Q

where does cn vii originate

A

between pons and medulla = pontomedullary junction

42
Q

how does cn vii exit

A

facial nerve comes out internal acoustic meatus (just below petrous ridge) along with cn viii –> branches to nasal, lacrimal and palatal glands, passes in wall of middle ear
leaves skull via stylomastoid foramen (free portion of cn vii to muscles of facial expression)

43
Q

describe chorda tympani - cn vii

A

comes back into middle ear then goes out and joins lingual = special sensory (visceral), taste to ant 2/3 of tongue

44
Q

describe cn ix - gen

A

glossopharyngeal
tongue pharynx

45
Q

describe cn ix - functions

A

special visceral (taste) & somatic sensory to posterior 1/3 of tongue (area not covered by facial nerve)
Parasympathetic to parotid gland (sits in front of ear)- salivation
sensory/motor innervation to areas/muscles of pharynx = sends food down tube, cough if go down wrong way, gag reflex
GVA innervation to carotid body = gva from carotid body located in carotid sinus (swelling at bifurcation of internal and external carotid arteries)

46
Q

describe cn ix - origin

A

just next to cn vii and cn viii
ponto medullary junction

47
Q

describe cn ix - exit

via jugular foramen
(with cn x, xi and internal jugular vein)

48
Q

what is carotid body

A

collection of chemoreceptors (specialized cells) at bifurcation of carotid arteries in neck (in carotid sinus)

spinal accessory
motor cranial nerve only
primarily spinal organ ~C1-C6

60
Q

describe cn xi - enter

A

foramen magnum

61
Q

describe cn xi - exit

A

jugular foramen - onto sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles

62
Q

describe cn xi - specifics about origin

A

large portion comes from spinal nerves but still considered a cranial nerve
spinal origin has to go back into cranial cavity via foramen magnum
joins cranial part and comes back out via jugular foramen and goes into muscles (sternocleidomastoid and traps)

63
Q

describe cn xii - gen

A

hypoglossal
motor only

64
Q

describe cn xii - originates

A

originates in medulla oblongata
passes through hypoglossal canal into neck then innervates all but one intrinsic/extrinsic tongue muscle

65
Q

describe cn xii - exit

A

hypoglossal canal in occipital
just above foramen magnum
(ventral, inferior to vagus nerve)

66
Q

describe cn xii - secondary fucntions

A

speech = muscles of mastication to open and close mouth
vagus modulates voice box position
move tongue around so will not touch teeth/roof of mouth

67
Q

describe overlapping territories of some cranial nerves

A

some functions, organs or regions supplied by multiple cranial nerves
clinically useful for diagnosing lesions

68
Q

describe overlapping territories of face

A

general somatic sensory = cn v, 3 branches trigeminal
general somatic motor = cn vii facial

69
Q

describe overlapping territories of tongue

A

cn v3 (mandibular) = gen somatic sensory ant 2/3 of tongue (pain, texture, etc)
cn vii (facial, chorda tympani hitchhike) = special visceral sensory ant 2/3 tongue (taste)
cn ix (glossopharyngeal) = special visceral and somatic sensory to post 1/3 tongue (hot/cold from back of tongue)
cn xii (hypoglossal) = somatic motor = tongue muscles

70
Q

describe overlapping territories of salivation

A

cn vii = glossopharyngeal (parotid)
cn ix = facial (sublingual and submandibular)
