Cranial Nerves Flashcards
what way do cranial nerves exit the brainstem
ventrally except CN IV
what are most cranial nerves from and what matter
streaks of grey matter
what are the components of cranial nerves
3 motor and 3 sensory
what does each component of the cranial nerves arie from
streak orblob of grey matter in brain or brainstem
what are the 3 motor components called
somatic motor (GSE) Visceral motor (parasymp) (GVE) Branchio motor (SVE)
what is the meaning of somatic motor
in development segmented structures somites give rise to components of body
what is the strutcure/function of somatic motor
skeletal muscle - somites (move eye and tongue)
for somatic efferents how many grey blob nuclei are associated and cranial nerves
4 blobs
cranial nerves assc - 3,4,6 which move eye and 12 for moving tongue
what are calliculi
bumps on back of midbrain assc with grey blob nuclei
what happens to the trochlear root CN 4
at inf calliculus
goes to supply sup oblique
only CN to exit dorsally and crosses midline
what si the periaqueductal grey matter important for
modulating pain perception
what does the nuclei of the hypoglossal nerve like
long streak of grey matter running from lower pons thro medulla
what does inferior olivary nucleus do
teach cerebellum to do new motor functions may be timing signals also
wat does hypoglossal control
genioglossus, hypoglossus, styloglossus, intrinsic tongue muscles
what happens when there is hypoglossal problems
hypoglossal palsy
where do most cranial nerves come from
close to midline
what are the structures/site of visceral motor (parasymp GVE)
glands and smooth muscle (head + thorax, GI tract)
where are the nuclei for the parasymp GVE found
laterally to somatic efferents
what si the edinger westphal nucleus
parasymp nucleus oculomotor literally at oculomotor nun innervate ciliary ganglion
what does the sup salivary nucleus do
submand/ling/pterygopalatine parasymp control
what does the inf salivary nucleus do
inv parotid via lesser petrosal form otic ganglion CN 9
what ganglion does CN 7 go thro to supply salivary glands
geniculate ganglion
