Ear, Eye, Nose, etc (nerves and such) Flashcards
Which nerve carries parasympathetic PRE-ganglionic fibers for sight from the Oculomotor nerve?
The Oculomtor nerve itself
Which ganglion do pre-ganglionic parasymp fibers from CNIII synapse at?
Ciliary ganglion
Which nerve carries the postganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the ciliary ganglion to the target organs?
CNV1 (Ophthalmic N via short ciliary nerve branches)
Target organ of CNV1 carrying parasympathetic fibers from ciliary ganglion
Sphincter papillae muscle; Ciliary muscle
What are the nerves that give off pre-ganglionic parasympathetics in the head and which nerve(s) carries the post-ganglionic fibers to the respective target organs?
CNIII; CNVII; CNIX (Oculomotor, Facial, Hypoglossal)
Trigeminal nerve (CNV) divisions: CNV1, CNV2, CNV3
Which nerve carries parasympathetic pre-ganglionic fibers from CNVII that go the lacrimal gland (as well as palate, nasal cavity and nasopharynx)?
Greater petrosal nerve
Which ganglion does the greater petrosal nerve have synapses in?
Pterygopalatine ganglion
Nerves that carry post-ganglionic parasympathetic fibers from pterygopalatine ganglion to lacrimal gland
CNV2 (Maxillary division) >> Nasopalatine + Greater and Lesser palatine nerves
Facial nerve branch that carries pre-ganglionic parasympathetic taste fibers
Chorda tympani
Ganglion in which Chorda tympani synapses
Submandibular ganglion
Nerve that carries post-ganglionic parasymp fibers from Corda tympani
CNV3 (Mandibular division) via Lingual nerve
Target of lingual nerve from submandibular ganglion
Submandibular glands + Sublingual glands
Lesser petrosal nerve carries pre-ganglionic parasympathetic fibers from CN___
Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)
Ganglion to which the lesser petrosal nerve (w/ parasymp fibers from CNIX) travels and synapses
Otic ganglion
Which nerve carries post-ganglionic parasymp fibers from the otic gland and what is the target organ?
CNV3 (Mandibular division) via Auriculotemporal N
Parotid gland
