smooth m and glands in pharynx, larynx, thoracic, abd viscera

33
Q

sensory fxn of CN X

35
Q

motor fxn of CN XI (spinal accessory)

A

sternocleidomastoid

trapezius

36
Q

motor fxn of CN XII

A

intrinsic and extrinsic m of tongue

37
Q

corneal blink reflex pathway

A

touch on the cornea → CN V1 (ophthalmic) → spinal nucleus of CN V → CN VII nucleus → CN VII → orbicularis oculi → blink

38
Q

reflex arc for gag reflex (same-same pharyngeal reflex)

A

touch to posterior pharyngeal wall → sensed by CN IX (afferent) → brainstem → CN X → elevation of soft palate

39
Q

loss of gag reflex could mean damage to either

A

CN IX

CN X

40
Q

how do you determine which n is damaged in the absence of gag reflex

A

have the pt say “Ahh”

41
Q

if the pt says “Ahh” and there is no soft palate elevation, which n is damaged

A

CN X

42
Q

sensory from carotid body chemoreceptors and baroreceptors

A

CN IX

43
Q

sensory from aortic chemo and baroreceptors

A

CN X

44
Q

baroreceptor reflex

A

hypotn → decreased bp → decreased stretch → sensed by CN IX and CN X → decreased afferent baroreceptor firing → increased SNS firing and decreased PSNS firing → vasoconstriction → increased HR and contractility → increased BP

45
Q

carotid massage effect

A

carotid massage → increased pressure → increased stretch sensed by CN IX baroreceptors → increased afferent firing → increased AV node refractory period → decreased HR

46
Q

which CN carry parasympathetic fibers

III

VII

IX

X

47
Q
