Cranial nerves Flashcards
cranial nerve nuclei - located in
tegmentum portion of brain stem (between dorsal and ventral portion)
cranial nerve nuclei in midbrain
CN III, CN IV (3-4)
cranial nerve nuclei in pons
CN V, CN VI, CN VII, CN VIII (5-8)
cranial nerve nuclei in medulla
CN IX, X, XII (9,10,12)
cranial nerve nuclei in spinal cord
CN XI (11)
sulcus limitans - anatomical function
seperate lateral cranial nuclei (sensory) from medial cranial nuclei (motor)
medial cranial nuclei - function
motor
lateral cranial nuclei - function
sensory
CN I passing through
many openings of the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone (anterior cranial fossa)
cranial nerves that enter into the middle cranial fossa through sphenoid bone
CN II - CN VI (2-6)
CN II enter into ….. cranial fossa via ….
middle cranial fossa
via optic canal
…. pass through optic canal
CN II
ophthalmic artery
… pass through superior orbital fissure into medial cranial fossa
CN III, IV, V1, VI, ophthalmic vein, sympathetic fibers
superior orbital fissure - bone?
sphenoid bone
optic canal - bone?
sphenoid bone
CN V2 enter into …. via …
middle cranial fossa
Foramen Rotundum
CN V3 enter into …. via …
middle cranial fossa
Foramen Ovale
… pass through Foramen spinosum into
middle meningeal artery
middle cranial fossa
pathways to anterior middle cranial fossa through sphenoid bone and what passes through
- optic canal (CN II, ophatlmic artery, central retinal vein)
- superior orbital fissure (CN III, IV, V1, VI, ophthalmic vein, sympathetic fibers)
- foramen Rotundum (CN V2)
- foramen ovale (CN V3)
- foramen spinosum (middle meningeal artery)
cranial nerve V enter into middle cranial fossa through
V1 - superior orbital fissure
V2 - foramen Rotundum
V3 - foramen ovale
cranial nerves? that passes into posterior nerves through … bone
CN VII-XII (7-12)
temporal or occipital bone
….passes through internal auditory meatus
CN VII
CN VIII
….passes through jugular foramen
CN IX
CN X
CN XI
jugular vein
….passes through hyoglossal canal (area of hypoglossal canal)
CN XII
between foramen magnum (medial) and jugular foramen (lateral)
….passes through foramen magnum
spinal roots of CN XI
brain stem
vertebral arteries
pathways to posterior cranial fossa through temporal or occipital bone and what passes through
- internal auditory meatus (CN VII, VIII)
- Jugular foramen (CN IX, X, XI, jugular vein)
- hypoglossal canal (CN XII)
- foramen magnum (spinal roots of CN XI, brain stem, vertebral arteries
pathways into cranial
