No, none
Notes on cranial nerves
Cranial nerves derive from the brain or brainstem and are typically NOT formed by the fusion of dorsal and ventral roots. Instead, motor and sensory fibers of the cranial nerves are combined and attached at approximately the same point on the brain, although a few cranial nerves do attach to the brain stem by multiple roots. Also note that cranial nerves do NOT divide into dorsal/ventral primary rami.
What is a sensory ganglia?
Sensory ganglia, (analogous to dorsal root ganglia of the spinal nerves), exist only for those cranial nerves that conduct sensory fibers (CN V, VII, VIII, IX and X). The large trigeminal ganglion associated with CN V is an example of this type of sensory ganglia.Only those cranial nerves with a sensory function are associated with a sensory ganglia. Sensory ganglia of cranial nerves are often further removed from the origin of the nerve from the central nervous system than are the sensory ganglia (dorsal root ganglia) of the spinal nerves.
CN I and II also transmit sensory fibers. Do the have associated sensory ganglia?
No, CN I and II are purely sensory in function, however, they are not associated with organized sensory ganglia.
The geniculate sensory ganglia is associated with which CN?
CN VII
The vestibular sensory ganglia is associated with which CN?
CN VIII
The spiral sensory ganglia is associated with which CN?
CN VIII
The trigeminal sensory ganglia is associated with which CN?
CN V
The superior and inferior sensory ganglia are associated with which CN?
CN IX and X
The GSA functional component of cranial nerves transmits sensory info from where?
sensation from somatic structures (skin, skeletal muscle, fascia, joint capsules, ligaments, tendons, aponeuroses, and periosteum), sensation from the mucosal lining of the oral cavity, nasal cavity, nasal sinuses, and sensation from the mucosal lining of the pharynx, esophagus larynx, trachea, and middle ear
The GVA functional component of cranial nerves transmits sensory info from where?
sensation from visceral structures of the head (carotid body and carotid sinus) and thoracic and abdominal viscera
The SA functional component of cranial nerves transmits sensory info from where?
sensation from specialized receptors in the head which are related to our special senses (vision, hearing, equilibrium, taste, and smell)
SA fibers are only present in which CNs?
I, II, VII, VIII, IX, and X
The GSE functional component of cranial nerves does what?
motor innervation to skeletal muscle in the head derived from somite mesoderm
The GVE functional component of cranial nerves does what?
parasympathetic motor innervation to smooth muscle and glands of the head.
GVE fibers in the head are found in which CNs?
III, VII, IX, and X
The BE functional component in the head does what?
motor to skeletal muscle in the head derived from brachia (pharyngeal arch) mesoderm
Muscular structures arise from the mesoderm of which pharyngeal arches?
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches. The 5th pharnygeal arch is rudimentary.
What skeletal muscles of the head are innervated by GSE?
1) Skeletal muscles of the tongue (XII) except the palatoglossus, 2) skeletal muscles of the orbit (eye) (III, IV & VI) 3) the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles (XI) These develop from somite mesoderm and these are not branchiomeric muscles.
What head muscles are derived from the first pharyngeal arch and what is their innervation?
MAST-MATTmuscles of mastication- medial and lateral pterygoid, temporalis, and masseterMylohyoid muscleanterior belly of digastric muscletensor veli palatini muscletensor tympani muscleinnervated by CN V(3); mandibular
What head muscles are derived from the second pharyngeal arch and what is their innervation?
muscles of facial expressionposterior belly of digastric musclestylohyoid musclestapedius muscleinnervated by CN VII- facial
What head muscles are derived from the third pharyngeal arch and what is their innervation?
stylopharyngeus muscleinnervated by CN IX- glossopharyngeal
What head muscles are derived from the fourth and sixth pharyngeal arch and what is their innervation?
all muscles of larynxall muscles of palate, except tensor veil palatine (V3)all muscles of pharynx, except stylopharyngeus (CN IX)innervated by CN X; vagus
Where are GSA spinal nerve cell bodies found?
dorsal root ganglia of T1-L2 (GVA cell bodies for spinal nerves are also found here)
Where are GSE spinal nerve cell bodies found?
ventral root (gray matter)
CN I and CN II have sensory function but are not associated with organized sensory ganglia (unlike CN V, VII, VIII, IX, and X). So where are their cell bodies?
The sensory neurons of CN I (SA) are diffusely dispersed in the olfactory epithelium. The sensory neurons of CN II (SA) are diffusely dispersed in the retina.remember that the GSA neuron bodies are found in the associated peripheral sensory ganglia for the other CNs with sensory ability (CN V, VII, VIII, IX, and X)
