatine fossa what foramen does V2 pass?
the inferior orbital fissure
within the fossa, what hangs from V2?
the pterygopalatine ganglion.
preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from what nerve synapse in the pterygopalantine ganglion?
the great petrosal nerve from fascial CN VII.
the great petrosal nerve fuses with what nerve to form what?
fuses with the deep petrosal nerve which carries postganglionic sympathetic fibers to form the nerve of the pterygoid canal.
both autonomic fibers travel how after the pterygopalatine ganglion to reach the lacrimal gland to supply secretomotor innervation?
through the zygomatic n another branch of V2.
what branch of V2 takes foramen rotundum–> pterygopalantine fossa–> inferior orbital fissure and comes out of the infraorbital foramen?
the infraorbital N.
what branch of V2 takes foramen rotundum–> pterygopalantine fossa–> inferior orbital fissure–> down through the maxillary sinus to the upper teeth?
the superior alveolar Nerves.
what branch of V2 goes through foramen rotundum–> passes through the pterygopalantine ganglion and down through the lesser and greater palantine foramen in the hard palate?
the lesser and greater palatine nerves respectively.
V3 mandibular divison of CN V contains what type of fibers?
both motor and sensory fibers.
how does V3 mandibular division leave the cranial cavity>
