Cranial Nerves V, Vll, and Vlll with vocab Flashcards
What area does cranial nerve V spare?
the cutaneous area over the angle of the jaw
What innervates the cutaneous angle of the jaw?
the great auricular nerve of the cervicoplexus (dermatome C2, C3)
A lesion in the peripheral CN V will cause what and spares what?
loss of facial sensation but will spare the area over the angle of the jaw
What branch of CN V has a reccurent or meningeal branch that innervates the dura of the middle and anterior cranial fossae?
mandibular branch (accounting for cervical influence of head pain)
The motor portion of CN V supplies what (be specific)?
muscles of mastication
- masseter
- Temporalis
- Medial Pterygoid
What do the muscles of mastication function in?
closing the jaw
CN V also innervates the lateral pterygoids which function in what?
opening the jaw (used bilaterally) or lateral movement of jaw
What is the function of the RIGHT lateral pterygoid?
move the jaw to the LEFT
When there is sensory impairment of CN V it results in a sunken or hollowing out appearance of the temples and zygomatic arches. If the OPTHALMIC division is involve there may be corneal inflammation and ulceration termed what?
Neruroparalytic keratitis
What explains sharp, painful facial sensation in the clear distribution of the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular divisions of CN V?
Trigeminal neuralgia
AKA
Tic Douloureux
LMN lesions of CN V can occur anywhere in the nerve cell body from pontine nucleus to the peripheral CN and will result in what?
Paralysis and denervation atrophy of mastication muscles
Corneal reflex may be absent in early cases of what disease?
MS
Can you adjust a patient day one if they have irritation?
Yes, b/c sensory, reflex, strength test are okay
Can you adjust a compression patient on day one?
NO b/c diminished tests
Should you adjust a patient that is hypermobile due to recent trauma?
NO, wait about 4-5 days for fibrinogen to strengthen and stabilize joint
A unilateral lesion involving the corticobulbar pathways will
- spare the forhead
- cause drooping of one side
- Spare the forehead
A contralateral lesion of the lower face will:
- spare the movement
- cause long term affects
- cause long term affects
(b/c the lower face requires unilateral movement and receives a greater amount of contralateral fibers)
Where does CN Vll divide and into what branches?
Parotid Gland
- Temporofacial
a) temporal
b) zygomatic
c) upper buccal branches - cervicofacial
a) lower buccal
b) mandiblar
c) cervical branches
What CN innervates the stapedius and what is the function of this muscle?
CN Vll; dampen movement of the tympanic membrane
Stimulation to the:
- parasympathetic fibers of CN Vll wiill cause what
- Sympathetic fibers will cause what
- increase secretion of thick watery saliva
- scant supply of thick and turbid saliva
What is prosopoplegia?
peripheral facial paralysis
Facial muscle paralysis is from a lesion where:
- peripheral (nuclear)

EITHER
A lesion peripheral to the geniculate Ganglion will cause what?
Bells palsy
