Cranial Nerves - Sheet1 Flashcards
Olfactory path
travels along floor of cranial fossa; olfactory bulbs (cell bodies) sit on cribiform plate; sensory endings project through openings
Optic path
retinal ganglion cells->optic canal; surrounded by meninges; contains retinal artery and vein
Oculomotor path
SOF through cavernous sinus
Trochlear path
only dorsal exit from brainstem; SOF through cavernous sinus
Trigeminal Ophthalamic division path
superior orbital fissure
Trigeminal maxillary division path
foramen rotundum
Trigeminal mandibular division path
foramen ovale
Abducens path
SOF
Facial path
Interal acoustic meatus
Vestibulocochlear path
Interal acoustic meatus
Glossopharangel path
Jugular
Vagus path
Jugular
Spinal Accessory path
cranial part exits jugular foramen; spinal part enters skull through foramen magnum; exits through jugular foramen
Hypoglossal path
hypoglossal canal
Olfactory motor
none
Optic motor
none
Oculomotor motor
all extraocular muscles except SO and LR
Trochlear motor
superior oblique muscle
Trigeminal Ophthalamic division motor
none
Trigeminal maxillary division motor
none
Trigeminal mandibular division motor
muscles of mastication
Abducens motor
lateral rectus muscle; lesion causes “lazy eye”
