Ear and oral cavity Flashcards
what is the somatic sensation of the external ear?
variations CN 5, 7, 9, 10
lesser occipital nerve: C2 ventral ramus
great auricular nerve: C2, C3
what are the ossicles lateral to medial?
malleus, incus, stapes
what interacts with the tympanic membrane?
handle of the malleus
what goes through the handle of the malleus?
chorda tympani
where does the lesser petrosal nerve form a synapse with the otic ganglion for the parotid gland?
medial wall, promontory with tympanic plexus
where does the glossopharyngeal nerve originate?
lateral medulla oblongata and through the jugular foramen
what does the tympanic nerve innervate?
the middle ear mucosal surface
what gives off the lesser petrosal nerve?
tympanic nerve
what does the stylopharyngeal nerve innervate
the stylopharyngeal muscle
branchial/ somatic motor
what does the carotid sinus regulate?
blood pressure (visceral sensory)
what does the carotid body regulate?
SaO2, chemical sensation
what are the functions of the lingual branch of CN 9?
chemical sensation: taste of posterior 1/3 of tongue
somatic sensation: posterior 1/3 tongue and pharynx
what are the branches of CN 9?
tympanic nerve, stylopharyngeal nerve, carotid branch, lingual branch, communicating branches to the vagus nerve
what is the innervation and function of the tensor tympani?
function: tenses tympanic membrane, decrease the vibration to dampen chewing **coordinated with mastication muscles
innervation: tensor tympani nerve from CN V3
what is the function and innervation of the stapedius?
function: dampens vibrations passed to cochlea via the oval window
innervation: nerve to stapedius from CN 7
