23
Q

Intracranialy CNVII goes to?

A

Geniculate ganglion : major sensory ganglion for taste
- Greater petrosal - parasymp of lacrimal, palantine,
nasal glands, and taste from palate
-Chorda tympani nerve - Parasymp innervation of
sublingual submandibular glands, taste from
anterior 2/3 of tongue
-Nerves to stapedius - muscle in ear that reduces sound?

24
Q

What innervation by the CNVII helps in reducing ear sensitivity to sound?

A

Innervation of stapedius muscle that reduces sound volume

25
Q

What nerve of the Intracranial tract of CNVII provides parasympathetic innervation to the lacrimal, palantine, nasal glands, and taste from the palate?

A

Greater Petrosal Nerve

26
Q

What nerve of the Intracranial tract of CNVII provides parasympathetic innervation of the sublingual and submandibular glands, and taste to anterior 2/3 of tongue?

A

Chorda Tympani Nerve

27
Q

Extracranial Tract of CNVII?

A

Embedded in partoid gland forms the partoid plexus, has 5 branches

  1. Temporal
  2. Zygomatic
  3. Buccal
  4. Mandibular
  5. Cervial
28
Q

Injury to CNVII (facial Nerve) Causes what condition?

A

Bells Palsy, droop in one side of the face while the other side still functions for facial expression

29
Q

Injury in the motor cortex?

A

Caused by strode, droop in one side of the face while, expression/control of upper face is functioning on both sides b/c other side of brain kicks in to aid function.

30
Q

What Cranial Nerve controls hearing and balance?

A

CNVIII: Vestibular Cochlear
-controls hearing and balance
Vestibular nerve - balance
Cochlear nerve - hearing

31
