Q

where do fibers of CN 7 exit the skull?

A

Stylomastiod foramen

17
Q

fibers of CN 7 pass through what structure? (a plexus is formed here)

A

Parotid gland

18
Q

branches of CN 7 after they pass thru the parotid gland innervate what?

A

1) External ear (posterior auricular)

2) facial muscles

19
Q

Parasympathetic components of the Nervus intermedius:

A

A) Superior salivatory nucleus
B) Greater petrosal nerve
C) Chorda tympani nerve

20
Q

where does the greater petrosal nerve synapse?

A

Pterygopalatine ganglion

21
Q

what ganglion is associated with the chord tympani nerve?

A

Submandibular ganglion

22
Q

What is the visceral afferent portion of the facial nerve responsible for?

A

Taste- anterior 2/3 of tongue

feeling to tonsils and posterior nasal cavity

23
Q

action of facial nerve- SVE

A
  • Muscles of facial expression

- Stapedius muscle

24
Q

Action of the facial nerve- GVE

A

salivation and lacrimation

25
Q

what causes Bell’s Palsy?

A

Facial nerve lesion

26
Q

why is irritation of the cornea a common symptom of Bell’s Palsy?

A

CN 7 controls the closure of the eyelid and lacrimation- lesion will lead to dry eyes

27
Q

where is paresis observed in Bell’s palsy

A

above & below the eye

28
Q

Bell’s palsy sufferers see a reduced production of what?

A

tears and saliva

29
Q

Facial nerve paralysis

A

paralysis is complete over half the face

30
Q

T/F: both nerve components of CN 7 course thru the facial canal

A

true

31
Q

the facial nerve turns in the facial canal to form what?

A

external genu

32
Q

where is the geniculate ganglion found?

A

at the genu

33
Q

which fibers exit the facial canal before the stylomastiod foramen?

A

-Stapedial nerve

-branches to pterygopalatine ganglion
(greater petrosal nerve)

-Chorda tympani nerve

34
Q

the chorda tympani nerve carries what types of fibers?

A

GVE to submandibular ganglion

SVA from tongue

35
Q

crocodile tears:

A

Unilateral tearing seen in anticipation of, and during meals

36
Q

what causes crocodile tears?

A

para-symp fibers to submandibular gland have been re-routed to pterygopalatine ganglion

37
Q

Supranuclear lesion- symptoms

A

paralysis of muscles of facial expression below the level of the eye

38
Q

which side of the face is paralyzed during a supranuclear lesion?

A

located opposite the side of the lesion
