cranial nerves (except cnV) Flashcards
pathway of CNI
olfactory nerve cells, cribiform plate, olfactory bulb, olfactory tract, olfactory area of the temporal lobe
functional group of CNI
SVA - sense of smell
pathway of CNII
rods and cones to ganglion of cells of retina, through the optic canal, optic chiasm, optic tract, common tendinous ring, lateral geniculate body, to occipital lobe
functional group of CNII
SSA - vision
pathway of CNVII
vestibular and chochlear branch join together and form the vestibulochoclear nerve, then it passes through the internal acoustic meatus and attaches to pons and medulla
t/f. vestibular nucleus is associated with hearing, and cochlear is associated with balance.
false, vestibular is associated with balance, and cochlear is associated with hearing
functional group of CNVIII
SSA
sensory only cranial nerves
I, II, VIII
pathway of CNIV
midbrain trochlear nucleus, middle cranial fossa, lateral cavernous sinus, superior orbital fissure, lateral to tendinous ring, innervates superior oblique
functional group of CNIV
GSE
pathway of CNVI
junction of pons and medulla at abducens nucleus, passes with ICA through cavernous sinus, through superior orbital fissure, through tendinous ring, innervates lateral rectus
functional group of CNVI
GSE
pathway of CNXI
cranial root at the medulla runs laterally in the post cranial fossa and joins the spinal root.
spinal root of the 5 upper segments of the spinal cord ascend up through the foramen magnum and meet the cranial root. they leave through the jugular foramen to join vagus (cranial) and innervate SCM and traps (spinal)
functional group of the cranial root of CNXI
SVE - motor to muscles of soft palate, pharynx, and intrinsic pharynx muscles
functional group of the spinal root of CNXI
GSE - innervates SCM and trap
pathway of CNXII
rootlets from hypoglossal nucleus on medulla join and travel through hypoglossal canal, enters the root of the tongue and innervates extrinsic tongue muscles (except palatogloss.) and intrinsic tongue muscles
functional group of CNXII
GSE - innervates intrinsic tongue muscles and extrinsic tongue muscles, except for palatoglossus
what type of sympathetic fibers are in the cranial region
post ganglionic sympathetic from the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion
pathway from the oculomotor branch of CNIII
midbrain, middle cranial fossa through the cavernous sinus, through sup orbital fissure, divides into superior and inferior, to the eye muscles
functional group of CNIII from the oculomotor nucleus
GSE - innervates eye muscles (not sup oblique or lat rectus)
functional group of CNIII from the edinger westphal nucleus
GVE - innervates the sphincter pupillae and ciliary muscles.
pathway from the edinger westphal nucleus
(preganglionic) midbrain, middle cranial fossa through cavernous sinus, through sup orbital fissure, continues into inferior division, passes through cilliary ganglion with sympathetic nerves, (post ganglionic) short cilliary nerves to sphincter pupillae and cilliary muscles
sympathetic innervation of the intrinsic eye muscles
dilator pupillae, cilliary, superior tarsal (raise upper eyelid)
