44
Q

A

hypoglossal canal

45
Q

A

motor to muscles of the tongue (except for palatoglossus)

46
Q

all autonomic ganglia in the head are ____

A

parasympathetic (COPS)

47
Q

what are the parasympathetic ganglia of the head

A
  • ciliary
  • pterygopalatine
  • submandibular
  • otic
48
Q

preganglionic parasympathetic fibers reach their target ganglia via branches of ___ ___ ___

A

CN III, CN VII, or CN IX

49
Q

post-ganglionic parasympathetic fibers reach their end organs by hitch-hikinh along branches of ____

A

CN V- the different divisions

50
Q

preganglionic sympathetic fibers arise in ____

A

T1-T4

51
Q

post-ganglionic sympathetic fibers arise from the _____ and reach their target end organs how

A

superior cervical ganglion and reach their target organs via branches of the internal and external carotid aa.

52
Q

CN III goes to which ganglion? which then goes where to do what?

A

ciliary ganglion, which then synapses on the postganglionic fiber and it hitches a ride on V1 to go to the orbit and constrict the pupil

53
Q

a post ganglionic fiber goes through the ciliary ganglion to do what

A

to dilate the pupil

54
Q

CN VII goes to which ganglion to do what

A

goes to two ganglions, pterygopalantine and submandibular

  • synapses on postganglionic fibers, hitches a ride on V2 and V3 respectively
  • fiber from pterygopalantine goes to lacrimal gland and palate
  • fiber from submandibular goes to sublingual gland, submandibular gland and floor of mouth
55
Q

a postganglionic sympathetic fiber goes through the pterygopalantine ganglion to get where

A

lacrimal gland and palate

56
Q

what ganglion does CN IX go to and what does it do

A

goes to the otic ganglion, synapses on postganglionic fiber, hitches a ride on V3, and goes to parotid gland and vestibule of the mouth

-parotid gland is the salivary gland that is activated when you are chewing something tough

57
Q

CN 1 is purely sensory for what

A

smell

58
Q

what comprises the actual CN I nerve

A

axons from bipolar neurons of the olfactory epithelium of the nasal cavity

59
Q

the axons that form the olfactory n. pass from the nasal cavity up into the cranial cavity through holes in the ____________

A

cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone, located on either side of the crista galli

60
Q

the axons of the olfactory nerve pass through the cribriform plate in groups called what

A

filia olfactoria

61
Q

what do the filia olfactoria enter

A

the olfactory bulb that lies just above the perforated cribriform plate

62
Q

what is it called when you lose your sense of smell and what is the most common way for this to happen

A

anosmia; nerve is most easily torn in trauma and CSF will drip from the nose

63
Q

what nerve is purely sensory for vision and where does it extend

A

optic nerve and it is really a brain tract that extends from the eye through the optic canal to form the optic chiasm

64
Q

what is the purpose of the optic chiasm

A

the union allows the excitatory stimuli from one retina to pass to the opposite side of the brain for interpretation

65
Q

what does the optic nerve pass through?

A

optic foramen, it is the only nerve that doesn’t use the SOF to get into the orbit

66
Q

what does the oculomotor nerve supply

A

all the extraocular mm. except for the lateral rectus (LR6) and the superior oblique (SO4)

remember clue: (LR6SO4)^3, means that the rest of the extraocular muscles are supplied by CN III but LR is supplied by CN VI and SO is supplied by CN IV

67
Q

parasympathetic supply of CN III

A

it supplies the sphincter pupillae and ciliary mm. via the ciliary ganglion

68
Q

sympathetic innervation to the sphincter pupillae and ciliary mm.

A

reaches these targets by hitch hiking along the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal (CN V1)- specifically the nasociliary n.

69
Q

the superior division of CN III supplies what muscles

A

superior rectus and levator palpebrae mm.

70
Q

the inferior division of CN III supplies what muscles

A

medial rectus, inferior rectus, and inferior oblique mm.

71
Q

preganglionic parasympathetic fibers travel in the ____ ____ of CN III and then pass to the ciliary ganglion

A

inferior division of CN III

72
Q

Postganglionic sympathetic fibers travel directly to the eye via the ___ ___ nerve or to the nasocilary branch of V1 and then into the ___ ___ nn.

A

short ciliary nn; long ciliary nn.
