  • Supratrochlear Nerve = to top of nose
20
Q

What are the 2 primary sensory nerves of V2 maxillary sensory division?
What is special about it?

A
  • Infraorbital Nerve = front of face
  • Palatine Nerve = roof of the mouth
  • infraorbital out of infraorbital foramen
21
Q

What are the 3 primary sensory nerves of V3 mandibular sensory division?
special?

24
Q

What is the function of CN7?

A
  • Facial Nerve

  • glands in face (everything but parotid)
25
Q

What cranial nerve provides posterior 1/3 sensation on the tongue?

A
  • Cranial Nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal Nerve)
26
Q

What cranial nerve provides the sensory component to the oropharynx of the soft palate?

A
  • Cranial Nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal Nerve)
27
Q

What cranial nerve is involved in transmitting signals from our chemoreceptors (carotid body) and baroreceptors (carotid sinus)?

A
  • Cranial Nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal Nerve)
28
Q

What gland is involved with Cranial Nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal Nerve)?

A

  • Only gland in the face connected to CN IX. All other glands are connected to the CN VII (Facial Nerve)
29
Q

Which cranial nerve provides a sensory inner/middle ear connection and auditory canal?

A
  • Cranial Nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal Nerve)
  • mainly pain!
  • tonsils + back of tongue too
30
Q

Efferent Review of the Cranial Nerve X (Vagus Nerve)

  • Pharyngeal constrictors
  • PSNS to heart (↓HR)
  • PSNS to GI (motility)
  • PSNS to lungs/airways (constriction)
  • PSNS
31
Q

Sensory Review of the Cranial Nerve X (Vagus Nerve)

A
  • Laryngopharynx
  • Larynx
  • Epiglottis
  • Trachea
  • Aortic arch: BP & acid/base
32

A
  • Internal Larygneal Branch
  • External Laryngeal Branch
34
Q

What does the external laryngeal branch do?

A

38
Q

What did Schmidt want us to know about the Brachial Plexus in this lecture?

A
  • Interconnected fibrous sheath covering over the trunks + parts of BP
    o Help absorb impact + protect underlying nerves
  • IF can get under sheath + put 15 cc of LA
    o  sheath will hold it in + cover a lot of pathways with 1 injection site
39
Q

What are usually found surrounding nerves?

A
  • blood vessels
  • o Smaller vessel branches go into deeper portions of nerve to supply with nutreients + oxygen
40
Q

What is the most exterior fibrous covering of a nerve called?

A
  • Outer Epineurium
41
Q

What is an inner or interior epineurium?

A
  • Chunks of Epineurium connective tissue that wraps around interior nerve fascicles.
  • The interior epineurium takes up space and provides nutrient support for the nerve fascicles
42
Q

The connective tissue that creates a border between a nerve fascicle.

A
  • Perineurium
43
Q

The tissue inside the perineurium.

A
  • Endoneurium
44
Q

Supraclavicular Fossa

A

divot just above clavicle
