Cranial Nerves Flashcards
Cranial Nerves are
12 pairs of nerves that originate from the brain and brain stem instead of the spinal cord
What cranial nerves come from the forebrain
CN I and CN II
What cranial nerves come from the brainstem
CNIII-CNXII
What type of sensory do cranial nerves NOT DO
SYMPATHETIC
What Cranial Nerve is responsible for Olfaction?
CN I
What Cranial Nerve is responsible for Vision?
CN II
What Cranial Nerves is responsible for MOST MOVEMENT of the eye?
CNIII: Oculomotor
What Cranial Nerve is responsible for looking down and out with your eye, what muscle does it innervate?
CN IV:Trochlear
Innervates the Superior Oblique
What Cranial Nerve is responsible for looking out with the eye, what muscle does it innervate?
CN VI:Adducens
Innervates lateral Rectus
What pathway does CNI take to get to CNS?
Carries special sensory afferents from peripheral projections in upper nasal cavity (olfactory epithelium) through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone to the olfactory bulb
Optic nerves connect to the retina via the….
optic chiasm
Fibers from the ____ side of the retina cross over at the optic chiasm, onto the optic tract of the opposite side.
Medial
A lesion in the optic chiasm cause what disease, what is the effect?
bitemporal hemianopsia, no peripheral vision
CNIII provides somatic motor innervation to what extraocular/ extrinsic muscles?
Levator Palpebrae superioris - elevates eyelid Superior rectus Inferior rectus Medial Rectus Inferior oblique
CNIII provides visceral motor innervation to what intraocular/ intrinsic muscles via ciliary ganglion?
Sphincter pupilae muscle - pupil constriction
Ciliary Muscle - accomodation (maintain focus as distance changes) of lens, when contracted assits with nearvision
What muscle of the eye controls pupil constriction
Sphincter pupilae muscle
what muscle of the eye controls accomodation
Ciliary Muscle
What muscle of the eye controls pupil dilation
Dilator pupillae, which is not controlled by a cranial nerve
What cranial nerve controls the major sensory of the face and motor to some skeletal muscles?
Trigeminal, has 3 branches VI = Opthalmic (EYE) VII- Maxillary (Cheek Bone) VIII- Mandibular (JAW) *all three sensory but V3 also contains somatic motor for mastication
What cranial nerve controls the mucles of facial expression and most of the glands in the mouth?
CN VII: Facial
CN: VII Controls…
Somatic motor to muscles of facial expression
- taste to ant 2/3 of tongue
- parasympathetic inervation to glands of face except partoid gland
What cranial nerve has a complex course inside and outside of the skull so we divide it into intracranial and extracranial?
CNVII: Facial Nerve
