Cranial Nerves Overview Flashcards
What 3 categories can sensory cranial nerves be categorized into?
General
Visceral
Special
What do General Sensory Nerves convey?
Touch Vibration Proprioception Pressure Pain Temperature
What do Visceral Sensory Nerves convey?
All visceral input except for pain.
What do Special Sensory Nerves convey?
Smell Vision Hearing Taste Balance
What are the 3 distinct motor cranial nerve divisions?
General
Branchial
Visceral
What do General Somatic Motor Nerves innervate?
Innervate muscles developed from somites
What do Branchial Motor Nerves innervate?
Innervate muscles developed from branchial arches
What do Visceral Motor Nerves innervate?
Innervate all glands and smooth muscle
Cranial nerve efferent pathways originate from which type of neuron?
Upper Cortical Neuron
Do descending cortical neurons have, ipsi, contra, or bilateral projections?
Bilateral
Which muscles do not have bilateral innervation via LMNs?
SCM
Trapezius
Lower 1/2 Face
Damage to a UMN results in what?
Paresis/Paralysis during volitional movement
Spasticity
Exaggerated MSRs
What is spasticity?
Increase of tone in one compartment.
When will atrophy occur with UMN lesion?
Only after long-standing paralysis.
Damage to a LMN results in what?
Paresis
