Nervus intermedius
Fibers of VII exit the skull through the ___________ ________
Stylomastoid foramen
Facial n. passes through the ________ ______ where a plexus is formed
Parotid Gland
Superior salivatory nucleus -> _______ ________ n. -> Pterygopalatine ganglion
Greater Petrosal n.
Superior salivatory nucleus -> ________ ________ n. -> Submandibular ganglion
Chorda Tympani n.
Action of Facial SVE
Muscles of facial expression - Closes eye; closes lips
Stapedius m. - modulates sound volume
Action of Facial GVE
Salivation and Lacrimation
Bell’s Palsy def and symptoms
Facial n. lesion
- Irritation of cornea
- Paresis of facial mm. above and below the eye
- Hyperacusis - increased sensitivity to noise
- Reduced lacrimation & salivation
- Numbness or pain of the ear, tongue, or face
Facial n. Paralysis
Complete over half the face
Which Facial n. component passes through the facial canal?
Both Facial n. proper and and Nervus intermedius
After coursing through the facial canal the facial n. turns to form the ________ _____
external genu
What is found at the external genu?
The geniculate ganglion
Intermediate nerve fibers and some fibers of the facial n. exit before reaching the ________ ________
Stylomastoid Foramen
Which branches of Facial n. exit prior to the Stylomastoid foramen?
Stapedial n., Branch to pterygopalatine ganglion, Chorda tympani n.
Crocodile tears
Unilateral tearing seen in anticipation of, and during meals
- History of Bell’s Palsy
- Parasympathetic fibers to submandibular ganglion have been re-routed to pterygopalatine ganglion
Supranuclear lesion (above nucleus)
- Paralysis (paresis of muscles of facial expression below level of the eye
- Paralysis is located on the side opposite the lesion
Hyperalgesia
noxious stimulus that evokes pain sensation greater than normal
Allodynia
non-noxious stimulus that evokes pain sensation
Inflammatory pain
- caused by tissue damage
- produces hypersensitivity at site and in adjacent normal tissue
- resolves when disease is controlled
Neuropathic pain
- Caused by nervous system lesion independent of peripheral pathology
- Pain persists long after initiating event has healed
Peripheral Sensitization
- Stimulation of afferent ending (“activation”)
- Repeated stimulation produces “autosensitization” (hyperalgesia)
Sensitizing agents
Bradykinin, Norepinephrine, Prostaglandins, Serotonin
True or False: Peripheral sensitization is non-reversible
False: Quickly reversible
Central Sensitization
Intense and prolonged stimulation of nociceptive fibers
Central Sensitization can result in:
Modification of peripheral receptor due to:
- Increased gene expression resulting in
1. Enhanced receptor sensitivity
2. Increased number of receptor sites
Central Sensitization - Wind-up location
Posterior horn/trigeminal spinal nucleus
Enhanced activity of C (pain) fibers results in:
- Increased sensitivity of glutamate receptors
2. Suppressed activity of inhibitory interneurons
Microglia morphological states
Surveillance State (resting)
- Ramified configuration with small (micro) central region and long narrow processes
Enhanced Response State (activated)
- Enlarged, amoeboid configuration
Microglia are physically active with ____ and _____ _________ elements
Pre and Post synaptic
