ONLY Gray Ramus Communicans
Everything except T1-L2,L3
Both gray AND white ramus communicans
T1-L2, L3
Pre-ganglionic parasympathetic fibers
Cholinergic
Postganglionic parasympathetic fibers
cholinergic
Preganglionic sympathetic fibers
cholinergic
Postganglionic sympathetic fibers
NE
parasympathetic: CN III, VII, IX supply what
structures in head
parasymp: CN X supply what
cardiac, respiratory, digestive
Parasym: S2, S3, S4 supply
distal parts of digestive system and urogenital system
Parasympathetic oculomotor nerve preganglionic cell bodies are located where
accessory oculomotor nucleus
Preganglionic cell bodies of the oculomotor nerve synapse where
ciliary ganglion
Oculomotor nerve postganglionic fibers are carried in what structure
short ciliary nerves
Short ciliary nerves of the oculomotor nerve enter the eyeball and supply what two muscles
ciliary muscle
sphincter pupillae
Ciliary muscle action
contraction makes the lens more convex to focus on closer objects
sphincter pupillae action
contraction decreases size of pupil
Facial nerve preganglionic cell bodies are located where
superior part of the salivary nucleus
Facial nerve exits the CNS in what structure
intermediate nerve
ear: ectodermal thickening on the lateral head is called what
placode
placode invaginates giving rise to what
auditory pit
auditory pit gives rise to what
auditory vesicle
Auditory vesicle gives rise to what
membranous inner ear
Auditory tube and tympanic cavity is derived from what
first pharyngeal pouch
Malleus is derived from what
dorsal end of the ventral mandibular cartilage
Incus develops from what
dorsal end of the first pharyngeal arch
Stapes is derived from
dorsal end of the second pharyngeal arch
Tympanic membrane is derived from
interstitial mesoderm
External acoustic canal
first pharyngeal groove
Auricle develops from what
groove next to the first pharyngeal groove
Auricle AKA
Pinna
Auricle means what
“horn like”
intrinsic muscles of the ear
helicus major + minor tragicus antitragicus transverse muscle of the auricle oblique muscle of the auricle
smallest extrinsic muscle of the auricle
anterior auricular muscle
where does the anterior auricular muscle insert
inserts in front of the helix
which is the largest of the extrinsic muscles of the auricle
superior auricular muscle
Where does the superior auricular muscle insert
superior side of auricle
where does the posterior auricular muscle insert
lower posterior aspect of concha
Medial 2/3 of the EAM is located within what
temporal bone
Modified sweat glands within the EAM produce what
cerumen
EAM terminates at what
tympanic membrane
Motor supply to the external ear
temporal and posterior auricular branch of facial nerve
sympathetic supply of the external ear
superior cervical ganglion
two parts of the middle ear
tympanic cavity and epitympanic recess
Three small bones of the middle ear
malleus, incus, stapes
two muscles located in the tympanic cavity
stapedius
tensor tympani
Roof of middle ear AKA
tegmental wall
Tegmental Wall/ Roof is formed by what
petrous part of the temporal bone
Floor of the middle ear AKA
Jugular wall
Jugular wall is formed by what
thin layer of bone separating the cavity from the internal jugular vein
A small opening in the jugular wall serves as the entrance for what
tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve
lateral boundary of the middle ear AKA
membranous wall
